  3. OCtober with the FAT

    October 18

    Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb
    Blade - CVS Carbon Steel SE (3)
    Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Brush -Jayaruh #230
    Post - Alum

    Third shave with the OCMM and CVS carbon. It's Friday so out comes the FAT and the JR230 had the privilege of turning it into its usual fine lather. Very slick and protective and the three passes were smooth as silk and produced nothing but a perfect shave. Short and sweet - both the shave and the report! Hope you have plans for a fun and productive weekend - or a fun weekend where you do nothing because you don't have to!!

    ***EDIT - I had to add the new wooden lather bowl to this set. It's absolutely necessary once I happened to glance at amongst my stash. Wow! It's like this bowl was meant just for this set even though it was actually for the Polish Consul aftershave/cologne set.

    A rainy morning as befits the season and, consequently, no antique market!
    Which prevents me from uselessly hunting for pogonotomic findings.

    Of course, apart from women, parties, glider flights, a trip to Paris on my Lear (the plane, not the king!) for an aperitif, some shopping on Savile Row and Jermin St ... there is not much left in the life of a retired gent

    Shaving? Big deal ...
    I've been doing it for a lifetime: it's not big news! And not even exciting.

    However, as a matter of fact, there was something new: I found out Rapira against the grain, despite the sweetness of the Maggard, is not a blade for me...
    But I must use up my razor blades: too many on the shelf!
