Nice relaxing shave before my doctor appointment this morning. Have to go in for a stress test next week as my doctor says I'm on the verge of hypertension and flirting with a heart attack. What a lovely way to start the day.

 

Ah, well in that case.......

 

October 24 SOTD:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen
EJ Chatsworth Barley
Stirling Unscented PSB
Kramperts Finest Frostbite AS

Another successful shave with the EJ and Gillette Platinum Plus blade combination. The Stirling Glacial Wintergreen was fantastic as was the Kramperts Finest Frostbite. A good start to my week. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

I just ordered some Kai Titan Mild blades for my CJB. Looking forward to giving the Pain Stick a try again after seeing some of the posts by @Marverel and others here lately.

Of course, it looks like they are on the slow boat from Japan. Between these and the Russian variety pack of DE blades, I have something on slow boats in each ocean.

 

Hope things go well. Heart issues are no fun at all.

 

Good advise with the finger on the anvil. It is a tried and true method. Most definitely the difference between a tap and a hit. I learned it from a Blacksmith years ago.

 

Oh no, what did I do??????

 

Yes, there is something going on somewhere, but what.

 

Razor: Timeless Stainless Steel Open Comb w/Timeless Pineapple Handle
Blade: Gillette Platinum (4)
Brush: Shavemac Zebra, Honeycomb 2 Band
Soap: Route 66 Rum Runner
Aftershave: Folsom Shady Past
Each shave with this razor gets better each and every time. One thing I like about the Timeless OC is how the blade snaps into place when you load the blade on the inside of the head. One gentle push in the middle of the blade and it securely snaps into place. Even if you don't do that you will hear it snap into place when you tighten down the handle. Great feature IMO.
A 3 pass with the slightest clean up to finish and a very, very, very near BBS. The Gillette Platinum is working fine along with the Route 66 Rum Runner soap. It is very easy to lather as it is slick. The Shavemac 2 band is a great brush.

 

Take careful of yourself and wishing you improved health.

 

I detect a disturbance in the force. I shaved with a DE twice in the past 7 days. Times are strange.

 

Twice? In a week? Now I'm scared!

 

I procured a brush-good one for now, but I'm looking ahead.

 

Trying to decide between a Muhle R41 or a Fattip Piccolo. Why am I even bothering? Probably should just go back to straights a few times a week.

Good idea to go back to straights but that isn't the solution to your dilemma. The solution is simple....Muhle R41 or Fatip Piccolo.....BOTH!

 

No harm, no foul Paul! Policy is "It's your face, your shave!"
But when I realized you hadn't succumb to the Required Minimum number of Aquisition Disorders I felt duty bound to step up. You have resisted the hardcore Enabelers Squad that ensures we all try everything at some point. I did my part by getting some Unobtanium headed your way. That soap is only a legend to most folks. Lots of guys here weren't born before it was reformulated. About the only way to get some is through Estate Sales. There was a rumor about the blocked off sections of the Statue of Liberty. Opps, did I type that out loud? I thought I'd introduce you to a Really Good Soap, and now you have found a brush! See? everything is going according to The Grand Plan.

 

tap tap tap..
Neal? Is this line secure? We ought to keep our Enabling Posts separated by a couple regular messages so they don't catch on.
I'll switch off the Super Secret Message Scrambler now. See ya at the next meeting.

Roger, message received and rescrambled per protocol. I was never here. Seriously. Just a figment of @Bama Samurai 's imagination.
