April 2nd Cooper MonoBilt w PermaSharp (1) APShave SynBad / Poculi Fine Platinum Classic SS Thayers Shulton Old Spice Followed the leads of my friends Joseph and Keith and went with the Shulton OS today. This is my last bottle of the original AS juice (besides the OS Lime). Such an iconic product that is a favourite of both myself and Mrs Spartan. Do I think this might be a little weaker than my other 2 bottles I’ve used? Perhaps, but awesome nonetheless. The MonoBilt? For the win… Take care all.

Wednesday, April 3 XPEC~~Vie-Long~~MMOC Clog-Pruf/Gem~~St. Johns Cutlass Where is this year going??? The Vie-Long is super-sumptuous. It delivered the XPEC lather like it was a furry, little bunny. The MMOC needs the proper angle to work best. I found it. The Cutlass stank is atypical for a West Indies product. It smells... Very nice.
April 3rd Cooper MonoBilt w PermaSharp (2) Omega Pro / Poculi beehive Fine Platinum Classic SS Thayers Shulton Old Spice As usual, I’ve been loving the MonoBilt this week. In my (occasionally) humble opinion, it is simply one of the great shavers from the last century. Take care all.

The Vector with the Protouch blade is a forgiving razor that still delivers a very close shave. Take care and have a great day.
Thursday, April 4 XPEC~~Hucklaration B5~~Gillette New LC/Sharp Star~~Nasomatto Duro Winter's back! Needed some warmth, so the XPEC was followed with a wonderful, cold-weather stank, Duro.

April 5, 2024 Blackland Vector Kai Captain Protouch MG Alpha Outlaw Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Shave Soap Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Principe Real Aftershave Happy Friday Everyone. Whew what a week. I had a fantastic shave to start the day. This soap is fading fast and should be done by the end of next week. Take care and have a great day.
Friday, April 5 XPEC~~Declaration Grooming B14 Washington~~Gillette New LC/Sharp Star Finished the week strong. The XPEC continues to impress. The massive B14 knot delivers an enormous amount of rich, wet and slick soap to the kisser. Last shave with this blade, although I could have pushed it for a few more shaves. IMO, not worth the risk. Not pictured is my stank du jour: St. Johns Indian Gold Cologne.
April 5th Cooper MonoBilt w PermaSharp (4) Omega Pro / Resin Fine Platinum Classic SS Thayers Shulton OS Lime Another wonderful shave this morning. This Shulton Lime is awesome. I feel very fortunate to have acquired a NOS bottle for a good price a few years ago. A few shaves left in the soap. It keeps hanging on.
April 6, 2024 Blackland Vector Kai Captain Protouch MG 30DC LE Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Shave Soap Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Chiado Aftershave Happy Saturday! Another excellent shave to start the day. I get spooky close shave with the Vector while never feeling like I am about to be bitten. Off to lunch with Swati and Maya. Take care and have a great day.
Saturday, April 6 XPEC~~TSN X LE~~2011 Mühle R41/Weber Bulldog/Personna 74 Even with a super-smooth blade, such as the Personna 74, the R41 exposes it in such a way, danger lurks around every corner. For some...not for Primo. Great shave.
