I will be praying for all of you John.

 

That it is. I wouldn't even think it was possible to scratch mystery with this heel. Well, I can

Day Twenty-One



Magic, y'all. Did I mention that this cream is one of my top three fave scents? It is. Really like the AS as well. I think it retails for about $7 at drug stores. Reminiscent of LaCoste Pour Homme in the red glass. I like that cologne very much. Killed it two pass style with the Shark SS. Thinking about March Madness? @NCoxSTL - thoughts? Winter is moving back in, but one more day in the sun left. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a groovy Wednesday!

 

Me? Thoughts about March Madness? Well, yes, actually but nothing concrete. Although rumor has it the cartel may be moving some heavy steel during March.

 

Heavy steel? Alright, cool.



Just kidding. Hold my beer.

 

Well if you consider 240 blades heavy steel. I'm thinking they need to find a good home or two. But don't tell anybody. I'd hate for the secret to get out.

 

Loose lips sink ships. It's just between us (and the whole internet). Mum is the word.

 

Looks like a matched set!

 

February 22 (Wednesday) - Fendrihan Scientist aka living dangerously
Fendrihan Scientist / Voskhod (3)
Kent woodhandled boar brush
The Eternal Tub of TOBS Avocado Cream ( croap )
Alum and Thayers Witch Hazel Aftershave

The above quote nicely sums up today's shave.

A single diagonal pass with no touch up gave me a DFS+ and, more importantly, no blood. The Fendrihan Scientist feels more roughly aggressive than the Fatip Grande. Throughout the shave, it felt like an overpowered sportbike just waiting for me to tap the throttle a little too hard so it could dump me. I rode the cap and used the lightest touch I could manage while still having the razor in contact with my face. The result is not a BBS - but it's also the first time I have ever shaved with the Fendrihan without having several nicks or weepers.

I have to give a lot of the credit to the Voskhod. Unlike the Fatip, I can't see myself keeping the Fendrihan Scientist in my regular rotation, but on the occasions when I do use it, the Voskhod is clearly a good blade to choose. Tomorrow I will try it with the GSB. Unlike the Krona and Fatip, I wouldn't even consider loading a Topaz Platinum in this brute.

To be honest, I will likely just use the Fendrihan Scientist a couple more times to prove to myself that this razor hasn't beaten me, and then I will unload it on someone who actually likes shaving with DE razors like the Muhle R41. It's an extremely well made stainless steel razor but just too touchily aggressive for my tastes. Anyone here interested?

 

My thoughts are with you and your daughter for a successful therapy.

 

You did the right thing, an awesome brush and some awesome CF. I have both and you choose well.

 

Wow! Great picture, Mark!

 

There is no doubt that Setting Neal can bring some blood. A little bump on the face? Setting Neal will take that right off for you! A little nick? Setting Neal will turn it into a gusher! Yep, Setting Neal can bring some blood if you aren't careful.

 

I just want to thank you all for your outpourings of support. I'm sorry if I missed anyone. If I did, rest assured that it was an oversight and not a snub.

 

Definitely the shave of the month!

 

February 22 SOTD:

Razorock Plissoft Brush
La Toja Shave Stick
Gillette Fatboy
Stirling Unscented PSB
Supply Provision Co PS Tonic

Gym shave this morning, and I wanted to do a Fatboy February shave. Really not a lot to say about this shave. Smooth and easy. The Fatboy is so familiar to me, I can almost go on autopilot. The La Toja performed well, as it normally does, and the Supply Provision Co PST is a decent finish. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Thanks Keith!

 

My prayers are with your daughter and your family for a successful treatment and recovery.
