  1. Decided. In solidarity with our friend @clint64 I am going to 3017 my puck of MWF.
  2. My first official 3017 candidate could be the aftershave I'm now grandfathering-Weekend Rodeo from now defunct Central Texas Soaps.

  3. I need the company and motivation.

    :bounce017: I am on a roll with back to back shaves. I decided to pull out the CG Everyday razor and give it a go. To me it feels very similar to the Feather AS-D2. A fantastic shave to start the day. I am off to visit my mom and take her to lunch. Have a nice day everyone.

    A couple of hotel shaves to finish off the soap

  6. The story on this survey isn't that For The Challenge leads...............it is that the other 4 are tied for second. Something has to break sometime(HAAAAH, long lung hreath).
  7. Keeping the 3017 focus going. I don’t have MWF, but in support of @clint64 and @Primotenore 3017ing theirs, I will Titanic the nearest thing I have - a 3x puck of Haslinger Schafmilch.

    And, we're off!
    This is not my first rodeo 3017'ing a puck of MWF, but it'll take some serious dedication.
    Primo's up for the challenge.
    BTW, check out my just-acquired Vie-Long. Sweeeeeet.

    Wow! Three shaves in a row. I don't think I did that for most all of 2022. The MWF really works much better for me when I use it daily. Overall another excellent shave. Off to fight the commute to work. Have a great day everyone.

    Day Two

    MWF~~Vie-Long~~1941 Gillette Ranger Tech/Polsilver SI~~Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
    Vie-Long's Silvertip Badger has very fine hair, making for a super-soft face-feel.
    At the expense of some backbone.
    So, if you want a brush that really "digs" into the soap, this isn't it.
    Still, got plenty of product in the knot and created a really great, and typical, MWF lather.
    The Ranger Tech has a small gap and only a modicum of blade-feel, but in the right hands, will shave any stubble.

    Finished with a stupendous stank.
  14. Well, as predicted in the Shave Desription thread, I made my first Titanic move just now-chucked the Central Texas Soaps* Week-end Rodeo, as I felt it came on too strong for the skin-food strength of Hub City Soaps,. That closes the books for me on Central Texas Soaps-it was a nice ride with those fellas.

    *-now defunct. The A.S. was pretty low anyway.

  15. So...you threw away your Central Texas Soap? Can't quite call that a 3017. :rolleyes005:

    3017 means using the same product EVERY shave, until it's gone.
  16. Well, there goes THAT baby. We'll see if I "finish" the Simpsons.

  17. Day 1
    A new 3017 focus. This 3x milled puck will take some time for sure.
