I bubbled up all my balsa strops with that nasty shaping device that the experts assured me would ruin all my razors. Yep, some of the same ones that say they out-hone Feather Pro Supers.
Been missing all the good food pics from you guys. Company tomorrow for grilled Ribeyes that are marinating overnight...
July 16th Martin de Candre SS - Fougère Zenith Synthetic Drew Dick Damascus Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Star Jelly Paco Rabanne pour homme Just had to finish out the week using the DD Damascus. A good number of 30DC’rs may remember I did a 30 day focus with this straight, it’s an near auto pilot shaver for me now. DFS+ results in the usual 2.5 passes. Zilcho crimson. No baby chasing this morning, all I had in front of me was a 6 hour drive. Excellent MdC bowl lather from the Zenith synthetic, added a couple drops of glycerin to help with the face feel. MdC has reviews all over the place, it’s very nice/excellent, IMO, don’t regret the purchase, but now I’ve killed that itch, I’ll be very judicious with expenditures like that for a soap again. So many artisans products beat this one at 1/3 the price if not less. My usual PAA Star Jelly after finishing, followed by an absolute favorite enabled purchase by @Primotenore, paco rabanne’s pour homme. One of the top fougère fragrances for my nose. Hope everyone had a great Friday!
I'm interested in trying one out through the pass around and to hear your thoughts on yours when you get it in. Sounds like fun.
