I haven't tried it either. The AS cold seems to sneak up on me a bit. I have a Stirling Glacial AS and of course some of the Rubby Dubby, and both of these seem to smack you with the cold. This one goes on smooth and easy, but a few minutes later, my eyes are watering and my face is freezing. It is the coldest AS I have. I love it.
Psst... Where do you find these photos... for ahh, research purposes. Yeah, that's the ticket. Tapatalk Via Kyocera
Doug I have truly enjoyed viewing your winter photos this month. You have a wonderful collection of vintage razors. Your assessment of Route 66 soaps is spot on. Every soap I've tried just flat worked. Thank you for bringing Route 66 to my attention. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I might save one or three. If the Ex-SWMBO should get curious about my current Lady Friend I'll have something interesting to send.
Day 3 with Omega silver tip. It is back to work after a 4 day weekend , completing today's shave is C&C and Mastro Livi Grifetto. The scales were rubbing the blade so I touched it up. This knot is very soft and good way to ease myself back into the work week. 4 passes and no blood and no irritation. The bade was smooth and sharp but not as smooth or as sharp as when I first received it. Irritation A+ Closeness A- Smoothness A Sharpness A
This weekend I did another shave with the Staley head I got from @mrchick. The big handle doesn't work, so I haven't used it. I borrowed this handle from my Mongoose. Between the Barbasol floating head and this one, this one is smoother while shaving, and both shaves had no feedback from the alum. (The Barbasol was a longer lasting shave, and almost as smooth.) I like this razor enough that I ordered a handle for it. Today's shave was a start on next month's focus. I have six different soap samples right now, not including the 10 Stirling samples I got for Christmas. I plan on using each of the non Stirling ones until they are gone. I started with Soap Commander Inspiration. It is supposed to be A citrus scent, but this sample didn't seem to have a scent. Performance was great though. This razor was on my list to keep or get rid of. Today's shave was a CCS, but I need to touch up the edge before I make my final call. I don't think this one is going to make the cut, but we will see.
