October 21, 2023 ikon DLC OC Gillette Nacet Zenith B29 Boar WSP Barbershop Santa Maria del Fiore Lozione Dopo-Barba Happy Saturday Everyone. Another great shave to start the day. The RR Santa Maria is a nice dupe of the Santa Maria Novella Tobacco Toscano. The scent of the RR was fantastic and the comparative price even better. Take care and have a great day.
First shave back after returning from the Fatherland. Someone was looking out for me and saved me from the shavemagedon, to my secret benefactor a big thank you . As you can see I know have some back ups for tallow Tabac, I can relieve my Piggly Wiggly memories daily now. In honor of my good friend and my new cache of Tabac it was my first shave back along with a very sharp Riga razor. A classic stank in a nod to our favorite tenor. On Monday I will resume the 3017 on the tub of TOBS.
Sunday, October 22 AoS Unscented~~Declaration Grooming B14 Washington~~Heljestrand MK32 After closer examination, finishing this AoS by the end of the month will not happen. Loading such a large knot in this container proved challenging, but not as challenging as keeping the Swedish steel from drawing blood. I am going to have to dedicate a full month of shaves to my straights. It doesn't take long to get sloppy with your technique. Not pictured, my stank: Derby City Chop Shop's Small Batch Shave Tonic. Nice juice.

Swati and I had a pretty busy day yesterday so I am playing catchup this morning by posting two SOTD photos. The New SC is a fantastic razor. I really do not use this one nearly enough. I will leave it in the vanity so that I may reach for it more often. Take care and have a great day.
Day 69 Canadian NEW LC w Nacet (2) APShave SHD / Blue Resin Maple Asylum Colonia combo Thayers Ended up going the weekend without shaving. The NEW did its usually smooth and efficient job early this morning without issue. 10ish shaves left. Have a great day all.
I’m going to say there are three, maybe four shaves left. If anything remains after that I’ll put it in my scraps jar. I am really looking forward to a week with Mitchell’s and Harris!
Monday, October 24 AoS Unscented~~Semogue Mistura~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Gillette Platinum To facilitate more efficient "F&L" lathering, I have transferred the AoS into my Aesop SS bowl. The '47 SS is a desert island razor.
October 24, 2023 Feather AS D2 Feather PAA ShaveRite 210 with Mixed Knot WSP Barbershop Santa Maria del Fiore Lozione Dopo-Barba Happy Tuesday Everyone. I really enjoy using the Feather AS-D2 razor. The razor has a very narrow sweet spot and causes some people to call it mild. As @Primotenore mentioned, the AS-D2 will shave with the best when the operator does their part. Unlike some other razors operator error does not punish you with a cut or nick but just a less than perfect shave. Take care and have a great day.
Day 70 Canadian NEW LC w Nacet (3) APShave Silvertip/ MrEE LE #007 Asylum Colonia Thayers Myrsol F/Extra This is mos def my fave Gillette. So very smooth, and efficient enough. Is it perfect? The weight balance is head heavy, but I love this common bar handle regardless. Initial another OC fave tomorrow. Have a good day all.
Tuesday, October 24 AoS Unscented~~Culmak 92~~Gillette #44/Platinum The soap continues to impress. The #44 continues to impress. The Culmak ALWAYS impresses. I was impressed by today's shave. Are you impressed yet
October 25, 2023 Gillette New SC Gillette Nacet Zenith B29 Boar WSP Barbershop Santa Maria del Fiore Lozione Dopo-Barba Happy Wednesday Everyone. Another great shave with the New SC this morning. This soap is sinking fast with only 13 grams remaining. It should easily be sunk before the end of the month. Take care and have a great day.
