Titanic and 3017...?

Monday, September 30

ETHOS Bay Rum~~Varlet Mega HD~~Wolfman WR2 .74 Ti/Voskhod
Not ready for the next 3017.
This was a fantastic interim shave.​

 

I vote for fried bacon.

 

That came in a close second.

 

I don’t remember if it is a grey box era but it’s a fantastic knot. It’s a #3.

 

In Korea we have thick sliced bacon as a main course cooked at the table. Of course that includes kimchi and onion fried in the bacon fat. No that is my number one scent.

 

Aaaah, he's just a Flexible Flyer(remember those?)

 

So's mine.
Look at the Simpson website. Tulip 3's have a knot of only 22mm!
Mine is 29mm. HUGE.

 

Mine is not 22mm, at least 26mm. I have a Tulip 2 that is closer to 22mm.

 

Ok I narrowed it down to three for the next 3017. Awesome Sauce which is a Proraso dupe, great scent and great performance but I would feel completed to replace it. Panna Creama found this one in soap drawer and the performance is good plus a nice scent. This one I would not replace. Steam Punk is great stuff, fantastic performance and an unique scent. I would feel to replace this one.



The next 3017 target is Panna Crema, I remember the object of this exercise to thin my absurd shaving soap collection. I kicked this off with a trio of big steel, all full hollow and 8/8 blades. The weather has finally changed and now that we have cooler days I switched from cold water shave to warm water shaves.

 

Beautiful Tulip. Simpson simply doesn't make 'em like that anymore. The knots these days are"uninspired".

A&E Chasing the Dragon (3017)~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~Wolfman WR2/Voskhod
Here's the next subject of my 3017.
The soap is fantastic.
The scent is very powerful.
I don't reach for it often and when it's gone...it's gone.​

Arianna & Evans Chasing the Dragon~~TSN X LE~~Gillette #44 RFB/Voskhod
Nothing new to report.
Keeping my head down and workin' the 3017...​

 

Fall is here so stanks are changing and moving from cold shaves to warm shaves. This pair of Mastro Livi Gifrettos have served me well.



The Panna Crema is about half way down and I am loading heavy. A smiling Drew Dick and the infamous 2011 R41 were my chosen weapons. It smells good to have Fahrenheit back in the stank rotation.
