August 5th
In For August. Have a couple adjustables, a stick of Arko, and then will smatter my other straights and software. Got very busy personally and with the job last week. Tons of taxi service for 2 active teenagers (2 a day band camps) and my 82 yo dad who can't drive anymore (doc visits). August and September will remain that way. Post as I can, reading always. Wish there was time to respond individually like many of you do, but alas, just doesn't always work for me. Thanks everyone for the kudos and compliments on images and shaves from the ones I couldn't catch in the July 30DC thread.
My No Buy July....fared pretty well. I did fail though as I purchased the 2019 30DC LE brush and the 30DC Stirling LE 'Blood on Steel'. Just didn't want those to get away. There was also a July 31st purchase from Wild West Brush Works....a blank custom handle....also didn't want it to vanish forever....many of his resin designs are short supply one offs. But...there were no new razors purchased (didn't stop me from drooling and searching!). New hardware acquisitions....few and far between going forward. Pretty content with the April/May/June overspending......
Today's Shave:
Proraso PS Red
PAA Doppelgänger Black Label SS (Homage to Sauvage)
30DC LE 2019 Synthetic
Merkur Progress
Gillette WS
PAA Doppelgänger Black Label AS
3 Pass DFS+. Excellent shave today. The Merkur Progress is from the TSD June 2019 Fathers Day raffle. Quite an awesome razor. Hefty, and infinitely adjustable. About my only drawback with it...the top design makes it tough for directly under the nostrils. But, no worries, almost every DE makes me reach for a kami to get that area touched up
.
PAA's CK6 Doppelgänger Black Label and
@jtspartan 's 30DC brush...easily created oodles of slickness for a wonderful aroma 3 pass shave. No nicks, cuts, weepers.
Finished off with the matching AS....smelling great, feeling great, hope everyone here has a Fabulous Monday!
