August 26, 2023 Hype X1 Razor with Comfort Plate Schick Proline Alpha Shaving Outlaw Ethos Bay Rum Shave Soap Barberry Coast Bay Rum Aftershave Happy Saturday. Swati and I are going out to lunch with Maya before she goes back to Athens. I decided on the next 3017 target. @Primotenore Joseph was kind enough to PIF me a full 4 oz tub of Ethos Bay Rum shave soap. He was given the soap and already had one in his den. For some unknown reason, the first gentlemen removed all the labels from the soap container so I will need to get out the label machine or transfer it to one of my other decorative containers. After thinning so many razors from my den, I added another one. The internet and Old Fashions can be a dangerous combination. The maiden voyage of the soap and razor went off perfectly. I will enjoy using both going forward. Take care and have a great day.
Looks like some of the OG is hanging out together! Greetings, gentlemen. I haven’t posted in a long time and have been trying to reduce my den and use up my mountain of soaps a bit (actually 3017-ing a few soaps this year). However, this week I actually broke down and bought a new razor to add to my 30+ others, because… well… you know… Anyway - the new razor (a Henson) is game changer. Long story short, all my razors (except a few sentimental ones) will now be going up for sale. This morning, out of curiosity, I wondered if news of this razor had made it to the boards yet, and ran into a post from @Linuxguile asking about new razors. While there I read a post from @wristwatchb posted about this thread where some of the OG 30DC still hang out. While I seldom have any shaving info of note any longer, I do miss you guys, and I may lurk around and make fun of @wristwatchb just for old times sake. Cheers!
That is a very unique looking razor indeed, Clint. Congrats for it and for jumping right back into a 3017ing. Yes…I’ve had a few internet/old fashioned combos myself lately. Not shave related, but definitely in the ‘probably don’t need’ category…
Day 24 The shave was yesterday. I’ve had a nice run with the F plate, but will move onto a different baseplate with this razor for next shave. I’m doing a mini comparison for myself of whether the different plates lead to different results in 2 pass shaves. As for the 3017- great lathers every time.
Fantastic to hear from you Randy. It seems that we are all on a similar route of using up some soaps. The Henson is a fantastic razor. Congrats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I sold the potato peeler razors and got an ice scraper one instead. I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets in trouble mixing adult beverages and the internet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's great to hear from you, Randy! I've become a more self-controlled and respectful forum member, so please forgive me if I don't engage in the silly banter. Even though these pseudonyms for you popped into my head, I've determined, at this time, that they not they are not worthy of further mention: Frozen Treats Magnate Pistachio Potentate Duke of Dulce de Leche Baron Butter Pecan Crown Prince of Cookie Dough Please say hello to everyone at Mar-a-Lago for me. In other words, I look forward to your posts and shenanigans, my friend.
Sunday, August 27 Eufros Tobacco~~Mondial 25mm~~RazoRock GC .84 OC/Wilkinson Chromium Missed my shave yesterday, so the Light Brigade had some serious stubble to remove. I went with the GC as on Friday. This razor punches waaaaaay above its pay grade. Hefty handle; nice fit 'n finish; good balance. The Mondial boar is already soft and a pleasure to use.
