Day 1 January 7th Supply SE w Schick Proline Simpson CH2 Synthetic Fine Platinum- Triple Milled puck & AS Thayers Back in the game with a great lather. I’ll weigh it tomorrow, but there is a lot of product left. Have a good night all!
January 8, 2024 Wolfman WR1 Ti OC (0.74 mm blade gap) with Triad Handle Gillette 7 O’clock Black Simpson CH2 Synthetic La Toja Shave Stick La Toja Aftershave Happy Monday I think. The next Wolfman up is my WR 1 OC in Ti. I got this head in 2016. I do regret not ordering it with the handle at the time. I am on the Wolfman waiting list for a matching handle. I just could not take the Cade shave cream and trashed it. I bought several La Toja shave sticks the last time I visited Barcelona. Since I mostly use the stick when I travel, I had forgotten how well the soap works. I will likely grate this stick into a container to make it easier to use. Overall a fantastic shave this morning. It amazes me how much a great soap adds to the shave. Take care and have a great day.
Monday, January 8 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic Badger~~Gillette New LC/Feather~~Ard Al Zaafaran Oud 24 Hours You wanna eat through some soap? Break out your Simpson Synthetic. Day two with the Feather blade and it was sharp and smooth. I don't have a lot of clones in my stank collection, but this clone of Tom Ford Black Orchid is truly amazing.
Weighed it tonight. Happened to have a 2nd empty tub to get an accurate weight on the soap. 84g with tub. Tub is 22g. 62g of product. 2.32oz…roughly 2/3 of the original puck.
Day 2 January 8th Supply SE w Schick Proline APShave 2Bed / MrEE Aluminum Fine Platinum combo Thayers Such a great lather. Loving the run with the Supply as well. With the 2Dot plate, it just plain works for me…smoothness and efficient enough. Thanks again, Clint. Have a great night all.
January 9, 2024 Wolfman WR1 Ti OC (0.74 mm blade gap) with Triad Handle Gillette 7 O’clock Black Semogue Galahad La Toja Shave Stick La Toja Aftershave Happy Tuesday! It is a rainy mess here in the ATL. Storms and flash flooding in store for the remainder of the day. I really thought about working from home but decided it would be best to at least come into the office this morning. I grated the shave stick into a bowl for the 3017 challenge. This makes it easier for me to use with all my brushes. I weighed everything and started this morning with a net weight of the soap being 50 grams. The lather was just fantastic. Take care and have a great day.
I have a smaller Culmak brush, I wish it was larger. I would happy to trade brushes if you like. Well done, another soap is done. Prayers for your colleague. Another one bites the dust!
Catch up time. These were the shaves and stanks from last week. The theme was TSD related brushes. Monday was the first day I felt my retirement, so I decided to go with my George Woshenholm razor that has the cool stars scales.... plus the extra stinky Aoud Cuir D'Arabie. The same day the donught of death appeared. I think maybe this puck of Tabac will fall in January.
Day 3 January 9th Supply SE Stirling Finest / Maple Fine Platinum Thayers Myrsol Lemon Have a great night all.
January 10, 2024 Wolfman WR1 Ti OC (0.74 mm blade gap) with Triad Handle Gillette 7 O’clock Black Simpson CH2 Synthetic La Toja Shave Stick La Toja Aftershave Happy Wednesday. Another excellent shave this morning. I am really enjoying the La Toja shave soap. Swati and I are visiting Spain this summer so I will pick up some more La Toja and LEA shave soaps and creams. Take care and have a great day
