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)

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.

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.
