Monday kicks off another week of 3017 focus. The steel is a JWest razor, unusual in that it is a near wedge and 7/8. It does take a fine edge and I enjoy the extra heft. Feeling extra stanky today, Montale Aoud Cuir d'Arabie. It is holiday so not too many people to offend. Deside to go with the legend, 2011 R41 loaded with a Super Iridium. A fine shave ensued.
Tuesday, May 6 Ariana & Evans Agarwood~~Huklaration B5~~WR1 Ti/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Initio Oud for Greatness Desert Island razor...yes, I said it. Stank du jour...stankiest of stanks. Which, btw, just received an UNSOLICITED SWMBOSOA®
Wednesday, May 7 Mike's Honey & Grapefruit~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~Wolfman WR1/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Tom Ford Tuscan Leather I am a ways off from my next 3017 and enjoying the variety again. The Mike's is a new offering from him and like all his other soaps, is excellent. The Wolfie was loaded with a Wizamet and cleanly shaved me whilst offering some not so subtle blade-feel. Tuscan Leather for the win.
Wanted to feel the aggression so 2011 R41 with a Super Irdium for the win. Thater brush for the win. Vintage Antaeus for the win. The original Seiko (sorry Timex will be tomorrow) Cocktail Time. After yesterday's winning shave I thought I would tired of so much winning but no. My finest steel, Riga Razor for the win. A big Simpsons PL10 make winning amount of lather. Stank of the day Tauer L'Air du Désert Marpcain, I think they charge by the letter.
I finally have a decent watch-it's a Quartz, with my initials at the 12, year of birth at the 6, date at the 3.
Thursday, May 8 AoS Lemon~~Vie-Long Beehive~~2010 Mühle R41/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Vintage YSL Pour Homme Cologne Picked up this vintage bottle of YSL Pour Homme. I used to splash this on with abandon in the mid-seventies. What goes around, comes around.
The fancy stuff is a feature from the company-The Danbury Mint(CT). I should add the initials and year of birth are at the BOTTOM of the 12 and 6 respectively, not a replacement for the numbers.
Saturday, May 10 Antica Barbieria Colla~~Semogue 2012 SE Mistura~~2010 Mühle R41~~YSL Opium Pour Homme Nice weekend shave 'n stank.
Sunday, May 11 Tabac~~Semogue~~Feather DX Spending Mother's Day with my son and daughter-in-law and grand babies. Hope everyone has a fantastic day.
Catch up time: Friday saw the Steam Punk running out of steam, maybe it will fall next week. Joris DE with a Super Iridium, Thäter brush and in the blue sample sprayer Tom Ford Tuscan Leather. The weekend means variety time. Saturday kicked off very busy so I went with my Cobra Classic to clear the stuble. I was attending a wedding so Tabac to ensure top quality lather and the most extensive stank in the house, Rojo Dove Vetiver. Time to put on the monkey suit. Sunday was a busy day too, so Asylum Rx for the razor, needed a quick shave. The weather was chilly so was in oud mood, Zingari Amir followed by vintage M7. An out of this world watch with a meteorite dial.
Steam Punk was one of the most original scents I ever used. I used to have a bottle of the EdT as well as the soap and ASB...alack and alas, I sold them.
Monday, May 12 Stirling Solidus~~Simpson D3~~Wolfman WR2/Wizamet~~Paco Rabanne 1 Million LuckyNew position at work and new hours. Back to shaving in the morning. Started off with this beauty of a shave 'n stank. Gotta be careful that I don't choose a particularly stanky stank.
Kicking off the week with a favorite stank, Rive Gauche in the tin can. El Capitaine is a heft 1/4 hollow 7/8 blade from Art Razor. She has a edge fresh off the stones. Another favorite and classic stank, Guerlain Vetiver. A top steel today, Dorko 7/8 full hollow. Bought this beauty NOS.
