SoS: July 27, 2015 - Aug 2, 2015

You sure do have some very nice equipment.

 

Good looking picture. The Old Spice bowl has a lid on it correct?

 

Good looking shave mug for it's age.. Will you post a picture of the other side?

 

Great setup..

 

Doug, I think you would like the FB. It would make a nice addition to your already outstanding collection of vintage Gillettes. I have the Merkur 37C, and I really enjoy it too. I'm sure he 34C is a great shaver as well. I've heard many good things about them.

I told a friend at work how much I liked my New LC, and he picked up a nice one for himself this week for $15. I think he got it at the local thrift shop. It was in the original case with the matching blade holder, and it still had the cardboard Gillette sleeve with the original handwritten price tag of $1 on it. I made him a standing offer of a buck fifty it if he didn't like it. Of course, I would have to wait until August to buy it.

 

Replay from earlier SOTD thread.

Gents, I spoke to Steve today. He has received a severe concussion and is going to have to undergo treatment before he can come back to using the computer and work on the lathe. He does not expect to see the specialist until mid-August. He will have to see what is recommended and it might be some time before he returns. I told him to just relax and heal up. Steve does thank you for your concern.

 

Thank you Gary for the update. Prayers go out to Steve for a speedy recovery.

 

Thank you!

 

Happy anniversary!

 

Thanks for the information. I'll keep looking for a FB.

 

He stated it was an accident but did not go deep into the details.

 

Thursday's planned shave:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/SuperMax Blue day 2
Synergy Frost_byte SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

Great set-up for a hell of a cold shave. The Frost_byte soap is very well-named because it's really icy, as well as very easy to get rich, creamy, and stable lather. I had a bit of an issue with the scent at the beginning but since then it's grown on me. It also has a good post-shave feeling which is very cool and comfortable. The Rubby Dubby Doo is an aftershave which every menthol lover should have in his/her rotation - not expensive and does it ever freeze. I'll admit that the Derbys are better than the SuperMax Blues, but I have to experiment once in a while, right?

 

Happy Anniversary...

Good to know he is on the mend.

No, I won this as part of a welcome giveaway on SRP. It's a very nice brush, though.

 

Hope Sterve has a quick recovery

 

Thank you for your kind words and neither of the two mugs came with a lid.
