Thanks Gary...I'm about ready to call Hub City Soap Co, a Bill Neumann ripoff. Why. The soaps cost about the same, but a Hub City aftershave is $11 less than that of a Bill Neumann-and both claim to be "skin food" products.
DecemBOAR! Focus -- Thursday Morning Edition Razor: Gillette "Old" type Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux Brush: Zenith 506U XSE Soap: Martin de Candre - Original A/S: @Jayaruh GrandDad's Blend Two efficient passes with no touch ups needed at all this morning.
Aaaah, probably nothing. I haven't yet done any reviews for Bill Neumann, and I have 3 products from BN. I "MIGHT" drop a little hint about their aftershaves being too expensive, but that will depend on how much of a nice man I am . I should clarify a little of what I earlier said...the 4 oz. soaps from both companies cost the same, but if you go for th 1/2 lb. soap, it's $28(Bill Neumann). Hub City doesn't have the 1/2 lb. soaps.
Dec 29 SOTE Good evening. Shavette Shave # 419 Dovo Personna Hairshaper Blade (#20) MrEE Tuxedo Brush Stirling Frankincense and Myrrh SS and AS Stirling Alum Block Beard Growth: 24 hrs Wow! I reached 20 shaves on a Personna Hairshaper Blade to attain my personal best. That comes out to 5 cents a shave and that's very economical in my book. I could have pushed it for another shave or two, but I don't need to be so frugal that I cut myself so I banked the blade. I will load a fresh blade when I use this razor again. I did a 2 pass shave without any errors for a near BBS shave. The alum feedback was zero so it definitely was a close, and comfortable shave. Double-splashed the aftershave and I feel refreshed. Take care.
Last two shaves. Tatara Masamune with solid bar plate. Feather blade. Yaqi two band badger brush. Fine Accoutrements Fresh Vetiver shave soap. Timeless Razor shave bowl. Stetson aftershave splash. Hard to beat the Masamune and Fine soap. Hope everyone is doing great!
