SoS: November 2018

ES Claymore V2 & Schick Proline #2
Maggard 30mm Tuxedo
Antiga Barbearia de Bairro
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods a/s splash

An excellent shave as the Claymore is a ferocious whisker eating razor that is supremely efficient yet has very good manners and provides a smooth feeling shave. Just let the weight do its thing and nothing but BBS is in order. No beard is safe against this beast. Love it. Have a great evening and great shaves Gents... ​

Honestly, smells like a good aged and refined Whiskey. If there is a scent in my collection that catches it a bit it would probably be Vera Wang for Men. The Clubman is a bit more rugged compared to the Vera Wang but, very similar.

 

Some mail call action today, finally landed the other Martin De Candre Soaps I've been wanting to try and Derek of WWBW did magic making a block party big brother in my favorite shape of his, just as special as the Block Party Stubby.

Razor - Gem 1914 "Little Lather Catcher"
Blade - CVS Carbon SE
Soap - Arko
Brush - The Canuck
Post - Alum

Ok, shaving gods, I hear you speaking. You said "let's go old school tonight". Right up until you picked the brush - but even then it's kind of a fit as well. Gem 1914 for the SE shave. Love it. This little SE is a very nice old razor to work with. I think I prefer it to the 1912. For the blade? Carbon steel. Old school choice. Nice. The soap? Well if we're going old school nothing says that better than the Turkish wonder - Arko. And the brush? The Canuck? My newest brush? Modern synthetic fan knot in a handmade wooden handle? Ok, I can make that work. Fans were popular back in the day and having a hand crafted brush is as good as vintage, right? Right.

Three full passes as I'm doing on all of these setups this month and the alum is quiet, the baby is in the house, and I loved every minute of this one. The 1914 is very effective and the Canuck worked the Arko into a frenzy. Great shave all around.

Need I remind everyone that tomorrow is election day? No political discussions here but the most patriotic thing I can say is GO VOTE! 'Nuff said. Have a great Tuesday.

Thanks. I went to Turtleship site to buy an anchor handle but this one caught my attention and had to have it

 

Trying the scores from the flea market yesterday. I REALLY like the ABC and the "Veg" is good stuff! Best $10.00 I've spent in a while!

Razor: C.T. Bingham, Late F. Fenney Tally Ho
Brush: Vie-Long Lord Randal Horsehair
Soap: Stirling Electric Sheep... so nice
A/S: Stirling Mountain Man
Pretty short possible window of creation of this razor... Fenney passed in 1852, Bingham picked up the Tally Ho mark at that time but sold in 1863. 155+ years old... still going strong.

Enjoy your shave!
Tom
