Feather Pro Super (7)​

Chubby 2 Synthetic​

Route 66 Lumberjack​

Fine Platinum​

I have enjoyed this lineup for the week everything just clicked and worked well together. I like the scent of lumberjack. The fruity top notes over a woody base seem to change just a little with each use. I decided to take my time and enjoy a relaxed Saturday morning 3 pass shave. After minimal touch ups on the neck I managed to catch the baby. Better yet no irritation, nicks or weepers. I finished off with a splash of Fine Platinum. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

Wonderful black and white photo, Clint. Very nice composition, and the reflection is terrific!

 

Thank you Jim, @Norcalnewb

 

Razor: Trac II
Blade: Col. Conk Trac II (1)
Brush: Brass handle w/ Black Badger?
Soap: Captain's Choice Sandalwood
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Sandalwood

Now for something completely different. Picked up this razor and brush in a wooden box for $13.00. I don't know anything about them, but if I buy it I use it. The handle on the brush is very heavy and I believe it is brass. The knot is floppy and prickle. I believe it is a black badger. I did end up with a good shave.

 

It's a nice looking set, Doug!

 

Congrats on a great looking haul.

 

Thank Jim.

 

March 11 SOTD:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
Penhaligon's Bayolea SS
British Aristocrat #66
Penhaligon's Bayolea Soothing Gel

I was looking forward to this shave all evening and night. This razor came in last night (yes I am out of NB17), and I couldn't wait to use it. It didn't disappoint. It was a terrific 3 pass shave for a BBS. It was very smooth and comfortable. The razor definitely has some heft to it, and the TOBS mechanism works so smoothly. It was just a terrific shave. I am really liking the Penhaligon's Bayolea shave soap, which delivered a great lather. The matching soothing gel is also pretty nice and has me smelling great. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Thanks Clint. Hope you get out for a ride today.

 

Great looking razor and box Jim.

 

Thank you, Doug!

 

Great looking razor. I think it was worth dropping your NB17.

 

I was thinking that the washer would qualify as a cap that could be ridden to success.

Thanks Keith. How are thing in SK with the presidential mess up? I used to use SK Fiber golf shafts. They where very well made. I still have some.

 

Friday

10 days in and I'm starting on my third razor of the four I plan to use this month. I'm finding I need variety and get bored using one razor for more than a few days in a row.

 

Saturday

Of the three razors Ive tried this month, the Gem Clog-Pruf is by far my favorite. The other two (OCMM, C1) are not nearly as mild mannered as this guy.....

 

Thank you, Clint! So far, I am glad I dropped the NB17. I am not sure my wife is thrilled about it, but she tolerates my little obsession...er hobby.

 

Roger, that is a nice looking CP. Sounds like it shaves well. Would you recommend one?
