    I can not remember the last time I used the Parker Variant.

    Since I was lucky enough to be included in the pass around of the newest invention of @twhite Tom White (a really neat custom pair of adjustable razors) I figured I should get reacquainted.

    Stirling Piacenza - YUP!
    Stirling Tuxedo - My most used brush
    Stirling collapsible paddle bowl - gotta be careful not to over aerate
    Parker Variant - wide open, but I remember being afraid to do so.
    Personna Blue - not great performers for me, they will go 2 or 3 shaves, but I only use them once.
    Stirling Piacenza Aftershave Splash - YUP!, from The Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks

    Totally comfortable. Went my my normal 3.5 passes, 'on pattern'. There are a couple of spots I'll need to re-adjust my pattern the next time. I knew it, but y'all missed it (as if you care).

    Plenty time to get my adjustables game-on in time for the big event.

    Next up, my new Gillette Slim from the Raffle and generosity of donor @Tommynick.

    I will tell you what my nose tells me about this. Osaito falls into a White Floral/Aquatic/White Musk category. Very nice scent. I would recommend sampling first but it's got a good mass-appealing scent to it. The scent is mostly linear with the opening having a rush of intense-dry white florals, like a kind of light fog of natural pear-like sweetness and the aquatic comes right behind it followed by the misty musk. It settles together in mere moments and stays consistent the rest of the way through. It's a quality scent. Good if you like the note profile I laid out.

    A good relaxing shave. The Model T delivers a carefree and smooth shave. Almost a year in and no troubles at all with the razor. Still tight and working as it should. A wonderful evening and shaves to all...

    Thanks Tim. TBH, I practically stole this. It came with a metal storage box and a gillette fatboy to boot!! I was ecstatic.
