Is't that is way we are all here? To learn from one another by sharing what works and what don't. Other words "Thanks guys. My pleasure."
OCtober 5/6th Travel SOTDs Gillette NEW LC w Astra (1,2) TOBS Sandalwood Cream Omega Boar Travel Brush Thayers Stirling Gentleman Balm Day 5 of the OC focus, days 1&2 with the NEW. This has been my travel set up for the past few days. A couple of nice hotel shaves, but I did open up quite a weeper yesterday. Not sure how. It survived the Witch Hazel, and I didn't bring a Splash, so I ended up walking around the room for a bit with a piece of toilet paper stuck to my face. Maybe I'll put the styptic in the bag for next time; but it rarely gets used any more. Have a great day all!
SOTN OCtober 5th Razor: FaTip Piccolo Blade: Tian Li Super Blue (2) Brush: Ever-Ready H40 Soap: The Blades Grim "Cinder" AS: Fine "Platinum" I guess I was being overly optimistic after the first shave on the TianLi blades because the second shave on this blade was not pleasant. It was still tuggy, even more so then the first. Focusing on angle and pressure allowed me to finish the shave without incident or irritation, even though the shave itself was uncomfortable. After 3 passes I was left with a DFS and there was no sting from the AS, I guess this might be a true case of TTT. I want to give the Piccolo another shot with a better blade to see what it can do, but I have an inclination that a two pass BBS would not be out of the question with this razor. Have a great weekend my friends! And TGIF!!
Gotta love the New, and with the Delta Echo treatment, Stunning! Fantastic photo, Clint! Great lineup, Dale! Perry, on the plus side you don't need a dedicated air freshener! Great setup Brian, with another awesome straight! Thank for the info, I may have to play arround the next time a Valet falls into my hands. I absolutely love the New's ! Second favorite behind the MonoBilts!
Jason, that's a great travel set up. It's hard to beat a NEW LC paired with the Astra, an Omega boar brush, and TOBS Sandalwood. Have safe travels.
Andrew, your son is handsome, and he is growing up quickly. I always enjoy seeing his photos in your posts. Thank you for including them. I'm following your shaves with the FaTip with great interest. Drop in a good blade and let's see what she can do.
Sometimes delusions of grandeur can obscure our better judgement! Thank you, Charlie! Be on the lookout for my next shave!
Thank you, Keith! Thanks Jason! He is a bright spot in our lives for sure! Really put into perspective what the important things in life really are!
