    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Arctic Shave Butter
    GEM Flying Wing
    GEM Stainless
    CWR
    Granddad's Blend AS

    The Arctic Shave Butter is a non-lathering product. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Flying Wing with a GEM Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thank goodness we finally have something to talk about during the waiting time avoiding embarrassing silences that embarrassing silences wouldn’t be if people didn’t think they were: what’s embarrassing about keeping quiet, thinking about own’s business, doing a little simplistic introspection and meditating on the purpose of life?
    Nothing.

    But there is always the need to express your deepest thoughts with meaningful phrases:
    "Noticed the heat?"
    -No, I was distracted. Excuse me…-
    "But it’s not so much the heat as the humidity"

    Good! Finally, both the heat and the humidity have arrived, taking us out of the doubts.

    But I admit that sometimes I feel involved and I reply with sentences of the same meaning.
    -Glad there’s a floor underneath us!-
    Some people get a puzzled expression and I feel compelled to explain
    -Otherwise we’d sink all the way to China…-

    Curiously, often, the perplexed expression increases and I feel morally obliged to explain further: ‘I felt obliged to say a banality too’.

    Maybe a friend of mine was right when he said it was lucky I hadn’t gotten into the Diplomatic Service… He claimed that we would also go to war with the Vatican.

    But coming to what you’re all anxiously waiting for, here’s the obviousness of the day: ‘My shaving was great!’
    With that gear, what surprise could there have been?

    Yesterday was a day of great satisfaction: after an incredibly long time, Domenico the Plumber managed to get the spare parts for the bathroom tap: it's an incomparable feeling to turn a tap and see that the water flow varies.
    I was no longer used to it.

    And it made me think about human stupidity: why risk your life or go to jail dealing cocaine, heroin or anything else illegal when you could sell faucet parts with an identical profit and... legally?

    But, coming to the reason of my presence here, today I noticed a curious thing: the Mühle (whose construction I find impeccable and whose aesthetics are very elegant) doesn't have the same head as Edwin Jagger or Maggard: it's very similar, but somewhat rougher!
    Why didn't I notice it before? Don't ask silly questions! I was too busy to devote myself to such vacuity, of course!

    Despite the very mild blade, I sensed a roughness that wasn't serious or annoying.
    It was simply less mild than shaving with other razors.
    But, on the other hand, with a single pass and a few touch-ups, the result was really excellent.
    But it is also true that I "felt" the alum and not the alcoholic aftershave: pogonotomic mysteries...

    Last night I heard thunderstorms and this morning there is the sun, but it is not hot and the air is clear and cool, I've got a lot to do and I can't stand here wasting time with you, you bums!

    Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Wilkinson day 3
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
    Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash
    Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

    A perfect setup for such a blistering hot day - even Stirling’s mentholated pre shave soap delivers a good cooling sensation as well as lots of slickness, and does it ever soften up my tough stubble. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap buried my face in such rich, slick, icy cold lather that has a beautiful fresh. tangy lemony scent. The matching balm worked its chilly, soothing magic, and the Krampert’s Frostbite aftershave felt heavenly. The Chabrawichi cologne is from Egypt and so bloody cheap, but it’s has a lovely lemony/lavender scent. This shave was a perfect three pass BBS work of art!

    Be safe and healthy!

    Two opposites, the Dart positively screams "I'm an aggressive razor" with gobs of blade feel and audible feedback. Going ATG in my head it stumbles a little, not as bad as the Blackbird. The Fatip OCS doesn't stumble at all and cuts as close and kicks it up a notch without the drama. No shim this time.[​IMG]
