Chiseled Face Civet~~Simpson "The Hive"~~Cobra Classic/Schick Proline~~Shulton Old Spice AS
Fast 'n Loose has nothing on my new lathering technique.
Picked up 3 bottles of vintage OS.
95% Full Burley Cologne

This NOS aftershave.
Scored a real deal.​

Congrats Joesph. Nice vintage juice acquisitions. Mos Def.

Chiseled Face Civet~~Kent BK8 Silvertip~~Wolfman WR1 .74 Ti/Sharp Star~~Lilac Vegetal
This blade was on its last leg. Got a clean shave, but required some buffing.
The Civet will soon be history. I will weigh it tomorrow.
If you're looking for strong backbone in your brushes, the Kent is not for you. It is, however, supremely soft
and if you're adept at creating lather, it gets the job done with aplomb.
Even after cleaning my mug of soap with some Thayer's, the Veg delivered its scent with some refreshing sting.​

Congrats on the score.

Maybe not my favorite but it ranks up there, great juice.

I was planning on continuing my superlative steel theme but I caught a cold and then had some sinus issues. I am better now but while the sinuses were bad I went with DE shaves.

Monday pre-sinus problems I did use one of my superlative razors, Takahana Feon, my first JWest razor. She takes and holds a fantastic edge, perfectly ground and she lie completely flat on the stones for the rare times I touch up this razor.


For my DE shaves I used my 2011 R41 and a Joris. These are my two favorite DE razors. Since the 3017 thread is about finishing off product this week marked the end of my Cade aftershave balm. I will repace it when the weather turns cold again. I am slow making my way to the bottom of the Arlington but there are still a number of shaves to go.

Chiseled Face Civet~~Semogue TSN Final edition 1/50~~Gem Clog-Pruf/Gem~~Thor's Hammer Bay Rum w/Lime
Pre-shave, there remained 7g of the Civet soap.

The Semogue has a modicum of scrub/scritch. I am hoping it'll eventually soften up.
The Gem blade was binned after the shave. Not sure how many shaves I got, but these blades don't seem to have the longevity of others.
Finished with the Thor's Hammer. I give the juice a "B".​

Chiseled Face Civet~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~1936 Gillette Aristocrat De Luxe/Sharp Star~~St Johns West Indian Lime Cologne
We are down to the final shaves with the Civet. What a terrific soap.
Thanks, again @Keithmax
For a razor that is approaching 90 years of age, this Aristocrat looks like Catherine Deneuve in her prime.
Yes...it's had a face lift.
But a successful one, I must say.​

I remember when you got your first facelift and couldn't stop smiling. It also raised a few eyebrows, as I recall.

OK, I admit the surgeon was bit over-zealous.

Chiseled Face Civet~~SOC Boar~~'47 Super-Speed/Sharp Star~~Florida Water
Another hot one today. The Civet isn't exactly a summer-scent...
Luckily, the mentholated Florida Water is.​
