Day 8 January 15th Gillette Goodwill w Nacet APShave SynBad/ Poculi Fine Platinum ‘Classic’ SS & AS Thayers -30C this morning. My truck really didn’t like it. For the first time in a very long time, I had a significant weeper. User error, completely. Have a great day all.
Thanks, Gary. A similar scent to Eau Sauvage? I have nothing that is really close in my den. Colonia has a few similar notes, but isn’t that close overall. Perhaps Joseph can help better, as I know he has the Dior Eau sauvage and a better nose than mine.
While my nose isn't that great, consensus is that Armani Eau Pour Homme has a similar feel to it. Disclaimer: I have never smelled it.
January 16, 2024 Feather AS D2 Feather PAA ShaveRite 210 La Toja Shave Stick & Aftershave Happy Tuesday Everyone. Bit of a messy morning here in the ATL starting with ran followed by a cold front. We are anticipating temps in the mid teens later this week. I really need to move someplace warmer. Another excellent shave this morning. This is one of my favorite 3017 attempts thus far. Take care and have a great day.
I have a stick of La Toja and have never tried it. It sits in my travel bag. I need to give it a shot.
Day 9 January 16th Gillette New Improved 'Bostonian' w GSB (1) APShave 2Bed / MrEE Aluminum Fine Platinum Classic SS Thayers SV Colonia The days of outstanding shaves keep rolling with this excellent soap. Can someone please open up that factory in Holland again? I don't remember this razor being this smooth...I suspect it is just the awesome slickness of the soap. Have a great day all!

Tuesday, January 16 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson CH3~~Cooper MonoBilt/Feather (2)~~Guerlain Vetiver EdT Over the years, I have had numerous CH3s. This is the one I have decided to keep. The knot is uber-soft, loads like a dream and feels ultra-luxurious on the skin. The Cooper---loaded with a Feather blade, is a force of nature. Finished with a traditional, manly and oh-so lovely stank.
I have a stick I got as an order top up from Gifts and Care in Spain. Haven’t tried it. Sounds like I need to grate it up.
I found another unopened stick this morning. The La Toja and LEA Menthol tubes of shave cream are both excellent if you are looking for something to top off an order. They are both on my repurchase list.
January 17, 2024 Wolfman Guerrilla Bronze Gillette Nacet Simpson CH3 Synthetic La Toja Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Wednesday! I had a follow up appointment with my general doctor this morning. I like their scales better than mine. They had me gaining only 2 lbs over the holiday. It was hard loosing the weight but I am finding it equal hard to maintain the weight loss. Now onto the shave stuff. Using all these Simpson Synthetic brushes have really slaughtered this soap. I started with roughly 50 grams grated into the bowl. I was down to roughly 23 grams remaining before the shave this morning. I feel confident this one will be gone by month end. Take care and have a great day.
