Terrific picture, Joseph! Great write up; I had never considered the fact that bowl lathering will naturally incorporate more air, even though it makes perfect sense.

 

Lovely picture, Jim!

 

Beautiful picture, Clint! Have a great day with your mom.

 

Thank you, Jim!

Lather: PAA Et Tu

A two pass DFS this morning with one of my favorite DE razors, the Red Tip. This soap is a dupe of Brut, but not quite as sweet as the current rendition, at least to my nose. A nice dose of the Essence of Man feels great on a Sunday morning. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Wonderful, Jim!

The Occam’s DE is one terrific safety razor. When used with a Feather blade it really can’t be beat! This morning I decided to use one of my preferred shaving soaps, Wholly Kaw King of Oud. The indescribable scent that wafted from the slick, glistening lather whipped up with Jayaruh’s Custom Boar is truly transporting. It brought back my traveling days and the Market in Marrakech. The shave was relaxing, and pleasant with minimal, if any, blade feel, and mimicked my first exposure to this razor - two passes for the face, and one and a half for the dome. I feel clean, smooooth and revitalized this morning.

RAZOR: Occam’s DE
BLADE: Feather
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap
SOAP: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Royall Lyme AS Splash

 

Terrific shave, Jeff! The Occam's DE is an excellent razor. I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it.

Thanks Charlie...a rare warm one here in CRAZYWEATHERchusetts. How are you and Kathy doing?

 

Interesting scent Jim. Bet it smells good .

Seen it on YouTube

 

Was the formula changed over the years do you know?

I'm always late to the party Joe

 

Thank you, Joe. I can't explain it, but some soaps simply create larger bubbles and less of the micro-foam.

 

Thanks, Clint. Same to you!

 

Mos def© Patrick. The most recent reformulation was the downfall of a once terrific soap.

 

Thanks, Charlie. If she still lived with us, I would.
BTW, take look at this, I can get you a great price and it'll include a detailed description.

 

Marvelous shave, Jeff! I never had a bad shave with my Redtip.

 

Thanks, Jimbo. It do indeed.

 

And our first projection of the survey-Brand New In 2020 will not come away with the W here. But he shouldn't be upset as he still has a chance to escape the cellar.

 

Nice shave, Jim. I have always been intrigued by Et Tu.
