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.
Day 71 Karve OC ‘C’ plate/ PermaSharp SynBad / Poculi Asylum Colonia combo Thayers MonoBilt to NEW to Karve. Fave to fave to fave. I love OCtober… The Colonia focus is nearing its end. Less than 10 left, I feel confident saying.
October 26, 2023 Blackbird Ti OC Gillette Nacet Alpha Shaving Outlaw WSP Barbershop Santa Maria del Fiore Lozione Dopo-Barba Happy Thursday or better yet Friday Eve. This week has gone by pretty quickly. I just might be on the verge of figuring out this razor. Take care and have a great day.
Thursday, October 26 AoS Unscented~~Vie-Long Beehive~~Feather DX/Professional I think you can get an idea how much soap is remaining. Don't know the actual weight. Moving slowly as we reach the final stretch. The DX is a nice tool. Easy to wield and with the right blade---formidable. No mishaps with today's shave. Steadily working through the AoS Balm. Full speed ahead.
Day 72 Karve OC ‘C’ w PermaSharp (2) Omega Pro/ Resin Asylum Colonia SS & AS Thayers Such a great razor. Perhaps not as smooth as its safety bar cousin, but still a quality tool. I’m trying to finish the splash at about the same time, I will need to use it somewhat regularly this next week or so. Have a great evening all.
I have a small Culmak and it is the nicest knot of all the brushes I own. I am inspired by users so I it will make an appearance.
I am back to work on the tub of TOBS, it is lasting way longer than expected. I am getting near the bottom but the scooping strategy means still no donut of death. The razor and brush line up for this week: This week was boar week. Hidden behind the tub of TOBS is the iconic Omega Pro, and next to it is a Zenith boar, Heritage Collection, and my Jason Boar . Going round the circle the razors were a Fili 13, Snail Forge, 2013 R41 and a Mastro Livi. I usually don't put my aftershaves in the picture of my stanks because I usually use something neutral. In the summer I usually use Proraso but when the weather turns chilly Small Batch Shave Tonic Winter Reserve is my go-to A/S
October 27, 2023 Blackbird Ti OC Gillette Nacet 30DC LE WSP Barbershop Santa Maria del Fiore Lozione Dopo-Barba Happy Friday at last. It has been a week for sure. The BB OC delivers a fantastic shave if I do my part. I am not sure it will every be an automatic razor since it seems ready to bite me at all times. Take care and have a great day.
Day 73 Karve OC ‘C’ plate/ PermaSharp (3) SynBad / Poculi Asylum Colonia Thayers JOHS Tobacco Bay Leaf Awesome hardware and software. Awesome results. Have a great night all.
Thank you Jason. I decided against drinking last night. In retrospect an adult beverage would have been a fantastic idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
