OCtober with the FAT

October 30

Razor -1918 Gillette Old Type
Blade - (1)
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush -30DC Meet-Up LE
Post - Alum

Two shaves remaining in OCtober so let's get tonight's out of the way. Going to finish the month with the oldest open comb I have, the 1918 Gillette Old Type. What a great little beast this razor is. Adding a fresh Sharp Star to get the sharpest possible edge on an aggressive little razor. It's also the final MWF shave of the month. I'll weigh the puck tomorrow morning to allow the excess moisture to evaporate and get a monthly total use of the MItchell's. For the brush...the 30DC Meet-Up brush from Canada featuring the SynBad bulb knot.

Lather was overabundant and overly slick. Great stuff. No issues at all there and the razor was as smooth as ever. I held the angle on the cap and just let it rip. No blood or other problems in three passes and no irritation from the alum either. Fantastic result from a very nice setup. Gotta love it as we wrap up the month.

Tomorrow I'll stick with the hardware and bring in a Stirling mutton tallow to wrap up OCtober!! One more day so let's keep it going with all the great shaves and discussions around here. Thanks again for all you guys to do keep this place moving! Have a great Thursday!! And Happy Halloween!

PiacenzDay Wednesday

The day I celebrate mid week by using the soap all others aspire to be like when they grow up, Stirling Piacenza.

Another shave with the Injectors still wrangling away.

But first, the Stirling Tuxedo kicked in the warp drive to puff the Stirling Piacenza suds up to spume factor 9.

The Schick I1 was back in form with its trusty Chick armament.

The Supply spiffy young buck went straight for the Japanese steel, the Schick Proline.

In the end, it was a draw. With slight adjustments, each can deliver a totally rewarding shave.

For my preference, I'm going with the Supply loaded with a Proline. A lighter more delicate touch is all that is needed. I like it. I also like that the razor disassembles for easy cleaning. The I1 can get schmutzified pretty easily.

Finished up with the Piacenza AS & EdT and went about my day.

I'll be anxious to see what the new Supply blades will be like. Did I say that you can beat a price increase on the Supply hardware before Nov 1st.

 

awesome..

 

Thank you. It’s that time of the year.
