Good points, John. Do you have Seville in your Glissant samples? It is my favourite of the Glissants. If you don’t have any of the Reserve base soaps, let me know and I’ll forward one on.
Another DEcadent combo, Mark! Another stunner, Clint! Great combo! The brush is a beaut. Love the barberpole handle, Doug! You and Mark are both still rocking the Christmas decorations, I see.
DECember 30 SOTD: PAA Atomic Rocket Brush Colgate Mug Soap Gillette Toggle Stirling Unscented PSB Vintage Old Spice AS Some old..school decadence this morning, and it was a great shave. Quick and easy for a DFS. I hope everyone has a great day!
A cool photo of some very cool gear, Jim. For such a rare razor, we are sure seeing a lot of Toggles around here lately!
I have Bay Rum and Seville as Glissant samples -- enough to both let me finish out the month/year with B+M samples and see what the Glissant base is like. I don’t have any Reserve and am curious about it. It's supposed to be even slicker than Glissant plus I like the sound of the scents it comes in much better -- and they are all starting to get matching splashes too. if I do buy any B+M, I rather expect it will be the Reserve Spice and maybe the Fern and Lavender.
I have the Reserve Cool in soap and splash. I have the Spice in splash only. It is fantastic. As you probably already know, the Cool is his take on Floid Blue. I’ve mentioned previously how highly I rate the Reserve base. I’ll cut a chunk off and send it to you whenever I can get your parcel ready, and you can at least know what the base is like. You have to give it probably double the water of the Glissant base, or of most other soaps actually. I’m intrigued by the Fern, but have enough soaps for now!
Gem Clog Pruf Gem Stainless (4?) Semogue 2000 Stirling Electric Sheep Superior 70 Soap Commander Love ASB Today was my first shave in 4-5 days. I have been dealing with a bronchial infection and didn't much feel like shaving, but it got to a point where I had to do it. It was a spectacular shave and the Clog Pruf lived up to its name.
Love that brush Mark. Beautiful razor. Is this the RR Soap that was supposed to have a scent similar to Floid Blue? Great picture Jim. You seem to be really enjoying the Toggle. I hope you feel better soon.
From the looks of the photo it's similar to an USTURA (Turkish for"razor") that Andrew @Linuxguile PIFed to me last year. Good solid unit with a nice bit of heft that helps give it straight razor like handling.
I have a cake of cup soap in a VDH bowl. Works great!! The clog pruf is as much a workhorse as the OCMM. I always feel it gets under rated. Hope your feeling better.
