Saturday, February 25 Day Seven MWF~~PL8~~Red-Injun 101~~Vintage YSL M7 Always a pleasure to wield the Böker Red-Injun No. 101. Keen edge and ergonomically correct for my hands. The MWF keeps chugging along and together with the PL8, made for some super suds. I still bloomed it whist showering; that's my modus operandi...and proud of it. Along with: 1) Fast 'n Loose lathering 2) Having no regrets about making too much latherFinished with the first Oud fragrance marketed to the west.
February 25, 2023 Cobra Classic Feather Professsional Simpson CH2 Synthetic Mitchell’s Wool Fat Speick After Shave After watching @Primotenore wielding his Cobra Classic while waxing poetically about the shave, I was inspired to break mine out this morning. After loading the MWF like is 90 past due and taking my time to develop a wonderful rich lather, I proceeded with the shave. The Snake delivered a wonderful smooth drama free shave as expected. I might dig out the Asylum RX for tomorrow's shave. I find it to be a much, much more aggressive razor.
Hmmm…I counted just now. 17 pucks/tubs/creams/sticks in the den rotation. 10 are 3x milled. I’m surprised I have 7 left that aren’t.
Hmmm…maybe SWMBO is in the minority. I recommend a healthy dose of the splash for church tomorrow….perhaps you will get another opinion there.
Truer words have never been spoken. SWMBO has only had 3 overtly negative opinions on any scents. 1. Stirling Gentleman (“that smells like A$$, get rid of it”) Result? outright banned. Moved on the soap and splash 2. Clubman (“What is THAT?”) Result? Drano. 3. Stirling Mountain Man (“It smells feminine”) Result? Moved splash. Kept soap, but quickly apply another splash right after. 20 year anniversary coming up this summer? Not a coincidence…
I picked up a free sample of the stuff a few years ago at the Maggard meet up. Maybe just a bad sample, or just my nose. The dominant scent that I got was rubber. Tires, belts, hoses, etc. That and the other petroleum products. Not much if any leather, oakmoss, or other notes purported to be in there. Just...eau de parts counter. The smell mechanics go home and wash off at the end of the day. Just grateful that I didn't have to pay to find out.
So we find that Midnight Stag and Clubman are Kathy's two favorites, right Charlieeeee(HAHHH, long lunng breath)?
February 26, 2023 Asylum RX Feather Professsional Brad Sears Synthetic Mitchell’s Wool Fat Speick After Shave Happy Sunday Everyone. I pulled out the Asylum RX for a go this morning. For me this razor feels on the verge of giving me good cut throughout the shave. Fortunately, I only had several weepers this morning. Loading and lathering the MWF was much easier this morning with blooming. A nice splash of Speick and I am ready for the day ahead. Have a great day everyone.
