It is was a busy week so time to catch up. I have been working on the Castle Forbes and hopefully it will finish this month. This week's theme is BIG, big brushes and big razors.
April 13, 2024 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG Zenith Boar Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave April 14, 2024 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG CH2 Synthetic Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Sunday Everyone! I got side tracked yesterday and forgot to post. So today is a 2 for 1. I have found that loading and lathering from a bowl works much better with the "Fast & Loose Lathering Method". Accordingly, I moved the shave soap to my Aesop shave bowl. This is one of the keys to finishing a soap more quickly. Take care and have a great day.
Sunday, April 14 XPEC~~Rubberset 400/3~~RazoRock Game Changer OC .84/Personna 74~~Vintage Drakkar Noir This shave took place about 12 hours ago...BBS is long gone. The vintage Guy Laroche has become a skin-scent, albeit a beautiful stank.
April 14th Barbasol Floating Head w Astra SP APShave Flattop/ Sapele Jeeves of Hudson St. Blood on Steel combo Thayers Early morning shave, late evening post. Not for the usual reason, though. My phone was kaput...I still have other electronics to post from, but the shave pics are on my phone. Problem rectified late today. This morning's shave was with the 2nd soap I'm thinking about for the next 3017. I rarely reach for it, as I recall not really enjoying the scent. It was fine today. I love the Jeeves lather...it has stood the test of time versus other artisans for me. Verdict? A real contender. It is also one of the older artisan pucks still in my den. We'll see about the scent, but the performance was top notch.
April 15, 2024 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG 30 DC LE Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Tuesday. Whew the first big rush of tax season is over. Another excellent shave this morning with a fantastic face chill. Take care and have a great day.
Monday, April 15 XPEC~~Simpson CH2 Super Badger~~1936 Gillette Aristocrat De Luxe/Personna 74~~Vintage Houbigant Duc de Vervins A shave fit for a Duc...Duc de Vervins, that is.
You're right, Joseph. I went ahead and placed another Arko gift order for you. 360 sticks was the limit, but at least I got free shipping. And since I made the order by April 15, I qualify for the federal insect control tax credit. Let me know when you run out (or when your Bride runs you out of the house).
