Thanks Gary. Initially I thought the bowl was too big....but it is easy to hold and I can use even short handled brushes without banging them against the sides.

 

cool shave and pic Ron..

 

very cool,i like my captain's choice bowl for those very reasons..

 

Thank you, Gary!

 

They're completely different scents. Stirling BoS is a cologne dupe of Hanae Mori. The Jeeves BoS is also a dupe but can't recall of what. The Jeeves is a heavier and stronger scent than the Stirling.

 

thursday shave
canadian prewar tech with rare handle
platinum
canadian rubberset boar
the handsome grouse mint soap
canadian gaylord shave mug
canadian aqua velva sport

 

Especially love the rooftop shots.

 

thank you Jim..

 

Here is the Throwback Thursday plan:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Max. Moisture)in shower
shave-Burma Shave Cakesoap(in mug*)
brush-Stoylin "li'l brudder" synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Aqua Velva Musk(A.S.&Cologne)**

* I don't have a year for when this classic shave item opened, but I'm sure it was a long time ago. And just now I found out the year....1925...a throwback of 95 years.
**Without the original Aqua Velva, there wouldn't be AV Musk. Name was introduced in 1917, but when it converted to an aftershave is uncertain(1929 or 1935). Still, ages ago.

 

cool thursday shave Paul..

 

Thanks Gary....I'm still looking into the mug/bowl situation for the soap.

 

i am sure you will find something sir..

 

Right.....it's worth a search.

 

That's the issue I have to the Stoylin one....can't appreciate the scent..it's a little "bland" to me. . Other than that, it does the usual Stoylin job.
