Great report and photo Blair.

Thank you Charlie. As she told me this milestone calls for something sparkling which I took to mean diamonds. We will take care of the gifts after tuition payments next month.

06/11/2019 - Shave #5.5 for June

Oneblade Synthetic Shaving Brush
Salsa Bowl / Timeless Lather Bowl Scuttle
Stirling Sharp Dress Man Soap & Aftershave
Voskhod Blade
Circlette – Ladies Razor

I broke focus this morning but will pick it back up in the morning. I just had to try out the Circlette.

Off the bat I have to admitted that is is not a bad razor. It does take some getting used to. I would not want it for an everyday driver but a fun little razor to use every now and then. You just keep it flat on your face as possible and it let glide through the Stirling. It was not a BBS but a very acceptable shave.

I did not notice it but when I bought it one of the end plates was missing but that does not affect the performance of the razor.

Alum was just noticeable and I finished the shave off with some Sharp Dressed man aftershave. SDM and a ladies razor, what is not to love. If anyone out there would like to try this razor let me know.

Stopped by a flea mall yesterday and picked up a Gem razor and a few other things that I will share a little later.

Beautiful day in the Heart of Dixie. I got my grass cut this morning and I am burning vacation days this week. Y’all have a great Tuesday!

June 11th
Prewar Tech w Polsilver (3)
Omega Pro/ Poculi Beehive
B&M Seville
Thayers
CL Gratiot League Sq AS

A shave and a resulting post all in the same morning! Sarcasm intended.
Another day with the humble Tech and another 3 pass shave with good results. Not perfection, but more than acceptable. Love the scent of the Seville and I always get nice lathers with it. I feel I haven't reached for it enough, and I have no idea why. The GLSq has always paired nicely with it as well. The Omega's tips are splitting nicely and I'm really starting to enjoy the shape of this beehive. It is becoming a favourite for sure.
Have a great day all!

Thank you Blair.

Great photo and shave Danny. Enjoy your day off.

Beautiful shave and photo Jason.

+1 on the Fine soaps, Keith. I have the L'Orange Noir and the Platinum and think they are very nice Dupes for scent as well. I'll get my hands on American Blend at some point too.

I see you have two Monobilts in fine shape, Terry. Very nice!

Another stunner with fine use of colours, Jim! One small weeper? Just means you smoothed a bump in your skin out today...

If you will get that room to be a finished bathroom in one week you are much faster than I am!

Great photo, Jim, and congrats on staying committed to your workout routine. Very cool.

Happy 30th, Clint!
I'm another man who definitely got the better end of the deal.

Might I ask where you got the Castle Forbes samples from Blair?

The Circlette sounds very unique, Danny. I'm not surprised you got a decent shave from it. Many on here, led by our own @Bama Samurai, reason that razors are all just blade holders in the end.
I agree, but some are better at it (and more fun) than others.

Thanks. Clint. It is so far. Hope yours is, too.

Thank you Jason.

Way to throw down the gauntlet, Charlie!

June Focus

I Coloniali~~Simpson The "Duke"~~Boker~~Cigar Aficionado AS
Plenty of I Coloniali posts going around, so I thought that I would pile on.
Just arrived from India, the Duke 3 in SiLVERTiP badger.
Quite different from the Two Band SiLVERTiP's. A bit more scrub, still no scritch.
This is my first Duke. The handle resembles the Chubby, but slightly smaller, two rings rather than one.
Beefy little brush. Feels good in the hand.
The IC always lathers well. Always has a beautiful, shiny appearance.
The Boker was...ok. Not great. More on the edge in the "what straight razor did you hone lately?" thread.
Barely a DFS today, but if I were going out or getting a picture taken, no one, except myself, would notice.
The Cigar Aficionado AS, for a $10 bottle of juice, is pretty good.
No, it's probably not going to be on a frag-head's shelf, but it did receive the coveted SWMBOSOA©
It's still available on Amazon. You could do worse...and probably have. ​
