Helped me get my new Wolfman, too.

I Coloniali~~Declaration Grooming B14~~Gem Clog-Pruf/Gem~~Amouage Gold Man
Finished up the last, little chunk of the I Coloniali.
Good to the last drop.

Borrowing from a page of @clint64 's playbook, my next 3017 will be...
Drumroll, please...

I have transferred contents into my Aesop SS bowl, for facilitating better "fast 'n loose"® lathering.
See you in the funny papers. ​

 

Congrats on sinking another soap Joseph. I am sure you will enjoy the Ethos Bay Rum.

Ethos Bay Rum~~Hucklaration B5~~Cobra Classic/Schick Proline~~YSL M7
Well, I have to say right up front, I really like the Ethos product-line.
This Bay Rum is a wonderful smelling, slick and protective soap, which is very easy to lather.
The B5 is a real-looker and soft---but no sacrifice in backbone.
My razor choice today, is an homage to a former TSD member, who, (hopefully) is now haunting some other shave forum,
wielding his middle finger---all the while winning friends and influencing people.
The AC blade-loaded Cobra Classic.

I shaved at around 9am and I kid you not, my neck is still smooth.
Finished with the YSL M7 triumvirate.
​

 

Congrats on knockin' out the I Coloniali, Joseph.

I bet you went through a lot of Mr. Bubble as a kid.

 

Congrats, Maestro! Some serious den reduction going on there.

 

I’ve had a great week of shaves rocking some fave software and enjoying the Canadian Rocket. A few pics:

I’m ready to jump back into a 3017, though…starting tomorrow. What did I pick? The original Fine Platinum puck.
See you tomorrow.

 

Congrats, Clint! You’re tearing through the soaps.

 

Yup

Yup

Yup

Hopefully, Yup

 

Fine Platinum. Triple-milled...check; excellent soap...check; intriguing scent...check. Sounds like a winner. How much remains is the question du jour?

 

I loved and was a regular user, albeit passive, of Mr. Bubble.

Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson T3~~Cooper MonoBilt/Feather~~Burt's Bees Bay Rum
The secret to Fast 'n Loose® lathering, is surface area.
The Aesop SS bowl is just wide enough to allow larger knots, such as this über-stuffed Tulip,
to get in there and dig up some goodness.
The Cooper never disappoints, nor does the Feather (fresh) blade.
Burt's Bees Bay Rum---a sadly-discontinued stank, finished the shave up nicely.​

 

I owe it all to @Primotenore Fast & Loose lathering method.

L’occitane Cade Shaving Cream
Small Batch Shave Tonic



Happy Sunday Everyone. While I am getting decent shaves with this cream, it is just not very good at all. I am going to think things over. The cream might very well end up in file 13. Without being forced, there is absolutely no reason to use subpar products. Take care and have a great day. ​

 

See @wristwatchb
Never doubt Primo.

 

Why can't there be ads like that these days?????

 

Agreed, Paul.

 

Yup. (Nods head slowly in agreement).

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!

 

I trashed the cream. It was just barely ok for using occasionally but not everyday.
