SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Occams crushed lime pre shave soap
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Lord Platinum
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap: Razorock Moroccan Secret
Post: Stirling Arkadia balm



Nice shave this morning. The scent of Moroccan Secret is a light citrus. the old tallow formula is not bad at all, but did get some irritation probably from the blade since it did feel rough for yesterday's shave. Finished off with Stirling Arkadia balm. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

Beautiful shaver with performance to back it up...
Razor: Wacker Chevalier
Brush: Thater 4125/1
Soap: Catie’s Bubbles Parma Inspiration
A/S: Razorock XXX

Enjoy your shave!
Tom.

 

When you buy the package, they send you 2 handles, ( 17 blades), which didn`t make sense to me. I have an extra handle, and about 10 blades left. So my idea is to send you a handle and 4 blades. The whole thing only cost 8 bucks, the problem is, it takes like forever to ship them from India. That way you won`t have to wait so long. I`m getting ready to order another package, or buy just the blades on E Bay. Something to think on. God Bless, Bill

 

Very elegant razor. Two thumbs up.

 

Just saw it on EBay. For $7.99 not a bad deal at all. Plus 15 extra heads. I won't be able to use them on this trip, but I'll have some for my next travel assignment. Thanks again Bill for the tip.

 

FYI
Saw them on Maggards
Try to avoid travel after my years at it but, they are probably what I'd use.
Happy Trails!

 

Thanks Scott!

 

Great! Just remember that it takes several weeks, if not longer to get them from India.

 

Thank you, Roby!

 

Thank you!

March Madness!!!

March 18

Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (9)
Blade - (3)
Soap - Stirling Ozark Mountain
Brush - Stirling Synthetic Pro Type
Post - Alum

Third and final shave with the Fatboy on 9 and Perma-Sharp. If I was going to buy a 100 pack of Russian Gillette made blades this is one I would seriously consider. This blade, along with the Gillette Silver Blue, are the best two blades from St. Petersburg, in my somewhat biased opinion. I was able to focus a bit better, remind myself it was on 9, and get a BBS with nearly silent alum tonight. Fine, fine shave and the scent of the Ozark Mountain soap just made it that much better.

With that shave the Fatboy is packed away waiting to move, along with the soap, and I'll be reverting to my "final razor" for this location. From here to the end of the move I'll be using my 1959 Super Speed, along with a few more Russian blades. I'm going to go with Arko and Proraso as my soaps for the next two weeks. Going old school and simple to keep getting things in boxes.

While packing stuff I ran onto a digital camera that I have no idea where it came from. My wife swears she's never seen it before, so somewhere along the line it somehow fell into our possession. Asked a couple of friends that I thought might have left it here but nobody seems to know anything about it. No battery, but it has a memory stick in it. I have ordered a batter and charging cable for it so I should be able to figure out where it came from once those arrive. If it's still a mystery I may have stumbled onto a better camera for taking pictures. Not sure I can still use a real camera as opposed to a phone!

Hope your week starts out great tomorrow! It's hump day for me so my weekend is closer than yours. Yeah, I know, don't rub it in.
