October 13, 2023 Blackland Tradere OC Gillette Nacet Simpson CH2 Synthetic WSP Barbershop SV Felce Aromatica Happy Friday at last. This splash and soap are sinking fast. With luck I will have the soap gone within the next 20 shaves or so. Have a great day and take care.
Day 62 ‘34 Aristocrat w Polsilver Omega Pro/ Brass & Walnut Asylum Colonia combo Thayers A very nice shave. This original OC TTO is more smooth than efficient, but that is more than ok. Have a great weekend all.
Saturday, October 14 AoS Unscented~~SOC Taj Resin~~Cooper MonoBilt/Wilkinson Chromium~~Royall Spyce I guess you can say that I am 3017'ing this bottle of AoS Madison. I am also going to "focus" on the Cooper. I have not gotten a shave sans weeper in a while with this razor, so that's my goal. The SOC had no issues loading the "no-longer" AoS cream. It, like the lemon and rose before it, has dried to a very solid soap. I put a few drops of the Royall Spyce on the top and guess what it smelled like A paint from Sherwin-Williams. Funnily enough, on my skin afterwards, a nice, pleasant scent. Whodathunk?

October 15, 2023 Karve “D” OC Gillette Nacet PAA ShaveRite 210 with Maggard Boar WSP Barbershop SV Felce Aromatica Happy Sunday Everyone. We are up and moving early this morning since we are meeting Maya at my Mom’s place. I know Mom will be thrilled to see Maya. I had a great shave this morning. The Karve OC is just a fantastic razor that just flat works well for me. Take care and have a great day.
Sunday, October 15 AoS Unscented~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic Badger~~Cooper MonoBilt/Light Brigade~~West Indies Bay Rum Much better technique today. I will stick with the Cooper and the AoS soap/balm until the Mike's crew is ready.
Day 63 ‘34 Aristocrat w Polsilver APShave Flattop/ Sapele Asylum Colonia Historic Embargo The donut hole is starting to widen. Not close yet, but the end is in sight. Literally.
October 16, 2023 Karve “D” OC Gillette Nacet Shavemac D01 Flat Top WSP Barbershop SV Felce Aromatica Happy Monday I guess. As I get older the weekends seem to get shorter and shorter.

Monday, October 16 AoS Unscented~~Simpson D3~~Cooper MonoBilt/Gillette Platinum~~St Johns Bay Rum While I didn't get a weeper, I did get a nick. Right on the left jawline. The Gillette Platinum blade is über-sharp.
I have a solution...it is about 5 years away for me. Then everyday will be a weekend... Agree 100%. My favourite modern DE, to be honest.
Day 64 Cooper MonoBilt w Astra SP (1) Omega Evo / Burl & Resin Asylum Colonia SS & AS Thayers OCtober is definitely my favourite shaving month focus. Switched to the MonoBilt this morning. What a fantastic shaver. @Primotenore , it doesn't need a super sharp blade, imho. An Astra green works just fine. Have a great evening all.

@Keithmax, @Bama Samurai, and I just wrapped up our annual strategic planning session. The highlight of the trip, of course, was our visit to The Piggly Wiggly in Gurley, AL. We snagged some Piggly Wiggly t-shirts from their haberdashery aisle (the shirt rack was conveniently located next to their signature pork rinds and boiled peanuts), and we also cruised around town (aka the Gurley Tour). Yes, we are Gurley Men. @Paul Turner Gurley's only 16 hours away. It is definitely worth the trip.
