SOS: February 2019

Well, the new Charcoal Goods Copper Magnum is no longer a shiny penny...while I'm pretty sure the effects are easily reversed with Nevr-Dull or Brasso, not sure I want to have to maintain a like new appearance, but I digress, today's shave.

Decided to use the German wares today with my Ghost Town Barber. Very nice!

 

I was wondering when I would see this one. What is it like?

 

Awesome pic!

I'm curious to hear how it is as well.

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Musgo Real Classic
Blade: Croma Diamat
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
Soap: Murphy & McNeil- Claddagh
Post: Opium Fragrance Oil


Managed a BBS shave this evening. First time with the Duck Fat base from Murphy & McNeil and things went fairly well.

Scent of Claddagh is very complex and so far is the most original scent from this artisan i have come across. Its hard to describe but to my nose it smells like a fancy purfume, although not floral, i could see this scent being one women may gravitate twards. Paired well with Opium Oil which i bought then realized it is technically a womens fragrance...dohhh.. but it smells good enough to be worn by either men or women.

Performance is very good. Have not used their tallow formula enough times for critical analasis. Did notice this formula does not seem to be able to handle crazy amounts of water quite like the beef tallow, although it did absorb what water i threw at it. during the final pass it did get a bit runny but the shave went well aside from some redness on neckline. This shave did have a super close BBS finish and overall it was a refreshing experience.

Hope y'all had a similar or better experience!

February Favorites

February 25

Razor - Gillette New SC Deluxe
Blade -
Soap - Stirling Black Ice
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post - Alum

Couldn't resist. One more round for Matthew the formerly haunted, now shiny and happy razor. I went back to Stirling with the Black Ice. It's like having candy for a treat. Smells like the room is full of black licorice, a personal favorite of mine, and it produces the usual Stirling lather. Three passes with the Sharpstar in the New SC and I'm as smooth as a baby's butt and settled in behind the computer for the night. Busy day but got lots done. Tomorrow I have some delivery work to do and then just down time after that. Should be a good way to "end" my week before Wednesday. Have a great day tomorrow!
