  1. As razors go, the 51 isn’t that rare. There’s a lot of them out there. The 77 is a different story.

  7. Monday morning double redemption shave: Today is a chance for both the Oleo soap and Asylum Rx to work their back into the den.

    Olea was a flop, I loaded it like it owed me money and was ghosting my calls and texts. Thin lather but not in a good way, lacking both slickness and cushion. The Asylum Rx is competing with the Enoch to be a back up to my Cobras. The shave was rough and I had two weepers, not sure if it was the razor or lousy lather. I tend to go with the lousy lather. The Oleo is done but the Rx will get another shot.

  12. Good menthol Monday morning.
    My French Globetrotter loaded with a Feather Pro super is the way to go.
    Smooth action, clean shaving, no issues.
    Shame that you have to make a blade for this brush hog. Simply nip the ends off of a blade till it fits and go to work.

    The picture was last night due to time restraints in the morning. The blade loaded and ready for the morning job.

    Pictures don't do this mean looking tool any justice by no means, it looks foreboding to say the least.
    But I'm glad I have it here in the den.
    All
    Enjoy!

  13. Some similarities with the Clove. The blue spice is more powdery and has little staying power compared to the OS.

  14. Thank you Perry. We’re in for much the same. I’m a little tired of the monsoons that have been coming through. Just a normal rain shower will work.
