Happy Friday gentlemen. It is back to the old routine, at least for one day this week, of being in class physically. I decided to go with the wonderful Cella. SWMBO provided unsolicited approval which is always an added bonus. The three pass shave was close and comfortable. The presence of a silent alum report confirms the quality of the shave as well as my growing skills with the straight razor. I will contend that no matter how long you shave with a straight there is room for improvement whether it being further attention to details, becoming more proficient using your less dominant hand or changing the angle of the blade to better shave your troubled areas. This is makes the entire process so much more enjoyable. Not to mention the alone time in the den without any extraneous distractions.

Enough of that, more importantly it is the weekly avatar change day. Another week, although a weird one, in the books. Have a great day gentlemen.

Razor: Gillette Psycho Tech
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Rubberset 400 Cashmere
Soap: Ethos-x-DFS Colonia
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos-x-DFS Colonia
Fragrance:

So I lied to you yesterday. I saw the weather not match the forecast and decided to go to work yesterday and get today off instead. The back is sore but I just thought (Suck it up Buttercup) work thru it. So let's get to the shave. Had the Psycho Tech laying out for a mild shave thinking I would be getting up at 4 am which I didn't (slept till 5:30) but stuck with the planned outfit. That brings me to the blade. I have had people send me loose blades as extras at times and sometimes I use them and sometimes they get set aside as I tend to stick with the Wizamets after trying so many over the years. I reached for this loose one in a wrapper with no labeling or printing on the blade and thought I had a KAI. I know Jeff @jgreenepa is thinking to himself if you compare the width you'll know the KAI because they are wider. Hold that thought. As I go to load it I realize it has printing that is an outline print and hard to see on just one side and assume( Bad move) it's an Astra SS. Tried one once before and didn't care for it as much as the SP and didn't really like those as much as everyone else does. I proceeded with the shave and got a great smooth shave and thought maybe I sold these short before or maybe the issue was longevity. I'll try this blade some more and see if it has legs. So now I start to write up my shave and I type the blade as an Astra SP......................then I pause and think, no that was an SS wasn't it. Go back to bathroom and check and it's an SP................That's funny, so I pull a current SP from a tuck and compare. From the tuck it has different printing and on both sides instead of just 1. I then do some comparing and find all 3, the single print Astra SP, both side Astra SP and the KAI are all the same width. WHAT ?!?!?! I thought these KAI blades were wider and that's why people use them to step up a mild razor ? And what's the difference in the 2 Astra SP blades ? Somebody teach me something. Pictures and comparing side by side doesn't lie........

So for the shave I had set out my Ethos/DFS Set to use again. 1st use had me thinking of ARKO due to the "TO ME" predominant Lemon forward smell. I kept reading everyone rave about the scent and so thought, hmmmm, must be my nose. Unfortunately its the only one I have I would take a sniff every time I'd be in the bathroom and it was growing on me. I still get a lot of lemon but also I started to sense the other citrus mixed in it some. So I was coming around to it and had a great shave with it today because we all know it is a great base. This one seems a little firmer too which is a win in my book. It isn't my favorite out of the many Ethos scents but a great soap especially for warmer weather as it is so bright and fresh. Topped off with the Skin Food Splash and haven't picked out a Frag yet but am doing things around the house and will get to it when I do. Heading for some coffee and forum perusing while I have the news playing in the background. Have a stupendous day everyone!

Now you've got me thinking, Dave... I THINK mine (2 100 packs)are all the 'solid writing' ones, but I will double check tonight. I'm a fan of them. Can't help you with the KAIs.
Love the Psycho Tech key, very cool. Is it one of the originals? I see Razor Emporium makes them now, as apparently there are lots of the razors around without the keys.

March 18 SOTN

Good evening guys!

Straight shave #251
7/8 F Herder Ace of Spades Full Hollow Sq Pt
Stirling Boar Brush
Stirling Glastonbury SS and AS
Dickenson's WH
Nivea ASB
Whiskers: 37.5 hrs

I decided with all the talk about Ace of Spades straights, that I bring mine out to play. Everything worked well with the shave except a weeper on my neck appeared. During the first pass, the razor got me with a nice, little nip. I believe it was due to a combo of not stretching the neck properly and the edge being slightly tuggy. The blade is sharp, but it isn't as smooth as it once was when I first got it about a year and a half ago. I may have 30 shaves on it, but I am not sure, I have to remind myself to touch it up on the Crox. It will be the first time that I will refresh this blade. I will set it aside to dry and refresh it tomorrow. Did get a BBS - shave on 2 passes so the edge is not yet smoked. Lately, I have been doing 2 passes instead of the extra half pass and I find that it is sufficient for me. I will go back to 2.5 passes, but it really isn't necessary for me to do so. Finished with my normal post shave routine. There was hardly any burn or stinging from the aftershave. It will be a no shave tomorrow. I will do another straight shave Saturday, but I haven't decided which straight to use. I am leaning to one of my vintage razors. It's either my 5/8 Sq Pt Full Hollow Wosty or Engel. I have until Sat morning to decide. Lol! Have a great night guys! View attachment 247843

Good morning gentlemen. I hope that you, and yours, are all well and in good spirits.
It's been another busy few weeks, so I haven't been here as often as I should have.
I've been keeping up with the shaves. The mighty MMOC (OCMM) has been my main 'weapon' of choice. I have dipped in and out of occasional DE (Fatip Grande and Muhle R41) use - to compare the two. My soap (Arko) and splash (Proraso Green) have been unchanged in an attempt to make it as fair as possible. I have come to the conclusion that, for me and my skin, the quality of shave and post shave feel of a Stainless Steel GEM blade, in my MMOC, is unmatched.
Last night, I experimented with a two pass (XTG > ATG) shave and got some truly outstanding results with a blade that was on its fourth shave. My stock of PTFE GEM blades is running low, so I will be ordering some more and continuing to use this wonderful razor (almost) exclusively.
Enjoy your shaves!

