Saturday, January 6 Ethos Bay Rum~~Hucklaration B5~~Cobra Classic/Schick Proline~~YSL M7 Well, I have to say right up front, I really like the Ethos product-line. This Bay Rum is a wonderful smelling, slick and protective soap, which is very easy to lather. The B5 is a real-looker and soft---but no sacrifice in backbone. My razor choice today, is an homage to a former TSD member, who, (hopefully) is now haunting some other shave forum, wielding his middle finger---all the while winning friends and influencing people. The AC blade-loaded Cobra Classic. My blade is a fresh Schick Proline, once again, courtesy of @clint64 I shaved at around 9am and I kid you not, my neck is still smooth. Finished with the YSL M7 triumvirate.
I’ve had a great week of shaves rocking some fave software and enjoying the Canadian Rocket. A few pics: I’m ready to jump back into a 3017, though…starting tomorrow. What did I pick? The original Fine Platinum puck. See you tomorrow.
Fine Platinum. Triple-milled...check; excellent soap...check; intriguing scent...check. Sounds like a winner. How much remains is the question du jour?
Sunday, January 7 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson T3~~Cooper MonoBilt/Feather~~Burt's Bees Bay Rum The secret to Fast 'n Loose® lathering, is surface area. The Aesop SS bowl is just wide enough to allow larger knots, such as this über-stuffed Tulip, to get in there and dig up some goodness. The Cooper never disappoints, nor does the Feather (fresh) blade. Burt's Bees Bay Rum---a sadly-discontinued stank, finished the shave up nicely.
January 7, 2024 Wolfman WR1 OC with 0.61mm blade gap Gillette 7 O’clock Black Mr EE LE #004 L’occitane Cade Shaving Cream Small Batch Shave Tonic Happy Sunday Everyone. While I am getting decent shaves with this cream, it is just not very good at all. I am going to think things over. The cream might very well end up in file 13. Without being forced, there is absolutely no reason to use subpar products. Take care and have a great day.
Day 1 January 7th Supply SE w Schick Proline Simpson CH2 Synthetic Fine Platinum- Triple Milled puck & AS Thayers Back in the game with a great lather. I’ll weigh it tomorrow, but there is a lot of product left. Have a good night all!
January 8, 2024 Wolfman WR1 Ti OC (0.74 mm blade gap) with Triad Handle Gillette 7 O’clock Black Simpson CH2 Synthetic La Toja Shave Stick La Toja Aftershave Happy Monday I think. The next Wolfman up is my WR 1 OC in Ti. I got this head in 2016. I do regret not ordering it with the handle at the time. I am on the Wolfman waiting list for a matching handle. I just could not take the Cade shave cream and trashed it. I bought several La Toja shave sticks the last time I visited Barcelona. Since I mostly use the stick when I travel, I had forgotten how well the soap works. I will likely grate this stick into a container to make it easier to use. Overall a fantastic shave this morning. It amazes me how much a great soap adds to the shave. Take care and have a great day.
Monday, January 8 Ethos Bay Rum~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic Badger~~Gillette New LC/Feather~~Ard Al Zaafaran Oud 24 Hours You wanna eat through some soap? Break out your Simpson Synthetic. Day two with the Feather blade and it was sharp and smooth. I don't have a lot of clones in my stank collection, but this clone of Tom Ford Black Orchid is truly amazing.
Weighed it tonight. Happened to have a 2nd empty tub to get an accurate weight on the soap. 84g with tub. Tub is 22g. 62g of product. 2.32oz…roughly 2/3 of the original puck.
