    March Madness & Spring Cleaning!!

    March 1

    Razor - Fatip Piccolo
    Blade - [​IMG] (1)
    Soap - Stirling Barbershop
    Brush - Semogue 620
    Post - Alum

    Well, here we are with another month underway. Looks like everyone is off to a good start and it should be a fun and informative month! I'm going all aggressive this month with my Fatip, New LC and 1914 Old. And, of course, pain sticks. I'll gravitate mostly to the pain sticks but on nights like this when I got out of work late and had a late start (had to watch the final episode of Taboo we recorded last night) I'll go to an aggressive DE. That could also include the Soviet Consul adjustable wide open as well.

    Blade for tonight is my favorite NOS blade, the Sharp Star. I received my order of 300 that has taken an unusually long time to arrive and he even included a few tucks of some other Moscow blades for free. I love my Cartel buddies. I could shave with nothing but Sharp Star and Voskhod and my growing bulk inventory of both is a testament to that. I'm at well over 800 just in those two blades and still adding. At some point Sharp Star will be unavailable and I plan on having enough of them to last the rest of my life.

    I chose Stirling as the soap as I continue to compare Stirling, Route 66 and Soap Commander. Barbershop scent with I like a whole lot more than I thought I would. SWMBO also approves highly so it's a win-win around here.

    Two passes with the highly aggressive Fatip Piccolo and a very nice DFS is the result. I skipped the last pass just to avoid irritation issues. Alum was mostly quiet so it worked. I love the way this razor works and feels. It's a bit milder than the 1914 but definitely lets you know it's in control. All in all a great start to the month!

    Looks like my next 240 blades will be in the mailbox tomorrow. More on those later as they are the "Spring cleaning" portion of my focus. Have a great night and a better tomorrow!

    Considering the scent, the lather and how it shaves, how could you not? ;)
    The soap I own is of the older formula though.

    Excellent Shave
    I made this photo last night, and I forgot to use the Myrsol this morning. The shave was still excellent in every way. The lather reminded me that B&M pre-glissant soap is top notch as well. Three drama free passes and I'm left feeling and smelling great.
    Prep: none
    Soap: B&M Lavanille
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
    Razor: Futur
    Blade: voskhod
    AS: B&M Lavanille

    I've been sending this Gada Cool Mint cream to guys all over the world, and today I wanted to enjoy a shave with it myself. This stuff lathers so easily, it smells so nice, and its menthol effect is very noticeable on the second pass. This cream also gives an extremely good post-shave feeling because of the chamomile that it contains. The Max Refreshing is also icy-cold and very soothing once you get past the little sting you get when you first slap it on. BBS with so little effort! :happy088: :happy088:
