SoS June 2020.

•Wilkinson Bonded
•Schick Xtreme can o'foam

2 pass BBS



Found this new (to me) foam at Walgreens yesteday for the reasonable price of $2. Blue one says it has menthol but I couldn't feel it. Can is the size that Barbasol's used to be. It's thick but slightly drier than B'sol, but less airy than Gillette's. Would buy again...on sale...if I had to...I guess...since B'sol shrunk their cans but not the price...

a/s: Skin Bracer. Know the feeling when it's a hot day, the shower was hot, the shave was close, the bathroom is steamy, the house is stuffy, then you slap on some SB? That's how I feel right now.

 

Thanks, Gary

Fine tuesday line up Paul..

 

very cool.nice brush..

 

Thanks Gary....I was going to add Stoylin Frost Drops to the Acqua, but it's such a soft soap as it is that I wonder if the drops would overpower the soap. . The AV should cool me down anyway.

 

Ahh, there it is...Figaro! It was out of stock when I tried to go for it on Amazon. Maybe I'll get it on my next "Super Duper Order"(I already have my first SDO planned).

 

italian barber has it..

 

Thank you, Gary!

 

Ah ok....will keep that well in mind. Thank you.

Thanks, Gary! It was a good one.

 

I’ve always wanted to have American steel in my collection but no dice. I’ve had two Torreys but didn’t like them and ended up selling them. I was sure this Geo W. Korn would be the one. I’ve always heard great things about Little Valley steel. Today was the 4th shave with this Korn and it convinced me this American steel isn’t going to stay either.

And now it's sold out at Italian Barber...grumph. Course it should be back before I'd really need it.

 

It's the kind of thing that ends up at Big Lots, so I plan to keep an eye out there too.
