Tuesday, January 10 La Savonnière du Moulin~~Simpson D3~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Spoiler~~Burt's Bees Bay Rum Day One This soap was wildly popular when it first made the scene. I resisted for quite a few years, but clearly relented. Fresh, clean scent and slickness-abounding. Last shave with the Spoiler. The '47 SS is a Desert-Isle razor.
Wednesday, January 11 Day Two La Savonnière du Moulin~~Simpson Milk Churn~~Cobra Classic/Feather Professional Super~~West Indies Bay Rum You just have to look at this lather, to know that this 3017 will not be a repeat of the Arko. This brush is for you, @jtspartan If you were my son, I would consider bequeathing it to you. To our friend @clint64 it's great seeing you around. I briefly considered boxing up all of my soaps, just to get them out of sight. Still might This Bay Rum was an Ebay find. $4.99 + shipping. Smells like a weakened Dominica. Last shave with the Feather blade. I want to try another AC blade, suggestions? This is the new "hot" thread.
Day 8 of the GLSq 3017 Looks like my friend @Primotenore and I both went with Milk Churns today as well. His is the original, mine the homage to that beaut.
Joseph, as you know I will be on the market for a Bay Rum A.S. before long. It'll be either another Stephan or the W.I.(West Indies).
good morning gents another fine fat work shave in the books personna 74 completed it's 9th outing just fine. a little warmth noted when the splash was applied. maybe me or a slight wearing of the blade,we'll see next shave proraso green always excellent awesome have a fantastic day everyone.
I am unfamiliar with the Stephan, but I am fairly confident, this West Indies is no longer available. IMO, the best bang for the buck are the Ogallala Bay Rums.
That's a shame about WI. I'll chrck the Ogallala's. Too much clove in their Bay Rum, I seem to recall.
Day 9 I’m starting to become mildly ‘nose blind’ to the splash, methinks. Must resist the urge to up the dosage…
Thursday, January 12 Day Three La Savonnière du Moulin~~Simpson M7~~Barbasol Floating Head/Gillette 7 O'Clock Black~~Frederic Malle The Night Whoda thunk a 3017 could be so much fun Not Primo But...It is!** Poor Charlie's still 3017'ing Arko. Not I. **Grammar corrected.*** *** Corrected again!!!
Great shave and kudos on the corrected grammer! Yes siree Joseph...er...Bob, I completed Arko shave # 35 today. Speaking of grammers, my stick weighs 44 of 'em. I'm somewhere around halfway through it. I estimate between 70 and 90 two-pass shaves on the stick, depending on how often I also use it for evening face washes before hitting the sack.
I’m not sure if you’re serious actually, Charlie. Using Arko away from shaving for its scent and skin feel? Yeesh.
I sometimes do this with whatever shave soap I'm using, Jason. I don't notice the scent afterward. I also follow up with a moisturizer like USB.
Joseph I have some artist club size Schick Proline blades. If you would like a few just send me a pm.
