SoS: November 9.2015 - November 15, 2015

I do apologize, but I need a back-up for myself and for my son when he starts shaving.

 

SATURDAY
Evening shave for Tomorrow
Out early tomorrow morning so tonight I get the pleasure of having a nice, wide-awake & leisurely-paced shave! M-Bombed the Route 66 soap for a frosty, citrusy lather which provided excellent glide for the Dubl duck. Three pass near-BBS results. Finished with 'more orange'— 'L'Orange Noir' from Fine Accoutrements.
Have a great Saturday, all!

Saturday



This was my first shave with my new custom brush - the JR #26 installed with a 24mm WD boar knot.
It is far from broken in yet, so it's a bit stiff and scratchy (and smelly), but I expect it to break in like every other boar.
Handle is great in my hand, really like the heft and size. Seems perfect. Thanks, Jim! @Jayaruh
Got a really nice DFS++ with this setup. ​

 

Great looking brush.

 

Yes sir - it was a magnificent shave!

 

This shave, as I said to Omar was magnificent. Brian's Bay Rum soap has such THICK, wonderful lather which has that beautiful bay rum scent that I love so much and the post-shave feeling is great. His matching aftershave has that same scent with terrific skincare - no moisturizer is even necessary because the aftershave does the job perfectly!

 

11/14/15 - I can see why there is such a hype for Fat Boys. A really good shaver with a great feel.

SOTD: Saturday, November 14
Mike's Bay Rum
Simpson CH3 Manchurian
1940 Gillette Milord Tech
Feather (1)
Dominica Bay Rum

Have a great day!
The Milord Tech is an aggressive razor. The new Feather blade raised the aggressive level significantly. The knurling is smoothish and the handle is thin; making for a head-heavy balance. The shape of the head allows for good maneuvering above the lip. Not my favorite of my vintage razors, but it's a tough little fellow.​
