SoS July 2020.

fine set up Tim..

 

Those are the last razors I used for several years before swapping to traditional wet shaving. I also used the generic store brand versions that were the same. Still have about 5 left in a drawer.

 

My favorite, and still the one I'd go to in an emergency is the Bic Hybrid, excellent razor. But the Schick did give me a nice shave for being in a hurry..................

I've seen those in the stores now, but I'm not sure I ever noticed them when I was using disposables/cartridges. I probably would have tried them.

 

It's the only disposable that would give me an effortless BBS shave. The handle feels good, which helped.

When dialed in, the MW is awesome. Last 3 runs with it have been really nice. Synthetic brush-wrung out, slow hydration, big snotty load = fine yogurt like slick lather

Pic after 2 passes!

C U all tomorrow

Have a great Friday all!

 

Went with who I really am this morning. A gnarled Vet/Contractor. Has everything I am. Leather, Coffee, Rum, Spice.

 

‘Ello, ‘ello, ello, ello! The S.S. here, trying out a new razor, for the first time. Ordered a RazorockS German 37 slant
head, and put it on a W.C.S. 110 Graham handle. New scuttle, blade, and cream as well. Juicily good innit’?

P.S.O. - Shave Secret P.S.O.
Cream - Masters Vanishing Menthol
Brush - Simpson’s Col. X2L
Scuttle - Georgetown Pottery G20
Razor - RazorockS 37 German slant on a W.C.S. 110 Graham handle.
Bade - Astra Superior Platinums
Witch Hazel - T.N.Dickinsons (as always)
After Shave - Gabels Bay Rum

The Shave Secret works well with the Masters, they’re both ‘spicy’.
The Col.X2L is perfect for a one pass shave. It doesn’t eat up your lather, just enough for one pass.
The new scuttle is really nice. It holds more water than the QShave, and it has a pewter top on the stopper.
The 37Slant is the best one pass razor I’ve ever used. On top of the W.C.S. handle, it’s a natural. You get a little
‘pressure’ without having to ‘push down’. The Astra blades were as good as most. What I’ve discovered so far
as far as blades go, for one pass work shaves with my H.D. Slant, the sharper, the better ( think Feathers).
For multipass shaves with my SLOC, the uncoated carbon steel blades are the best (think Treets).
So my experiment with blades continues.
On hot humid days, Bay Rum is my go to. It wasn’t that humid the last two days. This summer I tried the Gabels
Bay Rum. As stated in another post, It is a perfect ‘summer’ B.R., but it makes my face sticky’ in high humidity.
There is no humectants listed on the ingredients list. Just an ominous ‘fragrance’ ingredient. In any case, it’s
too ‘sticky’ for me in high humidity. I’m waiting on some Grand Bay Bay Rum. Next year I’ll try Superior 70.
Along with a glass of Makers Mark, and a Makers Mark infused cigar, perfect for the ‘situation’.

Can smell it through the computer.

 

That's what my wife and daughter think. LOL. Don't tell anyone about the "powerful" thing. We'll keep that a secret. The attractive thing. Well, I have no idea. Due to my lifestyle and living conditions I do get my fair share of flirts, but every time I am suspect of their motivations. Especially when you can see clearly my wedding ring.

 

Anytime you wear the Special Reserve you’re always powerful. And what’s more attractive to women than
power? You’re lucky your wife lets you leave the house with that juice on! It’s like freakin’ catnip.

 

Not only that, I work overseas. She packed it in my bag for me.

 

Wherever you go on this beautiful weekend, make sure that you always remember to bring the happiness of your own sunshine with you, so that you may spread that happiness to all of the people you encounter.

Scales are more than pretty cool, they are very cool.
