SOS: April 2019

I want a vintage Clubman Pinaud glass bottle like you have here in the Lilac Vegetal. It's an amazing looking vintage.

 

I haven't seen a post from billdog2 in a while. Anyone know how he's doing?

 

I PM'd him a few days ago as I was wondering how he was doing. Here's his reply:

Hi Bill, oh, i`m all right for the most part. Been going through a rough patch though. I`ve been using a Gillette Guard SE Cartridge and finishing with a Braun electric. Either my medication is getting weaker or my tremors are getting worse. I will do a post in the near future (waiting on a new razor). I am also thinking of a couple PIFs. Thank you for tour concern, God Speed to you and all the members, Bill

 

I'm sure it will!

 

Razor-Muhle R41
Blade-Astra SP
Brush- Maggard synthetic
Soap- Eleven Sicilian Lemon

Shave #1 with the Muhle R41. Went slowly with very light pressure. Frankly, I found this razor fairly easy to use and never felt it was overly aggressive. Never did I feel the threat of a nick. Is the "nastiness" of this razor overhyped? Finished with a nice BBS.

Blackland Blackbird
Polsilver SI (2)
Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Stirling Deep Blue Sea

This was my first go around with Deep Blue Sea after shave. I really can’t say that I’m a fan of this scent. SWMBO seems indifferent towards it. Don’t see it sticking around.

 

Timeless Bronze OC. Weight and exposure mean it's not the easiest razor to use but it is the most effective DE I've owned. BIC (2).

Gillette 7 o'clock Sterling Razor
Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum Blade
Gillette/21mm Synthetic Brush
Palmolive/Marvy Mix Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Elvado Wild Mint After Shave Balm

Even tho my face is still a bit irritated, I decided to try out some stuff @Shekky sent me. First the original knot on the brush I replaced with a typical 21mm synthetic. And the Marvy soap was grated together with a Palmolive shave stick. Although it produced a decent lather, it wasn't as nice as the test lather I did yesterday with a boar brush. So this will in the future will only be used with boar brushes. Was this a very slick soap, not really, but not bad. Did it give good protection, good enough. The razor, although basically a stamped Tech, was a bit light. So I loaded the handle with BB's and capped the end off with epoxy. The razor I really didn't have any problems as I did a two pass shave and got a nice smooth DFS. This would be a good travel razor if you're not worried about it being lost or forgotten.

 

Thanks Tim. The label is starting to flake off...

 

nice and simple.. nice shave..

 

Razor : Gillette popular
Blade : Gillette Wilkinson
Brush : alpha t400 boar
Soap: Mitchell’s wool fat
Post : Medicated witch hazel
A/s : Avon bay rum

Awesome shave today. This is another popular that I received around the same time as the one from yesterday that I haven’t shaved with before. This one resembles the Sheraton and I’m considering them cousins. They shave about the same but feel a little different. I like this one better.

 

Sunday SOTD

Bunny V3 razor
Maseto Shaving brush
T+S Maya shaving soap
T+S Maya aftershave​

 

sunday shave,
#77 new rfb, shark, opal brush..
arko soap, lime sec cologne..

 

Shave Plan for Boston Marathon Monday(oh yeah, lots of parades too, as it's Patriot's Day):

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(RECHARGE)in shower
shave-Rise Super Foam regular
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue

 

Mint Lime........That'd probably be quite nice for a hot, humid summer day.

 

Interesting you say that about the Stoylin.....this morning was my second go-round with it(the sampler), and I began to wonder a little about it muhself. I'll finish it off, but I'm thinking maybe it'd be more comfortable in colder weather(we have a brief warm spell here). By the way, I think the Chiseled Face could be a year-rounder, with the menthol(course there are other "warmer" ingredients).

 

LV might have been the first Clubman A.S. to come out.

 

GartBnx.....
