I am. Thank you! My wife and I took the dogs to a nice dog park today. Now I’m making a pot of beans to take to a buddies retirement party tonight. It’s been a great day so far.
I have yet to purchase a Fine. Funny story-very first time I saw Fine products, I got angry, claiming "Hey, Fine is cloning other scents!!". Boy, have I advanced since.
Day 22. More or less yesterday again. 3 passes and some touch ups with the straight, finished with the ball-end tech. No blood, no hot spots. The tin of Savannah Sunrise is almost gone. I'll kill it off this week, and that will be two down do far this year! Of course, I think I have another.
BIG Sunday shave: I decided to go big today. A Kent BK 12 monster load with enough Castle Forbes for 10 passes and then used this big 8/8 Friodur. It is not just 8/8 but also a little longer than standard. Took my time and had a luxurious shave. Irritation A+ Closeness A Smoothness A+ Sharpness A+ Razor: Friodur 8/8 full hollow Strop: Kanayama Brush: Kent BK12 Pre: Nivea Soap: Castle Forbes AS: Enhanced Florida Water AS, Speick ASB Scent: Penhalagon’s Hammam Boquet
26 January, MMXIX A.D. 24-26 January 1959 Gillette 195 Saint Petersburg's Finest Edge The American Treasure The John Wayne Stuff It has been a pretty good shave week. My fave simple things are performing well and making me happy. Been working and sleeping. Finally getting over an ongoing sinus issue, and am very happy about that as well. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado. Have a pleasant Sunday!
I don't comment much these days, but reading your SR path has been a joy. Glad you found your groove!
My only razors now: Ralf Aust 5/8 Frederick Reynolds 5/8 WD Sight Unseen 5/8 Magic Salon Razor Parker SRX Gillette 195 Fatip Grande Weishi 6306 Schick Type G Schick Type J After your hundredth SR shave, pull out the R41 and pretend it's a straight as far as shave routine. You'll be amazed.
