  2. “prefabulated amulite residue”???
    Are you referring to the PTFE coating or what? I’m truly confused.

    Respectfully,

  8. I wouldn't worry about the nick--at the risk of oversimplifying the situation, let me just say I've found that the geoditic matrices of ferulian steel often fluctuate through a wide array of frangiplastine permutations before settling into a risolomalic singularity more properly adapted to interstecine paring--the amulite residue has probably already transmigroalized into its most patently inert state and is therefore no longer even a factor.

    But, like the rest of us, you probably discerned that for yourself. My apologies. At any rate, fantastic shave, report, and photo, Charlie :)

    *edit* Charlie, not Neal (been a long day that came hard on a sleepless night :happy102:)

  16. Had to get my haircut done today. went with a 40s style military fade ( unintentionally) but turned out pretty good. so decided to do a shave tonight. Ended up using my 40s aristocrat as well. starting to feel like Captain America with all this 40s vibe. really hooping I've got some marvel fans here. :);)
  17. Thank you, Terry!

    Razor - 1918 Gillette Old Type
    Blade - treet-silversmall.jpg (2)
    Soap - Stirling Orange Chill
    Brush - 30DC LE
    Post - Alum

    Yep, you guessed it. I skipped Sunday's shave. Really tough day on the road and I just decided to let it go. No regrets. Switching back to the 1918 Old Type tonight with the Treet Silver carbon blade. It's MENTHOL MONDAY so Stirling Orange Chill fills the bill. With the 30DC LE brush from @jtspartan it was a quick and easy lather that both smells great and "orangey" as well as being nice and chilly! With two days growth and a carbon blade that's been sitting for two days I wondered how this one would go. No problem at all, as it turns out. The Silver, while carbon, seems to have a bit more life in it than some do. I'm confident I can get tomorrow's shave out of it as well.

    Hope you had a great Monday and start to your week! Cold and rainy in the Lou so also hoping you had better weather! Have a fantastic Tuesday!!
