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.

January 25, 2024 Wolfman WR2 with Triad Ti Handle Gillette 7 O’clock Black Paladin LEA Classic Shave Soap and Aftershave Happy Friday! Very early morning shave with a very late afternoon post. I decided to stick with the Spanish theme and go with the LEA Classic shave soap. This is a soap that I really enjoy and it will only get better with regular use. Take care and have a great day.
