I actually enjoy winter, and winter activities. I'm good to about -10 Celcius for outdoor activities. What we had a week ago was extreme, damaging to property and potentially unsafe to folks.
Day 12 and Day 13 Yesterday and Today What a week it has been. On Thursday morning, I took a work call right after getting out of the shower and right before I shaved. The call resulted in me having to leave town asap (without shaving...) and spending a few days out of the den. Got a hotel shave in on Friday morning and came back home Saturday night. Such is life. Back to a regular work day Monday, so two standard shaves the past few days. Had a good run with the Bostonian and pulled the Old Type this morning. I got outstanding results with both. Have a great day all!
Thanks, Pal. FYI, I hade this exact same configuration a few years ago and sold it. Repurchased, and with the dollar strength, it cost almost $100 less this time around.
Tuesday January 23 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson M7~~Wolfman WR2/Wilkinson Chromium (2)~~Etat Libre d'Orange Secretions Magnifique Soap still exists and my prediction is that it'll make it through the month. Note to self: Focus...make lather... If you keep the Darwin handle and your hands dry, the grip becomes more intuitive. Day two with the Light Brigade. Even after all these years, one of the best blades ever made. Stankin' good in the neighbourhood. (Spelling courtesy of our friends north of the border)
January 24, 2024 Feather AS D2 Feather PAA ShaveRite 210 La Toja Shave Stick & Aftershave Happy Wednesday. Another rainy messy day here in the ATL which is better than temps in the teens. The La Toja soap is done and dusted. Gone baby gone! Now I need to decide what's next. Take care and have a great day.
Congrats Clint on the La Toja knock-out! You are seriously running out of shave soap. Stay dry today, my friend.
I take pride in bringing up the rear in the race to finish a puck of Mike's. I'm down to a fairly small bit and have been using it as a shave stick the past few days. Its days are numbered. This is one of my favorite all-around soaps...great lather and slickness. I also love the Hungarian Lavender scent. It's in my top 5, mos def. As a 3017 multi-tasker, I'm also finishing up bottles of Stetson cologne, Fine L'Orange Noir aftershave, and my supply of Astra SP blades. I have a few new bottles of unopened aftershave. I plan to knock them out one after another and then stick mainly to colognes after that. I've got my next two 3017 soap/cream prospects in mind. I have a bit of Proraso cream and a new puck of Stirling Executive Man. I'll be knocking out those together in some fashion. I hope you all are well!
Wednesday, January 24 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~Wolfman WR2/Wilkinson Chromium~~SMN Nostalgia All prepped and lathered; take the first pass, stretching the skin at the right sideburn...wow, I can't find the right angle! Forgot to insert a blade. After that, all was copasetic. Stank courtesy of Italian Monks and Race Cars.
