July 2018

July 24 - Shaving like the Fuzzter!

Razor - Gem Junior LC
Blade - (3)
Soap - Island Hopper
Brush - Omega Pro 48
Post - Alum

Third shave on the Gem Jr and Treet Carbon. Back to Island Hopper out of the Marvy mug and I went for a classic brush in my collection, the Omega Pro 48. This was my first "official" brush and I had forgotten how huge this thing is. I think I could lather my entire head with one swirl with this brush. It felt good. Soft yet with that slight boar scritchiness that I like in a brush. If it was as scritchy as a horse it would be perfect.

The blade is holding up well and gave a great shave for its third run. SE blades, of course, tend to last a bit longer and this one is doing just fine. Two passes again, touch ups again as usual, and a near-BBS result which is fine. Three very enjoyable shaves on the Gem before it gets packed up to wait on the Kampfe to join it on its way back south. Tomorrow - the Kampfe starts its final three day run at HQ.

Fat chance

 

I know I speak for everyone when I say our thoughts are with you.

 

That setup has a lot of positive attributes. As in every single thing about it. Very nice.

 

Soap Commander Fortitude. That soap will be my first official "big tub" buy from them in the not too distant future. The tub of Courage was a gift and after sampling a few I've decided Fortitude is worthy of my den. Very nice soap.

 

You know, I almost asked where you ordered that when I read the first line. Imagine my relief when I realized what it really was. That is a very cool razor he built.

 

So sorry, John. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

 

Thank you, gentlemen. Your kind thoughts and prayers are much appreciated. I expect I won't be on here much for the rest of the month, but I do very much like the general kindness and support that this group routinely extends to all its members.

 

Thank you, Jason.

 

Thank you. It was a very nice shave.
