Day 20 After ‘seeing’ the dark green bottom of the tub the past few days, I have finally broken through and started a donut hole. Still a long way from completion, but an easy focus so far.
May 5, 2023 Hone 15S ŌKU Botiho Feather MdC Fougère Speick After Shave Happy Friday Everyone! It has been a busy but productive day thus far. Unfortunately, I will be working at least part of the day tomorrow. The MdC continues to disappear at a good pace of around 2 grams per shave. If that pace continues this one will be over in good time. Have a great day gents.
Friday, May 5 AoS Lavender~~Zenith~~'47 Super-Speed~~Invictus Aqua Day Twelve Late on posting this shave. Fresh Gillette Platinum in the Super-Speed. The Zenith is breaking in nicely. I am going to stick with this brush for the duration of the 3017.
May 6, 2023 Hone 15S Simpson CH2 Synthetic Feather MdC Fougère Speick After Shave The CH2 Synthetic aka the "Soap Destroyer" loaded and lathered the MdC with ease. The Speick should be done and dusted soon. Overall it was a fantastic shave to start the day.
The two I'm doing 3017 (cartridge and soap) are really tough. But this one is going to die in the next weeks. https://theshaveden.com/forums/posts/2080088/
You mean Louuhvl. The correct pronunciation has only 2.5 syllables. But I'm pretty sure that's the other side of the world in the photo.
And that's a wrap for the EJ sandalwood. Thursday, actually. Sorry no pix. A grand total of 124 3-pass shaves from that little puck. Color me impressed. I'll start another 3017 after a bit. First I have a few new things I'm itching to try out. And a few old friends to catch up with.
Day 21 The focus rolls on. Used the Canadian Ball End Old Type the past few days. I think I’ll tuck this one away in the drawer. Too similar to the single ring, even though I do appreciate that it is the Canadian model.
Assuming I can hitch a ride on @Keithmax's Gulfstream G800, it's roughly 6,818.65 mi (10,973.56 km) (13h 24min) at an initial bearing of 269.66° (W) from Seoul to Louisville. It's not a bad trip if he remembers to stock the galley with Rocky Road ice cream. He recently upgraded the cabin pillows to MyPillow 2.0 with the patented interlocking fill.
This one was replated by Evan in Nickel. The handle isn’t cracked, which puts it in the minority. One chipped comb tooth, which doesn’t make a difference.
