  4. Great Slim shave, Andrew! My Slim belonged to my father, and is used by my youngest grandson, Nate, who likes to shave with his G-Pop.

  11. Thursday December 24,2020

    Razor: Star Lather Catcher
    Blade: Gem (1)
    Brush: Teton Zen Series “Bob Ross”
    Soap: Ethos/Oleo Dragonsbeard
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Ethos Dragonsbeard SFS
    Fragrance: Prada Luna Rossa Black


    Well my 3rd and final scent until I add more of Ethos is the Dragonsbeard V1 which was his first soap and a collaboration with Oleo using their base and Franks scent as well as his skin food complex called EOS. The scent is by far one of my favorites. Razor today was a Star Lather Catcher with a Gem blade. I used the 3D printed attachment I got recently to mimic the wedge blades it was designed for but after the 1st pass I removed the attachment as it didn’t feel it had the blade angle where the blade was designed to be used. It worked much better after removing the 3D piece and more like I remember previous shaves with this piece of shaving history. Topped off with the Maravilla 70, Skin Food Splash and some Luna Rossa Black by Prada.


    Forgive me in advance if I don’t exchange Holiday Greetings with you as my family and I don’t celebrate the Holidays. I don’t want to appear rude to your well wishes and I obviously wish you all the best. We choose to Honor Christ as our Lord and Savior differently. I hope you all enjoy time off to rest and be with family/friends safely in person or on Zoom Etc. Have a great day Everyone !!
