That reminds me. I got some NOS Durham blades to try....I have not been keeping up very well. Did the blade bank work out ok?
Thank you, Clint! If you like Stirling, this is definitely one to look at. For me, it is a terrific summer scent that I am sure works well year round.
Cool July session TSS / Ginger's Garden / Acqua di Florida Omega Pro #10098 boar brush Suribachi bowl and cool water 1959 (E-4) Gillette Fat Boy on 9 Feather Hi-Stainless blade Osage Rub, M&L Florida Water AS A quiet moment, slipped in a soothing shave session. Somewhere out there another TSD member snagged a matching tub of this soap from that Pass Around Box. Dead on scent match for the cologne, and a great performing lather every time I dig it out of the cabinet. Gave the ole brush a quick soak that left it with plenty of backbone for a non-bloomed loading. Into the bowl, then on my beard that fell without resistance to the model 195 on number nine. Three passes with no little ones under foot, so I buffed & G-Slid my way to DFS or better. No errors for the high alcohol Rub and Water to spark up. Just cooling fragrant enjoyment. Good Shaves Y'all!
July 2018 July 20 Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle (9) Blade - (2) Soap - Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic Post - Alum Fatboy Friday is is! Well, so I'm using the razor that led to the Fatboy. Price it differently back then and market it a bit more and we might all have Toggles and be searching for the rare Fatboy. Instead, it's the other way around. We'll call it Adjustable Friday and it works that way too. I went from the Blood on Steel soap to the Jeeves Bay Rum. They lather the same, of course, and provide the same great shave. The Kai blade was a bit rough on me tonight but I was hurrying a bit. Can't let the drunks wait too long out there! They need to get home! I didn't really draw blood but just some extra irritation that the alum was happy to point out. Kai, like its cousin Feather, is sharp enough to create the opportunity for a harsh result. I'll have to slow down and watch my angles a bit better tomorrow. Have a great start to your weekend.
The Cartel has no issue with your fight, as it is necessary for the proletariat to have something to focus their attention on - lest they discover the depths of the real corruption going on. While it is less stressful to your fearless leaders for you to oooohhh and ahhhhhh over cute kittens on the internet, doing the same over shiny shaving gear gives the same result. But....if it takes a fight against the powers the be to keep you from discovering that the cookies are really a cover for all of the cake we eat.....then fight! Just more cake for us!
