All it takes is just a dab or two of the stuff ("Just a dab will do ya!"— Bryll Creem).

 

Nice avatar update, Bob!

 

Good shave today.

 

ah yes....thanks . That's something I nee to improve on-the art of "dabbing". Those tiny holes on the Stirling aftershaves, and on my Wind Drift help. Aqua Velva is tough to dab(for me, anyway).

 

Thanks Paul. I made a lucky score of the now discontinued Stirling Clubman. Their scents are remarkably similar.

 

Paco Rabanne...nice memories. I used to buy the women's version for my wife. Yummy.

 

lucky indeed. Like my situation with Rise Shaving Foam-they knocked out the white, red and green can to switch to the smaller red white&blue. But I still have 6 cans from my order of the former, so we can call me "Grandpappy", as I am grandfathering my remaining 6-then I'll decide what to do about the smaller newer ones.

 

My response to that is: "Use it or lose it".

Razor: Gillete 3 pc tech
Blade: Personna Platinum Reds (2)
Lather: Nivea Gel
A/S: Gillette Gel/Brut Splash On
Newspaper Date: Dec. 9,1943

A 3 pass shave: 2 WTG passes, smooth and easy on both passes, a couple weepers on the 1st pass, a little cold water took care of that. The 3rd pass was a little wetter and thinner, which allowed a lot of movement with my razor, strokes in all directions A detailed clean up produced a BBS and maybe a +. Getting closer to the fish tank. Wishing for BBSes all around.

Have fun!

 

Funny story about Lucky Tiger-when I first saw this brand, I thought it was named after Tiger Woods, bugt then my silliness and cynicism came back to earth when I saw that the company began in 1935-probably a good 30 years before Tiger Woods "began".

 

I always thought it was this

 

Is this ever good!

 

Outstanding post Kevin. I envy those who can use an SR, unfortunately I`m not one, kudos to those who can, but it is good to see you join us from time to time, glad to have you with us. With regards.

Where do you buy it. Sounds like a good product. Is it brushless or fingertip spreadable?

Thanks, Bill. I try to work in a good DE shave when the mood strikes. I enjoy them...but not quite as much as the whole SR ritual.

 

The man doesn't look like he was born in 1935.
