I wonder how it would work with Clubman Shave Cream(the can) or the Central Texas Soaps "Grandpa's Barbershop".
I was just thinking, since they ARE powdery(the can more so than the Grandpa's Barbershop soap)I'll stick with the original plan-the Special Reserve.
Just July 2019 July 22 Razor - Gillette New LC Delta Echo Edition Blade - (3) Soap - Stirling Iced Pineapple Brush - The Moreau - Badger/Boar in Mesquite Post - Alum It's Menthol Monday! In spite of the temperatures being in the low 80s today menthol sounded like an excellent idea. I have a shave left on the Voskhod in the New LC so out came the Stirling Iced Pineapple along with the new hybrid brush. The knot on this thing is incredibly dense with the mixed badger/boar and I took my time loading it up. The payoff was a really rich and creamy lather and plenty of it. Three passes and I still squeezed out enough for several more shaves. The feel on the face of this brush is quite nice as well with its scritchy softness. I need to invent a word for that. Hmmmmmmm. Scroft? Nah....I'll keep working on it. Anyway, three passes to another BBS and the scent of the Iced Pineapple made me want to keep going. Really nice stuff. Fun fact - I was just looking at the list of events in the Lou for the coming week and noticed that Alice Cooper is going to be here on Thursday. Really?! He's still touring?! Here's hoping he doesn't go down with a broken hip! I may have to so some pickups from that concert just to see what Alice Cooper fans look like in 2019. Have a great Tuesday!

Yeah, I've tried like a dozen different blades in the ABC razor. Nothing shaves perfect in it. Really difficult razor for me (the 'only' difficult razor). When I tried out one of Scott Dalton's straights years ago I got less difficult shaves, which shows that the ABC, at least for me, is the most difficult razor I've handled so far. It's a skin shredder.
I really enjoy Paul H Films' videos. I just decided to burn some cash and ordered a 'new old stock' of "The Spoiler" 10-pack off of ebay. I'm looking forward to trying these in the finicky ABC razor.
