    The Cobra was somewhat "difficult"...ahem @wristwatchb it left its mark.
    Unlike Charlie, I won't call for a banning. User error. End of story.

    Not pictured is the Voodoo juice, iced Florida Water. Homage to @Keithmax
  2. From personal experience the “Snake” will bite.
  3. You can't ban me. I have a Piggly Wiggly shirt. :happy097:

    TGIF. Day 67 was yesterday without an accompanying pic. It was the last day of the run with the MonoBilt. From fave to fave with the New this morning. Such a smooth shaver.
    Have a great weekend all.

    AoS Unscented~~Rubberset 400/3~~Feather AS-D2/Gillette Platinum
    Seems I am actually 3017'ing a few things; the AoS cream and ASB.
    The hardened cream continues to impress. Leave it to the Rubberset to facilitate "fast 'n loose" lathering.
    The Feather gets some bad reviews saying it's too mild...:rolleyes005:
    I respectfully disagree. If you know how to find an angle, it'll shave with the best.
    New Platinum blade was smooth and sharp.
    Not pictured is my stank du jour: Nasomatto Baraonda.

  7. I agree Joseph. The Feather shaves with the best when I do my part.

    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. ​
  10. Yea, the same goes for me.

  12. 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 :smiley respect::smiley respect::smiley respect::smiley respect:. As you can see I know have some back ups for tallow Tabac, I can relieve my Piggly Wiggly memories daily now. :signs136:

    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.

  13. I'm glad you made it home safely, Keith. I'm not sure what is more beautiful, your Piggly Wigglywear or your cornucopia of tallow Tabac. You are living large indeed.

    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.

    Nice juice.

    Happy Monday Everyone. 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. ​

    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!
