Oh no....I described my shave in the wrong thread. Well, now that you ask me, I may have to 3017 the Albion 1925 brush....knot just came loose from the handle. I'll work on it, but I do have 8 others.
Aaaah, I'm not an everyday user of the same brush. By the way, I just took advantage of a brief Italian Barber sale, and ordered a new brush.
Glad you got a new brush, but, again, "3017" refers to using up a software product, i.e. soap, aftershave. Not your hardware, that's reserved for your 30DC thread, using ONE product for 30 straight shaves, and that can include your brush. I wonder how many shavers do that anymore. That was my standard fare and will always include challenges of any kind in my shave routine. So that is doesn't BECOME ROUTINE.
Oh ok....thought it was using up ANYTHING shave-related. I probably haven't contributed much to the 30DC thread, as I don't see myself using one product for 30 strsaight shaves, ALTHOUGH(and I just thought of this)I've used my Gillette DisposeABLE razors all the time(course not the same ONE, but the same TYPE.)
That soap will soon be gone. I have been using MWF exclusively over the last month or so. I have a pretty busy week ahead. Perhaps I can get back to taking photos and posting after the New Year.
Well, I wss all set to use it and it suddenly turned around in my hand and I dropped it. Right, maybe I did have a part in it.
Tuesday, December 27 Arko~~CH2~~Cobra Classic/Feather~~Nasomatto Duro Day 34 Say what you will about Arko's scent, there's no arguing its lather ability. We're at the end-stage of my Arko 3017 Challenge. Truth be told, Arko was my first travel soap. Used a Wee Scot. It was a wee small. I eschewed using alum and simply made sure my paws were dry. No mishaps, just a very nice shave. Nasomatto Duro to finish.
I’m not sure how I missed this thread, but I’m just discovering the term 3017. I’ve been applying the principle (mostly) after I realized my soap collection was getting way out of hand. For several years I’ve used then “ in rotation,” but now I single ones out of the herd that look the lightest and use them daily until they’re dead. It’s a bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to tubs I’ve been using for five years.
Wednesday, December 28 Day 35 Arko~~CH2~~Cobra Classic/Feather~~YSL M7 AS This is one stubborn soap. Despite my best efforts, it is hanging on to life by a thread. The Feather blade was rough. I used it---then tossed it. Some stanky relief from one of my most favorite stank juices: YSL M7.
