Saturday, May 25 MdC Original~~Semogue TSN Final Edition 1/50~~Cooper MonoBilt/Voskhod Needed to change things up for today's shave, so I cracked open a brand-new tub of Martin de Candre. Discovered the dented lid... Thankfully, the soap is a fantastic as I remember. The lavender is beautiful and the quality of the soap is every bit as good---if not better than the ETHOS. When you factor in this tub is 200g of really hard soap vs. 127.57g of very soft soap...well you do the math.
Fantastic Shave Joseph. The MdC lids just seem to dent on their own. I bought the MdC Lavender in a bowl. When I finish it I will transfer the Vetiver and then the Lemon as I complete each one. The Original and the Fougere are my two favorite MdC scents.
May 25, 2024 Wolfman Bronze Guerrilla (0.84mm gap) Gillette 7 O’clock Black Thäter Boar Master Soap Creations Frosted Bay Rum Dehn El Oud Malaki Happy Saturday Everyone! It is a very messy and stormy day here in the ATL. The sort of day that it is nice to just hang around the house. Another fantastic shave this morning. I find both the 0.69mm and 0.84mm base plates deliver very smooth shaves. The 0.84 mm plate might be a touch more efficient. I went with the Oud Malaki full strength this morning. Ten minutes after application, Swati walked by and gave an unsolicited huge thumbs up. That just goes to show she is a woman of good taste in recognizing a good scent and condemning Clubman
I think it will be a 3017 target soon. I remember how big of a dent you made in the brain bowl over 30 days.
I will admit I was a little concerned she would not like it at all. She simply said "very nice, you should wear that more often". Huge win and thank you for the recommendation.
awesome set up Joseph.dented lid means it has to go..how many shaves do you predict it will last?.just curious,i have the agrumes version..

From my experience I would guess between 70-100 daily shaves. The soap gets much soft with daily use with usage per shave going up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It last for ever in a rotation since the soap stays very hard. With daily use it gets much softer. My MdC Fougere lasted 119 shaves while the Orginal lasted 79 shaves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Since we're gettin' goofy here, let me report that last week-end, there were numerous UFO's spotted over the Dent house. Or so the Dent family thought. It turned out they were golf balls being hit from Valhalla, at the PGA Championships.in Louisville. They were identified as soon as they were thought to be UN-identified.
MdC is great stuff and the Fogere is my favorite. I have rose in the brain bowl but saddly the scent has long since dissapeared.
I got a small nick, 'dent' in the edge of this Ed Brice blade, I wonder if this due to a shaving similar to what inhabits @Primotenore shave den and dented his MDC? So yesterday I broke out the stones and restored the edge. I have not done more than a touch for years so I was curious to see if I could still hone a razor. Fortunately, the edge was fantastic . I celebrated with some super stank, Montale never fails make our entire neighborhood smell great. Tomorrow I will resume my 3017.
I looked at the box and sure enough, there was damage consistent with the dent. What size is that Kent? BTW, I pulled the trigger on that BK8.
