Where’s Mt man? Mt. man is my favorite.

Personally, since I have lived alone for 17 years, I am not one to put up a Christmas tree in my apartment. Here in my country, the tree is usually prepared on December 8, which is a holiday, the day of the Immaculate Conception. It's funny because at Christmas we are in summer and we eat some winter foods. About your fear of heights, I used to have it because I fell off a chair. But two years ago, I gathered courage and climbed a 15-step ladder to cut the branches from the tree at my father's house. I confess that at times I felt afraid when I looked down, but when I went down and saw the tree without so many branches, my joy was overflowing to see that I was able to overcome and control said fear.

The kids and i have the tree up (not decorated) September 1, out decorating starts lat October early November. I’m a huge Christmas guy as well!!!

Christmas in July! I can’t wait until the all the Christmas soaps and creams start coming out!

It is a special day, it’s my daughter’s birthday today! 🥳🥳🥳

I have heard you as well as others speak highly of the Stirling Christmas Eve scent. I will need to key an eye out for it when it becomes available again. I like the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol with Reginald Owen as Scrooge. I like the Wassail Song as it has a good historical story.

Great shave. Stirling makes great soap scents. I shave everyday too. It exfoliates your skin. That combined with high quality soaps, splashes, and balms as well as Alum and/or Witch Hazel will definitely improve a persons skin/complexion. It helped me 110%😊

Many men shave every day. I do. What flavor of Treet blades do you use/like? I have tried the carbon steel ones and found them to be a little harsh. Perhaps, I used it on the wrong razor.

I like texas on fire soap

I purchased a tub of Texas on Fire after watching your shave with it in the recent past. When I opened it after I received it, I could definitely smell the smoke in it. I was not sure how well I was going to like shaving with it. I tried it and discovered the smokey scent was not so strong once I lathered it and enjoyed it quite well. Thanks for the recommendation.

Do you other soaps or cream outside of Stirling?

I soak all my brushes prior to shaving even if it synthetic. It is just my habit/routine. It does not hurt the synthetic fibers.

Margaritas in the Arctic is one of my favorites. Very refreshing.

I try to limit how much time I spend outside in the summer. It is just too hot and humid on the Gulf Coast.

I have that soap and find it quite refreshing.

Great shave😊 I am picking that Viking Revolution Peppermint today because it is on sale on Amazon. Aren't you going on a cruise soon? And you are thinking about ships sinking? 😂 The Carpathia sank in 1918 during WW1 from a torpedo, but the Brittanic sank in 1916 after hitting a mine. Very sad about that whole line from White Star.

is that a badger or boars hair brush and do you have hard or soft water? thanks

I just got my sampler pack, and trying their soaps for the first time. So far, I’ve enjoyed very much. I’m thinking about making the switch from soap pucks, to the soap like you have, and get a mixing bowl from them.

I have not tried British Leather yet but plan to given your recommendation. I have never been on a cruise. I know many people that have. I guess I never really wanted to. I have lived/travelled all over the word for work. Have a great time.

Great shave and great choice in shave soap😊 You can't go wrong with British Leather. I have never been on a cruise. Too expensive for me. I spend my vacations at the Jersey shore where my in-laws have a little home in Wildwood Crest. Have an awesome trip! 🙂👊

I wipe down the soap jar as well plus let it dry down all day before putting the lid back on. It's funny you talked about Stirling's British Leather. That is in my top 5 shave soaps because the scent is amazing! I got the soap, aftershave and balm from Pasteur's Pharmacy. My wife loves it. I think it was an homage to English Leather so I usually use English Leather or Mason Alhambra's Toscano Leather afterwards as my cologne. I can't get enough of that scent. I feel that way about Pinaud Clubman's Special Reserve Aftershave/Cologne too. It is definitely a unique scent😊

I do wash the outside of the container as you do. Do you wipe the top of the bloomed soap after you are done shaving? I have seen at least one other person wipe/dry the top of the soap.

I always tell people I’ll take a blizzard over a tornado or hurricane any day! Have a magical and safe vacation!!!!

I live just outside Houston. The hurricane was not all that bad - I’ve been in worse. Not much flooding. A lot of very gusty winds though, which knocked down a lot of trees and then power lines. The text message I received from my electrical company said most likely Saturday, they will finish my neighborhood. It’s hotter than a two dollar pistol both inside and out. Great shave this morning. Gave me something to watch.

⁠give the A&E a try you might enjoy it. I’m a HUUUUGE Christmas guy and there’s a scent of cinnamon or something in it that reminds me of Christmas. Maybe try a sample soap.

Which brush do you perform? I noticed you went to a synthetic for today’s shave. Have you tried Bay Rum from A&E?

