Wednesday, December 13 I Coloniali~~Declaration Grooming B5~~Gillette New LC/Sharp Star~~Secretions Magnifique The B5 is such a dense knot. I've said this before, but it's like lathering with a tennis ball. Fresh Sharp Star in the LC and results were eccellante jubilatis*. * Considering a copyright...
Thank you, Joe. Yes, I am over the moon about the Canucks start. We are really good every 11 years... Your Rangers are top tier this year as well.
December 14, 2023 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG Brad Sears Synthetic WSP Ol’Kentucky Shave Soap Small Batch Shave Tonic Happy Thursday. This workweek is just about in the books. I decided to change things up and went with the Asylum Rx. It is by far my most aggressive SE razor. Thankfully the Protouch MG blades tame it down. A great shave to start the day. Take care and have a great day everyone.
Day 32 December 14th Gillette Goodwill APShave SynBad/ Poculi Mike’s Orange, Cedar and Pepper Thayers Stirling Autumn Glory Another great razor, another great lather early this morning. Have a good night all.
December 15, 2023 Cobra Classic Feather Pro Simpson CH2 Synthetic WSP Ol’Kentucky Small Batch Shave Tonic Happy Friday at last. I have an annual doctor's appointment with my gastroenterologist this morning. It should be uneventful but I honestly don't like going to doctors. At least I was able to get in a wonderful shave this morning. The Classic Cobra is a stunning razor but the snake will bite if I am not paying attention. Even so, the Asylum Rx V2 bites more easily and more often. Take care and have a great day.
Friday, December 15 I Coloniali~~Simpson M7~~Gillette New LC/Sharp Star~~Sospiro Classica EdP The soap insisted upon spinning around in the Aesop bowl... Not gonna like dealing with that every shave. Regardless, or as they say in the vernacular...irregardless, the M7 and my nimble hand worked in tandem to produce a luscious lather. The Sharp Star was exceedingly smooth and still sharp. The Classica is a new stank with oodles of Oud. Real Oud, I might add.
Day 33&34 December 15/16 Travel Shaves Canadian Prewar Tech w 7 O’clock Green Simpson Sovereign/ Resin Mike’s Orange, Cedar & Pepper Thayers Terre d’Hermes (today) Maol Frankinlime (tomorrow) Out of town for a few days. The soap will survive the trip. The humble Tech delivered a very smooth shave with a sharp St Pete’s blade and a slick Mike’s lather. Have a great night all!
Sounds like a great travel set up, Charlie. The hardware in the pic is my standard travel kit. The brush and razor live in the dopp bag. A Palmolive stick is usually the soap of choice, but not for the 3017. When flying, I like Trac lls as well, with a Schick handle.
Saturday, December 16 I Coloniali~~Vie-Long Beehive~~Feather AC/Schick Proline~~Tom Ford Oud Wood Transferred the soap back into the terra cotta container, as it was unhappy in the Aesop SS bowl. The Vie-Long never disappoints. Fresh Proline was smooth and sharp. Stabbed myself in the left jaw... Mos def® drew blood. Finished with a beautiful stank from TF.
