Thanks.
The theme is Brutiful.
I'm killing the Brut line and the Schick Proline P30 blade.
It'll take some time ...

 

Happy to see you enjoyed it and finished it off.

 

The conclusion of Superlative Steel.

A 7/8 Brian Brown full hollow blade that has always kept a sharp edge and the few times it was on the stones for refresh it was a breeze.


This is a 6/8 Mastro Livi Gifretto, one of two in my den. There was alot of controvery in the past about his razors and his honing. The Gifretto razors are stainless steal and have been just a joy to shave with. The Arlinton is hold on stubornly and it does not look I am making progress.

Playing the field for a few shaves, before my next 3017.
Today's lilac soap is the finest I have ever used.​

I am not going to 3017 the Bonaparte, but I am going to use it for the next 2 weeks.
Mos Def® an acquired taste.​

Stirling Bonaparte~~Simpson "Rover"~~Gillette New LC/Sharp Star
Decided to build the lather directly on the puck and got much better results.
Right now, this is the only Stirling soap in my arsenal. The quality is excellent and the post-shave is impressive.
The AS splash goes on with gusto, but dissipates quickly. The ASB, however, does keep my kisser feeling silky.​

Stirling Bonaparte~~Simpson M7~~Wolfman WR2 1.15 OC/Sharp Star
While I haven't morphed into a megalomaniacal dictator, I do feel quite refreshed after today's shave.
This shave is dedicated to @Linuxguile, who was kind enough to introduce me to this very-special soap.
Wishing you well, Andrew.​

 

Anyone heard from Jason? If someone has his private email address, please PM it to me.

 

How's he(Linuxguile)been?

 

I wish I knew, Paul.

 

I am leaving in a few hours for England and Scottland. My nephew finally obtained his driving license so he will be our chauffeur as we tour some of the fine distileries.

Finally the bottom is pocking through and so starts the donut of death.



My last

 

Safe travels, Keith.

Stirling Bonaparte~~Kent BK8~~Barbasol Floating Head/Sharp Star
One might understandably assume I am 3017'ing the Bonaparte.

Y'know, looking at this from a mathematical viewpoint(and I am not a mathematics freak), he'll get down to one syllable in 4 days from now.
