Happy Tuesday Everyone. I decided to use a 2 part lathering method this morning. I started off by using the brain bowl like a shave stick rubbing it over my moistened face. I followed this by loaded the brush vigorously Zenith. Face lathering and adding water slowly yielded a rich thick lather. Just wow. I know how I am using this bowl each day from now on. Fantastic shave to start the day. Take care and have a great day. ​

Massive decrease in volume!!!!

Yesterday I used one of my lightest razors. Today, one of the heaviest in my den.
The Barbasol FH is a deceivingly aggressive tool.
The Polsilver blade was a tremendous partner of said razor.
Stank du jour: Montale Leather Patchouli.
I SMELL!!!!

Great!

The Agua de Puig was a favorite of Elvis(you know, that Presley, fella?).

My 3017 is not as challenging as ones I have done in the past, however, it still takes a modicum of willpower
to use the same soap day-after-day.
Outstanding results with the Super-Speed. It's a real joy to use.
The stank is...for lack of a better word, unique.​

Great looking razor Joseph.

Thanks, Clint.

Happy Thursday everyone. I am up and moving very early this morning for a follow up appointment with my cardiologist which went great. At least I was able to get a great shave in before leaving for the appointment. Take care and have a great day.​

You may recall me talkinabout how my Mom suggested I try a shower and shave the next morning, after being bed-ridden for 4 days with the flu many years ago. She was right-I got my energy back.

A shower and shave never hurts. Fortunately I was not sick this morning and only had to go in for a follow up exam.

I'm glad it went well, Clint.

Nothing much to add regarding the shave cream...
The stank is a terrific scent created by Harry Fremont.





Some variances between the two.

Happy Friday Everyone! Another fantastic shave to start the day. I have my average soap usage up to approximately 2.5 grams per shave. I anticipate this will increase as the soap softens and works further down towards the bowl. I agree with @Keithmax , the bowl is cool but is very messy to lather. It would be much better if the bowl were wider and not over filled. Take care and have a great day. ​

How do you like that Montale? The only Patchouli I have in collection is Dior Patchouli Imperial.

I am inspired, I will break out my Zenith boar too.

Good to hear you are feeling better.

Using MdC everyday seems to keep it softer and it feels like I am using more per shave.

This stainless steel Mastro Livi has always been a joy to use and maintain. It is one of two.


I add lanolin every time I use MdC, it seems to really improve the aftershave feel. I may also just be in my head. The Dorko is another top razor and 7/8 it is a perfect size.


I had an early morning appointment so I went with a DE, my Janus Toggle. I was surprised the razor was panned by some on another site. It is very aggressive when at the higher settings, so I turn it down a couple to keep the blade chatter down. The MDCI Invation Barbare is almost done, I am debating wether to buy another bottle or not. It is the only 'powdery' stank in my den.


Today I used the Zenith boar, but no picture yet. That will follow tomorrow.