I believe Bay Rum is a summer scent. I could very well be incorrect. I also believe that it smells like a spice cabinet is due to the bay leaf native to the West Indies. It is not the same species as the bay leaves used in cooking but I believe they are the same genus.

I agree about using whatever soap scent you like regardless of the month.

Great shave. I was able to get mine in just before the hurricane hit and I lost power. I fully agree with your comments regarding pro sports and money. I played D1 football and to me I played because I love the sport. I did not play much but it was the best time of my life. I do feel that college ball and its players are becoming/ have become more like the pros regarding paying players and also the transfer portal. Oh well…

Good tutorial for new folks.

Great news on the A1c! Well done. I find out mine later this month.

Great list, buddy! Glad Christmas Eve is still a favorite of yours. Let me know if there are any other soaps you’re looking for. I’m happy to keep my eye out for them!

My advice (if you want it) is to change your nutrition! I’ve lost over 100LBS and it’s been 5 years! I was a Big Mac away from a heartache! If you think you can’t you’re wrong! I thought I couldn’t and I did! I was 340LBS. Now I’m sitting around 220! You can do it I believe in you!

Love bay rum!

You are not alone. I am 55 (almost 56) and my life came to a crossroads at 54. I had the trifecta of ailments like you at 5'6" and 255 for the last 20 years...Type 2 Diabetes, HB and High Cholesterol. I had the same attitude you did..."I can't change that now so I will just ride it out and do what I can." BUT I was never serious. Wife and two high school kids kept me busy. Involved with Boy Scouts and my Church. Time flew by. In March of '23 I ended up in the hospital with multiple foot infections on my left foot that had gone septic. A week in the hospital and 3 surgeries later (the 4th was being lined up for amputation), the doctors got the infection cleared up. I spent 2 months at home is a hospital bed with IV 3 times a day. It was hell. I promised myself I would not go back to the old me. I changed my lifestyle once I got back on my feet last summer....I lost 85 pounds since then. I get up 4am and workout until 6am (ride the exercise bike, sit ups, push ups and weights) and top it off with a nice wet shave. That is my Zen. I went from a 46 waist to a 32. I feel and look like I am in my 30s (except for the white hair! LOL) YOU CAN CHANGE IT AROUND, but you should not wait until there is a crisis. Do it now. Little changes if you are young. Maybe a more serious change in your 40s. Sorry to babble. I am a new subscriber and like your content. Sam

Don’t forget all the joints going snap, crackle, & pop and needing replacement.

Happy Birthday! Goofy also had his birthday recently on May 25th. I hope you had a wonderful day!

Love Barbershop! Smells great! I also get the aftershave splash in barbershop. A tiny bit and your smelling great all day. I literally wear it like a cologne. Doesn't take much. Smells awesome! Happy birthday to you!!

Happy birthday!🎉

Happy Birthday to my favourite KZfaq Double Edge Shaver 🎁🎂

Happy birthday, Robert! Looks like it started off the right way with a great shave!

I must say that was fast shave. Great shave 😊

I like the frequency of your new videos. I am the guy who mentioned about how fast you shave. I have been using a safety razor/wet shaving for ~25 years and I still do not go that fast. I can do it in quick fashion but not like you 😂.

I love the Bevel post shave balm! That menthol and tea tree combo is really really nice!

I have never tried Clifton blades but I have a pack in a sample set I purchased. What is your opinion on them? Oh crap, next week is the Fourth of July. Snuck up on me.

I am also diabetic and as you said it is not a death sentence. However, I have, in the past many years, had highly variable glucose levels and an A1c over nine. I was using fast acting and slow acting insulin. My PCP put me on terzepatide a couple of months ago. Since then, my glucose has stabilized and I have completely eliminated the short acting insulin and reduced the long acting insulin by 60 units/day. I have also managed to lose about 20 pounds. Hopefully, my A1c next month will be “normal.”

I have used Stirling Barbershop soap and splash. I love the smell and it does a great job at cushioning and slickness. I wish I was about to turn 42 😛

Sir, I love watching your videos. I am amazed at how fast you use your razor. I do not mean that in bad way. I have been using a safety razor since the late 1990’s and while I am going as quickly as my muscle memory allows me anymore, I am amazed at your technique - again in the best possible way. When you go from the left side of your face and then horizontally across you chin, I am gobsmacked as they say across the pond. I would definitely need some alum. Again, amazed in a good way. Keep up the great work.

I found a Pinterest link showing the notes. The link doesn't work anymore but there was a preview of most of the notes: "This blend of oud is our sexiest scent yet. Top notes: Rose, Lemon, Smoke Mid notes: Woods, Cedar, Amber Base notes: Oud, Musk"

Dad gum that sounds good I'm going to have to watch this when I get back from breakfast!