Hi all....
Everyone here is feeling better and I'm signed up for the covid stick when my doc gets the Johnson and Johnson brew in.
It appears to have the least side effects so the doctor recommends that for me, so I'm hopping I'll survive it.
Would suck to get through all this with no issues, just to be taken out by the very thing that's supposed to save you.
But that would be my luck.

Got a great shave this morning.
Head and face nice and clean.

View attachment 247852
A chilly start today 35°F, but its supposed to get warmer by noon.
I need a little warm sunshine in my life for a while.

A long day at work is planned, but things are getting back to normal.
At least as normal as they were in 2019BC (Before Covid).

Everyone!
Enjoy!

March Focus

Czech & Speake No.88~~Simpson PL8~~Heljestrand MK32~~YSL M7 Oud Absolu
The C&S No.88 is probably the most unusual scented soap in my den---and
anything I have ever used before. There is nothing else like it.
Add that to the fact that it is a Valobra-made soap, you have a top-notch product,
sadly discontinued, and from what I have been reading, the re-launch formula
looks not very promising.
The Polo feels great in the hand and the knot feels sublime on the face.
The edge of the Swedish Heljestand could probably use a refreshing.
I got a great shave, but perhaps had to work a bit too hard to achieve it.
Sticking with Oud and today's FOTD® could be called a flanker of
yesterday's YSL M7 (2002).

Flankers, most of the time, contain similar DNA to their originals, but in the case of
YSL Oud Absolu, I would go so far as to say that this juice is a close copy of the vaunted M7.
They are that similar.

SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 19, 2021

Today’s shave featured my R. Saito SK3 7/8 and the silver plated Valet Autostrop Model VB2. Unlike many in this hobby, I don’t own all that many brushes. In fact the only makers of whom I own more than one brush are TSD’s @Jayaruh and @MrEE. I no longer own any horsehair brushes, and of late am beginning to move from my preferred boars to synthetics which have improved remarkably in recent years. The little low end Rooney badger brush used in today’s shave is one of only two badgers that I use regularly. It possesses awesome backbone and just enough scritch for the kind of face lathering I enjoy. The three pass mug shave itself was uneventfully great! The little R. Saito with its smiling silver steel blade holds a great edge and seems perfectly designed for those hollows and crevices under the jaw. This morning it effortlessly whisked away my mug stubble. The following two pass ATG dome shave was excellent as well. The Valet Autostrop VB2, while not quite as good as my preferred VC4 with its safety bar, still delivered a noggin shave that put the baby to bed. I feel clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: R. Saito SK3 7/8 (Mug), Valet Autostrop Model VB2
BLADE: Feather FAS-10
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Pure Badger
CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Royall Lyme AS/Cologne.

This morning, I completed the "back nine" of my Central Texas Soaps' Weekend-Rodeo stint. 0:25 to load the Stoylin Pro-Handle(26 mm)brush. I made sure to "redo" the left cheek area in some areas(this is the first place I put the soap, thus the most wet, so it needs the "re-doing"). Everywhere else was fine. Light redness at NW Porcupine. No damage done, with the aftershave and cold-water rinse. Good solid administering of said aftershave, all around. Good work down at Cactus. I suppose I need to work a little more at the area right next to the ingrown hairs at NW Cactus, or else more hairs would be added to the "ingrown" population. Quite pleased at the end. This one gets an Outta This World Excellent.

Happy Friday Everyone. A Fat Friday shave was just the ticket this morning. I am not sure the shower and shave diminished the vaccine side effects but they certainly improved my outlook on the day ahead. The Paladin loaded and lathered the Fat with ease. Three passes ended in a near BBS which is more than good enough for the day. A splash of Grand Bay Rum aftershave had me almost feeling human again. I hope everyone has a Fantastic Friday.

Got up a little later than usual today and must have been a little sleepy as I had way too much water in the brush when I went to the puck. As @Bama Samurai would say, 'more foam than on a disco floor' with the big Omega. Took me a while to get it under control, but was still rewarded with a very good lather in a fave scent.
3 smooth passes with a stroke or two of touch up has me just short of perfect. I'd have had to buff away ATG on my lower neck to get glass-like this morning and I had no desire to do so. Hadn't pulled out the Bon Vivant in quite some time. Great juice.
TGIF and have a great day all!

Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to bloom this soap. I know the CK-6 formula can handle being bloomed but I guess the regular can't. It’s a little yogurt-y
I’ll try to dry it out some by letting it sit out. I don’t wanna burn through this soap quickly. I thought tobs tobacco leaf was my favorite scented artisan soap but this one has it beat by a long shot, this needs to last in my collection.
