SOS: November 2019

Thanks Doug!

This Frosty Bay Rum soap has a beautiful scent. It’s spicy and clovey, the menthol is not strong enough to disrupt the scent but it’s very detectable while the lather is on your face, and it leaves such a comfortable postshave feeling. The Krampert’s Bay Rum aftershave smells very nice also and it’s so moisturizing. You have to shake the bottle well before you use it.

We have a bit of light snow today but it’s not unbearably cold.

Hmm.
My father had a Fiat Mirafiori and i once had the pleasure of driving a 2000 TC SuperMirafiori (Engine developed and designed by Ferrari staff iirc).

Granted, they would disolve before your eyes if it rained but by Jebus they were fun to drive and went like stink!
The engine was a peach.

 

Weds NOvember 20

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. Up today, my E1 Redtip.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Stirling Mountain Man
Brush - ThatDarnRob
Blade - Gillette Platinum (8)
Razor - Gillette Redtip E1 (1959, Q1)
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Stirling Mountain Man A/S

Shave rating 5 of 5

A really good shave this morning but I don't know why I would have expected less. The razor is great. The blade although getting old, is still doing the job. The lather was excellent. All worked in concert to provide a 2 pass BBS shave. Very happy. The alum was a little vocal on my neck area. The A/S smells nice.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.

Shake Sharp mk1.0/twin Suneco (3) . Combo is so good, really not wanting to shave with anything else.

I'm sure there's a Chinese source but I haven't found it.

Here we called them '131'!
Fiat can make engines! My Astra has a Fiat engine and is a great engine.
But Fiat fails to make what's all around the engine...
When I drove a Thema 2000 I.E. il flew, but everything was shaking in that car!
