Thank you. I made it from cocobolo wood, and it is just a polycrylic finish.

Fatboy February!!!!!

Playing with the new brush and soap

February 20
Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (6)
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Barbershop
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post - Alum

Taking the new brush for another spin tonight and trying my third Stirling sample. Barbershop this time and this scent is pretty nice. It really does remind me of days in Darryl's Barbershop in good old Hugoton, Kansas. There were two shops in town. Darryl's and Harold's. Darryl was the young guy and my Dad liked him, so, he was my barber as a boy. Harold was already probably in his 50's at the time (so naturally I thought he was ancient). A bit more conservative and less talkative. I'd ride my bike down to Darryl's with the money in my pocket for the haircut. Go in, sit down, wait your turn while you listened to all the men talk and have a good time. Sometimes a friend would show up so we could read comic books together and talk about bikes, fishing, the usual stuff back then.

The tonic Darryl put on my hair after the cut was very much a part of how this soap smells. Also the Barbicide. Of course, back then it was just the funny blue stuff. And finally, I picked up the baby powder from that big floppy brush he'd hit me with afterwards. Good times, good memories, good scent.

Now, onto the brush. Can't fault the handle at all. Beautiful work. Solid. Perfect. The Maggard Synthetic knot - I'm still getting used to it but it is an amazing thing, really. Seems to need much less soap to produce a quality face lather. In fact, when I loaded it I thought it was very light. Not enough for even two passes. Not only was it enough, but I got the third pass as well and squeezed out enough for a fourth if I wanted. Dry brush on a little water on the soap - how in the world does it lather like that?! It doesn't really splay 99% of the time but still produces a great lather. Slick, rich, and in three passes with a brand new Sharp Star in the Fatboy the baby showed up and said hello just to mock me for my doubt in this knot.

I'm still not sure about it but I'm getting there. Awesome shave tonight. And, I finally get a day off tomorrow after a very successful weekend sale!

 

That is a really cool photo mosaic. I haven't seen someone do that here before. I was thinking of trying something like that with shave of the day pictures. What program did you use?

I like the photo and the idea of the razor looking in the mirror. A reflection into a reflection. Nice

You are lucky. That bowl is really stunning.

Thank you! I used an app called Photo Mosaica. I honestly don't know if there is a current version out there now or not, as I have had it for a while.

 

Nice picture. I like the depth of field.
