Anniversary SOTD OCtober 17th Leresche #34 Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (4) Anchorset IB Amici soap and AS Eight years ago today my bride and I said "I do". Wanting to stay smooth all day long I decided to make it a morning shave today. The Leresche was smooth and efficient, a very nice pairing with the 7 O'C SS. Next shave I will compare it with a Old Type Single Ring to see which is more aggressive. The Leresche was plenty efficient to pull off a two pass BBS with minor touch up. Have a great day my friends!
Even if the blade does not out last the un-stropped blade I will strop all CS blades for the Valet from this point forward.
Please decant the Veg into glass before you judge. Veg goes very well with sandalwood and Citronella scents. I have faith.
OCtober Focus on track Tabac Original & cool water B-400 Omega 98 boar knot Fatip Piccolo, Personna LB Alum, Three Leathers AS For the thrifty minded shaver - get yourself a tub of Tabac. I'm glad I enjoy the scent because this stuff last forever! Loaded one of my best boar brushes, worked the lather in a bowl, and enjoyed the slick glide and residual slickness. I used to be wary of the Fatip's biteyness. Familiarity through Focus has tamed the beast. Three passes & chin buffing now nets DFS with no errors. Aggressive geometry? Maybe but ride the cap and it's all good. Alum was cool, and very little sting from the alcohol in the blended AS. Good Shaves Y'all!
Tabac is an amazing soap, superb performance, lasts forever,smells good (IMO) . I think it is as good as if not better then any soap I own.
It's like you Focused on your shave and you got good results? Someone should start a discussion about this. We could make it a Thing!
I absolutely love Tabac. It stays out on the counter so it's always in easy reach. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
Great photo Jim. L'Orange Noir is some great stuff. Wonderful photo Perry. Very cool looking razor. Tom has some mad skills. Great setup and picture. Safe travels. I have to get me some of the Chatillon Lux Aftershaves. Great picture. Love the brush. The brush is so cool to have been made with something from the Louisville Slugger plant.
Actually, I have one on the way this very moment! Thank you! Don't forget shenanigans! Thank you, Clint!
Hmmmmm. You could almost do a dissertation on the contrast between No Variation NOVember and Decadent DECember. Think asceticism vs hedonism. The old Gnostic dichotomy applied to shaving? Anybody in? Anybody???? (crickets) If my plan for NOVember comes together (in other words, the slow boats all arrive in time) I may gain a better understanding of suffering for the greater good.
