Wednesday, March 6 AoS Sandalwood~~Hucklaration B5~~Feather DX/Schick Proline~~St Johns Indian Gold Y'all can clearly see that I have quite a few shaves remaining with the AoS. Thankfully, it's a wonderful product. Boys, I am officially out of shape with my Feather DX. This sucker stuck in my skin on an upward pass, right at a skin fold. That'll teach me not to skin stretch. That it didn't bleed is either a miracle, or I have severe hardening of the arteries. The St Johns is a powdery stank. SWMBO approves.
Another one bites the dust! This tub of Striling is official done. An enjoyable soap but not on the same level as my last 3017, tallow Tabac. For the coup d'grace I went some big hitters: A Varlet brush, a big Grim Butcher 8/8 blade and capped if off Kouros. An epic shave and a perfect ending.

Congrats Keith! The acquisition of a new timepiece would be appropriate to mark this momentous occasion.
March 7, 2024 Asylum Injector Razor Thäter Synthetic Schick Proline Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Shave Soap Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Chiado Aftershave Happy Thursday. Another excellent shave to start the day. I will be moving onto another razor tomorrow. Have a great day and take care.
Thursday, March 7 AoS Sandalwood~~Rubberset 400/3~~Gillette New LC/Sharp Star~~Royall Spyce I really enjoy the ergonomics of the Rubberset handle. The knot has mucho backbone, but isn't too scritchy. Fresh Sharp Star in the NEW led to an easy, non-eventful shave. Royall Spyce is in no way a clone, or dupe of the Shulton.

March 8, 2024 Supply Company V2 SS with ● ● plate Brad Sears Synthetic Antica Barberia Boar Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Shave Soap Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Principe Real Aftershave Happy Friday Everyone. This week has gone by very quickly. At least I have been productive. Since I this soap will be my next 3017 target, it will moved to wider container to more conductive with the "fast 'n loose" lathering method. Take care and have a great day.
Friday, March 8 AoS Sandalwood~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~1958 D3 Gillette Adjustable/Sharp Star~~Royall Muske You know what soap I used... The Fatboy was...well, Fatbulous. The Sharp Star was stellar. The Royall Muske was regal.
I leave tomorrow for a visit to the west coast of the USA. Little bro has a visiting professor gig in LA so LA and Las Vegas. I will post a picture of the new timepiece as well as my travel kit. But this is to celebrate my completion of the prior puck, TABAC!
Saturday, March 9 AoS Sandalwood~~Simpson D3 SiLVERTiP~~Ralf Aust~~Dominica Bay Rum For a shaver, who doesn't pick up his straights as often as he perhaps should, today's shave was excellent. Keen edge; good prep and a light touch were the key factors. King of Bay Rums to complete this fine shave.
March 9, 2024 Supply Co SE Semogue C3 Galahad Schick Proline Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Shave Soap Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Principe Real Aftershave Happy Saturday Everyone. A change of pace the Supply Co. SE. This razor is perfect for someone transitioning from cartridge razors. It is almost impossible to get a nick even while delivering a great shave. For this reason, it would also make a great travel razor. Maya is visiting for the weekend so we are looking forward to watching the University of Kentucky basketball game later this afternoon. Take care and have a great day.
Sunday, March 10 AoS Sandalwood~~Simpson Emperor 3~~Feather AS-D2/Sharp Star~~C.O. Bigelow Bay Rum Sorry @clint64 I stole you SOTD model... My pictures have been fairly plebeian as of late. Not so, the shaves. Everything clicked today.
No worries at all. There are only so many ways to take a photo of a razor and brush. At least you picked what is one of my favorite razors
