New Year's Day SOTD Sunday, January 1, 2017 Doug Korn TGN Finest Route 66 Cranberry Citrus Option 5 Polsilver Super Iridium #2 Fine L'Orange Noir Terre d Hermes
Awesome photo! You didn't show the soap. In the event of a tie, the validity of this photo will be subject to decision of the rules committee.
Well - actually I did ... you just don't see it, because it is covered by the brush I only have Route 66 samples, no full tubs. And I put most of my soap samples into that brown/grey stoneware jar. We don't have to worry about a tie here ... I only have 2 more samples left. They won't get me through the whole month, I guess
SOTD January 1, 2017 Blade: Chinese Schick Razor: Schick M adjustable injector Brush: Jayaruh #60 synthetic Lather: Route 66 Cavendish Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Ozark Mountain Trail aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, touch-up And we're off! Thanks to Martin (@Marverel) for getting things started. This looks to be a really fun month of shaves! I will be using a sample of Cavendish until I use it up. The scent reminds me a lot of Cahaba Blues by Country Club. That's a good thing since that's one of my favorite soaps. I went with the JR #60 synthetic brush, got it slightly damp, and began to load. Only needed about 10 seconds of loading to pick up superb, well-hydrated suds. Then I face lathered with beautiful results. Shiny, slick, beautiful lather. Excellent results. The shave went well using that incredible lather. One big pass with touch-ups and I'm feeling smooth. First impression of Route 66 is highly positive. So easy to load and lather, excellent slickness and cushion, and great post-shave feel. This is top-notch soap, as you others who have used it attested to already. @Paul Turner - Kathleen's website says this about the Cavendish: "Lightly spiced cedar wood mingles with notes of bergamot, bay and fir; nicely balanced with the slightly sweet, warm aroma of Cavendish cut and cured tobacco leaf." I think that hits the nail on the head. No one scent sticks out. It's a beautiful, warm blend of all of this. I enjoy this scent very much and would be quite happy to get a full tub of it. Looking forward to everyone's shaves this month. Have a great day and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Thanks for the Cav report, Perry. I'd love to be able to do just "one big pass" as you did, with my soaps. I need to see SUDS.
Razor: Gillette Super Speed w/wings 1947 (Birth year razor) (@Boojum1) Blade: Feather Platinum (1) Brush: WDC-1(Grandfather's) Black Badger Wood Handle (Whipped Dog) Soap: Route 66 Cranberry Citrus Aftershave: Myrsol Aqua de Limon A very good shave tonight to start off a new year. Using my Grandfathers brush that I restore is always very special. The use of a special gift from one of my amigos is another excellent way to start off a year. Thanks Mark. The Route 66 Cranberry Citrus is a good soap to use with the Myrsol Aqua de Limon aftershave.
Mark, how do you like the cranberry citrus? I think it has taken the top spot of citrusy soaps for me. Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
They lost their first game 5-3. I was a good game not counting the loss. They beat a team they had never beaten before 5-0. It was an amazing game. Then they lost to a team they had never lost to before 3-2 to miss going to a playoff. It was still an outstanding day with family. Thanks so much for asking Clint.
That's kind of the way the Washington Capitals play-they get psyched to play the better teams, and do very well, then can play flimsy against the bad ones. That's a lot of hockey he played.
Your quite right Paul, he plays at an elite level. They play many games during their season. Then they have a summer camp after they get a month off.
Andrew, Kathleen picked a winner for me. The Cranberry Citrus is my favorite Route 66 Soap. It is an awesome scent!
