Great Titanic/3017 shave this morning. I like how someone described the bottom hole getting larger-what better way to describe that the end of the tunnel is near. That's what I'm seeing, too. I'll see where I am at the next Throwback Thursday with the small Simpsons puck. Today's result was about the same as yesterdays. Only troubled area was I didn't get much off North Cactus. I may have to return to a "South to North" direction with my razor up there too complete the job. All other areas came out great. 2 passes. Goose eggs on the cuts, Knicks, polka-dots persuasion. The Clubman A.S. was a fine finish. So glad I discovered Monsieur Pinaud's masterpiece back when I was beginning to shave. Another As Outstanding As It Gets.
You don't want this juice, Jason. It's horrible. @Primotenore shared a sample with me. I'll volunteer to take the rest of it off his hands for proper disposal. We wouldn't dare export this stuff across the border. Full disclosure from a non fraghead....this juice smells GREAT.
I'm finding that the closer you are to the end, the shaves somehow get better(I'm probably the last one to discover this, though).
You too, Charlie....just to clarify, I meant when you get closer to the end of the puck, not the shave itself. Someone sent me a sampler of Midnight Stag. I might do a "hand-lather" of it(reach into it with my finger and rub it on each cheek and let the brush do the work). I will indeed be at Acton Piggly today-let's see who notices the Clubman(but more importantly COMPLIMENTS me for it. I never get verbal comments.)
I'm going to use a shaving brush and administer the MS to my face and neck-can't say it will be 37 times, though.
Saturday, February 11 Day Ten T+S Kyoto~~CH2 Synthetic~~Gillette NEW OC/Gillette Silver Blue~~Vintage Dior Fahrenheit EdT Like @Paul Turner just mentioned, the lather actually does improve with usage. Is it the user, or is it Deus Ex Machina My lather was outstanding and subsequently, my shave was too. Stank du jour was an 80's powerhouse.
Yup. Common on GSBs…PermaSharps are often worse. They don’t seem to bother me the way they do you, Maestro.
Good plan, Paul. A gal sitting next to me scrunched up her nose and give me the look once awhile back. I think (hope) it was just due to a poor aftershave choice.
It takes forever for me to use a bottle of cologne, but I'd definitely consider adding Eau Suavage at some point. Besides, it's more appropriate than wearing Stetson when attending the Opera.
