March 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

Thanks Daniel! I just wish Fine Accoutrements would strengthen their scents.

 

just curious..has anyone cut a puck in half or grated one to see if the scent is present under the outer layers?

 

I never did, but my Platinum aftershave is so light that I think it's Fine's MO to keep everything mildly scented. Therefore, I think your suggestion probably wouldn't make a difference. I would think a soapmaked would want the scent more pronounced so a customer would easily enjoy it insead of going through hurdles to do so.

 

fair enough.i do remember the soap's scents being stronger when first purchased,though that was nearly 4 years ago.

 

Thanks, I appreciate it!

 

Let's hope they will do that in the future!

 

They better because the new formula is 24 dollars for a 4 oz puck.

 

back to work for a couple of days..

Nice workman's shave Gary!

 

Today is a no shave day.

 

Karve with C plate
Voskhod blade

Mitchell’s Wool Fat soap.
Timeless shave bowl
Cremo Bourbon and Oak EdT

Awesome Fat Friday shave.

Take care everyone!

 

Closed out the Barabasol/Bill Neumann today(until next time, that is). I took the advice from the gentleman's post yesterday,(I'll keep his name, @JACarbone , private) who said that with the extra Barbasol, I should focus more one the area I skimmed over(NW Porcupine Alley). Looks better. But another fine shave-tried my best to cover all the bases. Did a better job with the sideburn areas. Good at the cheeks. Success again at Cactus Nation. When used "just right", this Bill Neumann A.S. is a winner. Great skin-food product. No Cuts, Knicks, or Polka-dots. Outta This World Excellent.

Excellent Fougere shave this morning. I decided to go with the Gillette British Slim TQT, inspired by Barry, @palmolive fox, wonderful shave he presented yesterday. It is a mild razor that delivers a very close shave.

I did my usual three passes without an incident. The alum report was extremely silent
Which is probably a testament to the mildness of the razor. Finished of the shave with a couple of spritzes of the CL EdT which has me smelling great just in time to take my mother shopping.

Have a great day gentlemen.

 

thank you Joe..was a fine shave this morning.

 

cool shave Joe..

 

awesome Paul.

 

Thanks Gary.....I've been doing real well with "sophisticated goo" of late, but I have a lot of work ahead of me to reduce my shave soap jars.

 

very cool,one day at a time..

 

Not sure I want to have an argument with Doc Brocha.

 

Awwwright......there's an example of where Bill Neumann is a better deal for small-sized soaps...Bill wants $18 for his 4 oz soaps.
