October 8, 2023 Tatara Masamune OC Feather Tatara/Semogue Boar WSP Barbershop SV Felce Aromatica Happy Sunday Everyone. A wonderful chamber of commerce fall morning here in the ATL. Feeling the need to change things up, I pulled out the Tatara Masamune OC for a few shaves. Most of the time, I use this razor with the SB so it was nice to give the OC plate a run. Everything played well together providing an automatic smooth shave to start the day. Have a great day and take care.
Congrats Joseph! Another 3017 in the books! I'm currently knocking off my stockpile of Astra SP blades and a bottle of Fine L'Orange Noir aftershave while I wait very patiently for you miserly latherers to begin the Mike's 3017.
Day 58 Gillette New Improved Bostonian w PermaSharp APShave 2 Bed / MrEE Aluminum Asylum Colonia Thayers Myrsol Lemon I didn’t shave over the weekend, I winterized the RV and the lake spot. The NI easily took care of the 72 hours worth early this morning. I Did nick my neck, which is very rare these days.
October 10, 2023 Feather AS-D2 Feather PAA Shaverite 210 with Mix Knot WSP Barbershop SV Felce Aromatica Happy Tuesday Everyone. I didn’t shave yesterday so I really needed a shave the morning. Everything played well together providing a smooth shave. Take care and have a great day.
Thank you, Charlie . I must admit, I’m not usually one for cases, but I think the Elevator case is pretty cool too.
Tuesday, October 10 Crabtree & Evelyn Mysore Sandalwood~~Simpson Tulip 3~~UK Gillette Red Tip/Wilkinson Chromium The C&E is the old formulation. Quite nice, but needed some bloom-time. Rock hard and difficult to load. The SS from England is slightly more blade-forward than its American cousin. Decent shave.
Day 59 New Improved ‘Bostonian’ w PermaSharp Omega Evo/ Burl&Resin Asylum Colonia combo Thayers The New Improved is a nice shaver. I prefer a few that came right after it, but it does the job. I love the art deco styling too. Hey… Is that the tub bottom I see? Have a great night all.
Sunday I finally killed off that stick. 77 shaves in all. Moved right along to this tube of Dettol Fresh cream. Not great, but pretty good stuff. The main thing going for it is that I can buy it locally here in Indy. To keep things moving along at a good clip, I'll be using this newish Turkish boarasaurus for the duration. I've been puting off breaking it in. Time to get on it.
