Wow, Jim! You have some beautiful gear there. I can't wait to see how it performs for you. What knot will you set in the handle?
PM your address to me and I'll send you one. If you are scared just say you are scared. We are all friends here and will not think bad of you.
Friday evening April 26 - Rule shave #30 - Whee! Delta Echo refurbished Gillette Fatboy on 4 / Rapira Swedish Supersteel (2) Simpsons CH2 Chubby Synthetic Bristles brush MWF/Kent in beechwood tub Alum and Polar Ice Booster splash My last shave was Tuesday morning, so I had 3 1/2 days stubble to slice through. Two quick passes did it very nicely, bringing me back to cleanshaven with no drama. I finished out my Rule today, and did a full Fat Friday to boot with The Fat, a Chubby brush, and the Fatboy razor. I will use the Fatboy for two more shaves because I have one lonely Rapira Swedish Supersteel blade left to use up, but I will change to Arko to get a little Arko April in and will probably switch to my APShaveCo Flat Top for a bit of a change in brushes too. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Thanks, Charlie! I'm hoping to remain patient and wait for Maggards to release their SHD badger bulb. Patience is not one of my virtues. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Thanks for the kind words, Danny! I didn't shave today, but tomorrow it will be either my Dovo shavette or my Henckels Friodur. I am leaning toward the Friodur.
Had a great shave today with Trumper's violet. I bought this for the bowl (cheap,) expecting the worst from the soap because of the experience I had with the rose. It surprised me and turned out to be a pretty good soap. Somewhere I have a puck of almond that I still haven't tried, too.
