Thursday, August 15 AoS Peppermint~~Morris & Forndran Ali Baba 2~~Feather AS-D2/Polsilver~~Michael by Michael Kors Nothing much to add regarding the shave cream... The stank is a terrific scent created by Harry Fremont. Some variances between the two. Basenotes vs. Fragantica
August 16, 2024 Charcoal Goods Everyday Razor Gillette 7 O’clock Black Zenith Agua Lavana Puig After Shave Happy Friday Everyone! Another fantastic shave to start the day. I have my average soap usage up to approximately 2.5 grams per shave. I anticipate this will increase as the soap softens and works further down towards the bowl. I agree with @Keithmax , the bowl is cool but is very messy to lather. It would be much better if the bowl were wider and not over filled. Take care and have a great day.

How do you like that Montale? The only Patchouli I have in collection is Dior Patchouli Imperial. I am inspired, I will break out my Zenith boar too. Good to hear you are feeling better.
Using MdC everyday seems to keep it softer and it feels like I am using more per shave. This stainless steel Mastro Livi has always been a joy to use and maintain. It is one of two. I add lanolin every time I use MdC, it seems to really improve the aftershave feel. I may also just be in my head. The Dorko is another top razor and 7/8 it is a perfect size. I had an early morning appointment so I went with a DE, my Janus Toggle. I was surprised the razor was panned by some on another site. It is very aggressive when at the higher settings, so I turn it down a couple to keep the blade chatter down. The MDCI Invation Barbare is almost done, I am debating wether to buy another bottle or not. It is the only 'powdery' stank in my den. Today I used the Zenith boar, but no picture yet. That will follow tomorrow.
awesome Keith.the Janus toggle is a fine razor.There are folks out there that hate Red Rings and Red Tips as well...Can't please everyone..
It looks like the softening up and loading the soap likes it owes me money and is avoiding my calls is paying off. There is the tiny beginnings of the donut of death. The Pour Monsieur is getting near the bottome too. I buy another bottle in the spring.
It's your typical Montale...strong. I get more leather than patchouli. When I want a patchouli-forward stank, I break out the vintage Givenchy Gentleman. Speaking of which, I think I'll use it today.

August 18, 2024 Supply Co V2 SS Matte Black with ●● plate Thäter 4125/3 Schick Proline MdC Original Agua Lavanda Puig Happy Sunday Everyone. Changed up the Asylum Injector for the Supply Co V2 injector. This is by far my favorite injector. So much so that at one time I owned 3 of them. One found a new home with @jtspartan . I am constantly using 3 grams of soap per shave now. Even so, this 3017 will still take time. Take care and have a wonderful day.
August 19, 2024 Supply Co V2 SS Matte Black with ●● plate Paladin Schick Proline MdC Original Agua Lavanda Puig Happy Monday. I was up and moving very early this morning. I am already at the auto dealership for my service. I tell myself that I will try to work remotely from here. Sure . Another fantastic shave to start the day. Most days I am using 4 grams of soap for the shave. Take care and have a great day.
