  2. Probably why Red Rings and Red Tips are a bargain. :happy093:
  3. It looks like the softening up and loading the soap likes it owes me money and is avoiding my calls is paying off. There is the tiny beginnings of the donut of death. The Pour Monsieur is getting near the bottome too. I buy another bottle in the spring.

  4. It's your typical Montale...strong. I get more leather than patchouli. When I want a patchouli-forward stank, I break out the vintage Givenchy Gentleman. Speaking of which, I think I'll use it today. :)

  5. Oh, I should have explained, this was years ago. I haven't had a flu like that since.

    Happy Saturday! Since we have no big plans today, it will be nice just to relax. So I started the day with a relaxing shave. Take care and have a great day. ​
  8. Tempting, I will be on the lookout for a vintage bottle. Have you tried the modern version?

    Haven't used the Single Ring for a while.
    It help the Personna 74 blade securely at an advantageous angle.
    Excellent results.
    Stank du jour is the vintage fougère by Houbigant: Duc de Vervins.

    Happy Sunday Everyone. Changed up the Asylum Injector for the Supply Co V2 injector. This is by far my favorite injector. So much so that at one time I owned 3 of them. One found a new home with @jtspartan . I am constantly using 3 grams of soap per shave now. Even so, this 3017 will still take time. Take care and have a wonderful day. ​

    Happy Monday. I was up and moving very early this morning. I am already at the auto dealership for my service. I tell myself that I will try to work remotely from here. Sure ;). Another fantastic shave to start the day. Most days I am using 4 grams of soap for the shave. Take care and have a great day. ​

    This soap'll be done this week.
    The quantity is deceiving. 5.0 FL OZ...come on man!
    I'll bet there's only 75g of product.

    Happy Tuesday everyone. Another fantastic shave to start the day. I absolutely love MdC shave soaps. I always seem to get great shaves when I use it. Take care and have a great day. ​
  17. I have yet to measure gram-wise how much soap I use....I just want it to make the brush look like an ice-cream cone.

  18. I can see progress, Clint. :happy096:

  19. I am seeing the progress as well. I have used roughly 34 grams of soap in 10 shaves. If I can maintain or increase that average, this 3017 will go by like all the rest
