February 18, 2023 Blackland Tradere OC Feather Semogue Mistura Taj Mitchell’s Wool Fat Barberry Coast Havana Aftershave This week was a rough one. I came down with some sort of stomach bug. I did take a break from the 3017 to have one shave with a PIF of Ethos Bay Rum sent by @Primotenore. I really liked the soap and the scent was superb. Now back to the 3017 of my MWF. By weight I about 25% of the way through the tub. I guess it's better to look at how far you've come than to look at how far you have left to go. Otherwise another automatic shave. Happy Saturday folks.
It's good to see you posting, Clint. I'm glad you're on the mend. It seems that you've recently hit a rough patch between health issues and work. I hope 2023 brings you some relief, my friend. It's about time to get the motorcycle out for some fun. And oh yeah, don't forget to buy more watches.
Thank you Charlie. I had Covid in January 2022 that left me with some long lasting side effects. I’m hopeful that 2023 will be a better year. Asha has about a year or so left on her PhD. Maya will be starting her Masters at UGA in the fall. We still have a chance of making her a Dawg fan yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My first official 3017 candidate could be the aftershave I'm now grandfathering-Weekend Rodeo from now defunct Central Texas Soaps.
February 19, 2023 Charcoal Good Everyday Razor Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow Paladin Mitchell’s Wool Fat Proraso Sandalwood AS I am on a roll with back to back shaves. I decided to pull out the CG Everyday razor and give it a go. To me it feels very similar to the Feather AS-D2. A fantastic shave to start the day. I am off to visit my mom and take her to lunch. Have a nice day everyone.
The story on this survey isn't that For The Challenge leads...............it is that the other 4 are tied for second. Something has to break sometime(HAAAAH, long lung hreath).
Keeping the 3017 focus going. I don’t have MWF, but in support of @clint64 and @Primotenore 3017ing theirs, I will Titanic the nearest thing I have - a 3x puck of Haslinger Schafmilch.
Sunday, February 19 Day One MWF~~Vie-Long Beehive~~Feather AS-D2/Polsilver SI~~Vintage Aqua Velva And, we're off! This is not my first rodeo 3017'ing a puck of MWF, but it'll take some serious dedication. Primo's up for the challenge. BTW, check out my just-acquired Vie-Long. Sweeeeeet. BBS in three.
February 20, 2023 Charcoal Good Everyday Razor Gillette 7 O’clock Yellow Paladin Mitchell’s Wool Fat Barberry Coast Havana Aftershave Wow! Three shaves in a row. I don't think I did that for most all of 2022. The MWF really works much better for me when I use it daily. Overall another excellent shave. Off to fight the commute to work. Have a great day everyone.
Monday, February 20 Day Two MWF~~Vie-Long~~1941 Gillette Ranger Tech/Polsilver SI~~Tom Ford Tuscan Leather Vie-Long's Silvertip Badger has very fine hair, making for a super-soft face-feel. At the expense of some backbone. So, if you want a brush that really "digs" into the soap, this isn't it. Still, got plenty of product in the knot and created a really great, and typical, MWF lather. The Ranger Tech has a small gap and only a modicum of blade-feel, but in the right hands, will shave any stubble. Finished with a stupendous stank.
Well, as predicted in the Shave Desription thread, I made my first Titanic move just now-chucked the Central Texas Soaps* Week-end Rodeo, as I felt it came on too strong for the skin-food strength of Hub City Soaps,. That closes the books for me on Central Texas Soaps-it was a nice ride with those fellas. *-now defunct. The A.S. was pretty low anyway.
