WSO is an oldie but goodie. If I remember correctly, WSO doors closed around 4 years ago, as medical issues within the family took priority which is quite understandable.

November 23

Razor - CJB Artist Club (Pain Stick)
Blade -
Soap - Wheat State Barbershop
Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
Post - Alum

It was a cloudy cold day in the Lou. Not bitter cold, just mid-30's cold that lets you know winter is probably mostly here. Although, we'll be back up to 60 tomorrow. Welcome to our world. I decided to pick up another pain stick tonight. I chose the CJB Greager, which is a DX clone. This razor is identical to the original CJB except for the spring that holds the mechanism together. They put a Feather type spring in the Greager to stop the problems of the original design breaking. If you want to try an Artist Club but don't want to spend Feather DX or even Feather SS money, the CJB is a great one. Since it's no-repeat November for me, I also didn't load with a Feather Pro. Already used one of those. I have a few of the Dorco AC blades left so I loaded up one of those. These are not as bad as you might expect. They definitely aren't as sharp as a Feather Pro, nor as smooth, but they work, get the job done, and you just have to toss them earlier than a Feather. Not horrible at all. Wheat State Soaps Barbershop with the big Stirling Synthetic to make the lather. Not a great soap, not a horrible one. I wondered about it since I was using a pain stick but I made it through fine. I don't like the scent as well as others but it definitely got the job done. Three passes and a near-BBS was the reward.

So much for Saturday! Sunday is next and I hope you have a great one. One more week until DECadent December!! Have a great night.
