May 6th Cooper MonoBilt w Astra SP Simpson CH2 JOHS Blood on Steel LE SS Thayers Fine Platinum I ended up not shaving this weekend at all, after heading out to the lake to get the campsite ready. Turned out to be some issues there, but such is life. I think this is day 16 of the focus…all good in that front. Inspired by Joseph to make it a MonoBilt Monday. Let’s see if the Maestro remembers the brush from last week…
The Barbasol Floating Head (Conrad) is very different than my Gillettes, but I don’t have some of the same ones as you, Gary. It is a great shaver, but one that requires a focussed touch. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the ones you’ve listed, regardless.
thank you Jason.i will see what comes available in the future.i have the 3 on my list..barbasol,lereshe 51,red ring..

Wednesday, May 8 ETHOS Lavender Suprême~~Semogue TSN Final Edition 1/50~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Feather~~Rasasi Hawas Making good progress with the ETHOS. The Semogue Finest knot has a bit of scritch. As it was NOS, I am hoping I can break it in. I gave friend of mine my bottle of Invictus Aqua, because he liked it so. I have read for years, that the Hawas is very similar. Well, it is and smells damn great. Now Primo does as well.

We have some pretty serious thunderstorms rolling through the area. So far we have not had any serious issues from the storms and I hope that trend continues. A very nice shave this morning despite one operator induced weeper. Take care and have a great day everyone.
