Sunday, January 28 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson "Rover"~~Leresche #51/Wilkinson Chromium~~Vintage Old Spice Cologne Next 3017, I am going to have to weigh my Aesop SS bowl before transferring contents. As of this morning, I can only guess that there remains approximately 4-6g. I have to schedule a Leresche "focus". This razor never fails to leave my neck with weepers and irritation. I'll call it "user-error". Old Spice for the win.
My CH2 Synth whipped up an amazing Sunday Tabac lather! Sunday January 28, 2024 Brush: Simpson Lather: Tabac Razor: Henson Blade: Feather Post: Tabac
Well done, I am almost finished with my puck of Tabac, wonderful stuff. It effect when you where it to the Piggly Wiggly is just icing on the cake. Congratulations!
I am lot busier than I expected, being retired is a lot of work. Here is last weeks work on my puck of Tabac: No theme last week, but I heard a rumor that a decent Chinese blade existed so I could not resisit. I bought some of the Suneko blades and was pleasantly surprised. The black hole in the puck of Tabac is growing, it will definately finish in February. I was enjoying the old school power of Rive Gauche (vintage) so wore it several days.
If it's vintage as you show, it IS for the win. Crank up those French Horns for the oroiginal jingle .
Monday, January 29 Ethos Bay Rum~~Semogue SOC~~Leresche #51/Wilkinson Chromium~~Royall Spyce Decided to jump right back in with the Leresche. I was particularly careful to use zero pressure on the neck and eschewed the ATG. Better results.
Day 17 January 29th Karve ‘D’ w Polsilver (1) Omega Evo/ Burl&Resin Fine Platinum Classic SS & AS Thayers Didn’t take a Pic of the Day 16 shave. Today was a wonderful full 3 passer. Great hardware, great software, great results.
January 30, 2024 Wolfman WR1 with Hempel Ti Tatra Semogue Mistura Taj LEA Classic Shave Soap and Aftershave Happy Tuesday. I was a bit under the weather yesterday. Thankfully I am feeling much better today. It is hard to go wrong with this lineup. Take care and have a great day.
Glad you're feeling better, Clint. How would you compare the WR1 and WR2. I have read that one should order a smaller blade gap with th3 WR1 because it's more aggressive. Thoughts?
I have the WR2 solid bar with a 1.05mm blade gap. I have two WR 1 OC razors with 0.61mm and 0.74mm blade gaps. I find the WR 2 razor more forgiving than the other 2. I find the efficiency of larger blade gap WR 1 and the WR 2 to be very similar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I went and got myself way behind. But unlike a certain other thread, catching up here is doable. And today I have nothing but time. Last I was here, I was working on the Mike's vetiver. I finished that off a couple weeks ago now. I haven't settled on another to kill off yet. Just picking whatever strikes my fancy. Congratulations @Keithmax on the retirement!
Tuesday, January 30 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~Leresche #51/Wilkinson Chromium~~Diptyque Oud Palao I had hoped to have finished the Ethos before February, but alas and alack...'tis not to be. Good success on the neck with the French DE, but got a weeper on the right cheek... The Diptyque is a glorious rose/oud (GENUINE oud, btw) stank.
