This week theme was big brushes, on the left is Polo 12. The big brushes aided in increasing the size of the donut of death. All the blades had nice edges, in the back is a Wade and Butcher, i front left to right is a PRC, Mastro Livi and a Brian Brown.
Friday, February 23 Dominca Bay Rum Shave Soap~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic Badger~~Wolfman WR2/Astra SP~~Dominca Bay Rum Decided to give the new, improved version of the Dominica Bay Rum shave soap a go. The lather dissipated quickly. It did provide relative slickness. The scent is Bay Rum. However, with so many superior options out there, I won't be using this soap anymore.
February 23, 2024 Hype X1 Razor with “C” Plate Schick Proline Zenith Boar LEA Classic Shave Soap and Aftershave Happy Friday at last. It has been a week for sure. I am looking forward to the weekend. All the hardware and software played well together. Take care and have a great day.
And another day closer for the Rose of Bulgaria. I'm also about to kill off the Tuff aftershave. I will absolutely be replacing it.

February 24, 2024 Hype X1 Razor with “C” Plate Schick Proline Zenith Boar LEA Classic Shave Soap and Aftershave
February 25, 2024 High Proof Razor Gillette 7 O’clock Black Thäter Boar LEA Classic Shave Soap and Aftershave Happy Sunday. A bit of change in the lineup. I am going with the High Proof razor. I would describe it as a OneBlade that uses half DE blades. The hardware and software played well together delivering a fantastic shave this morning. The soap continues to sink at a good pace. I have approximately 16 grams after today's shave. Take care and have a great day.
Sunday, February 25 AoS Sandalwood~~Vie-Long~~Gillette #44/Astra SP~~Vintage Williams Aqua Velva Stank trivia... The original Aqua Velva contained real oakmoss, which is now banned by IFRA (International Fragrance Association)
It would normally be around 5 shaves for me but this soap is not cooperating. I suppose it will be closer to 8 or 9 shaves before the soap is "done & dusted"
February 26, 2024 High Proof Razor Gillette 7 O’clock Black Mr EE #4 LEA Classic Shave Soap and Aftershave Happy Monday. I feel like I have returned the land of the living after having Covid most of last week and the weekend. Since I don't want to get anyone at the office sick, I will be working from home for the next several days. A wonderful drama free shave to start the day. I really can't ask for more. I will say that I am ready for this 3017 to be over. Take care and have a great day.
Monday, February 26 AoS Sandalwood~~Semogue 2012 Mistura~~Feather AS-D2/Astra SP~~Dehn El Oodh Malaki/Aramis Tobacco Reserve Chuggin' along with the AoS cream. I'll miss these products when they're gone. I have two more to 3017, but they're warm-weather scents. The Feather/Astra combo did a great job. Saw an SOTD with a Grooming Department (I think) Tobacco/Oud shave soap. I was intrigued, so I layered my own. Very, very nice stank.
