Saturday, November 9 Mike's Bay Rum~~Simpson 58~~Wolfman WR1/Personna 74~~Dominica Bay Rum Old school shave. Excellent results.
Wednesday, November 13 Stirling Solidus~~Simpson M7~~Wolfman WR1/Personna 74~~1 MIllion Lucky Man, do I smell great!
@Primotenore Great looking shaves Joseph. I am still working on my 3017 and with the huge container of Santa Maria Novella Cream it will take a very long time.
Thanks, Clint. I have temporarily abandoned my 3017 habit. I'll be back with another soon...stay tuned.
I am strongly considering abandoning my 3017 attempts and just enjoy the soaps I have. Honestly at this point I am too lazy to pull different soaps out of the cabinet.
Friday, November 15 Barrister & Mann Bay Rum~~Rubberset 400/3~~1908 Gillette/Blue Blade~~B&M Kyovu This is a candidate for a 3017. Wish B&M had stuck with their original formula.
Saturday, November 16 AoS Sandalwood (Tallow) 3017~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic Badger~~Gillette SR/Blue Blade~~Nasomatto Absinth OK, ladies and germs, this is the next 3017. I figured that this thread is all about 3017'ing a product, and at the risk of losing my meager fan base, I decided to get back on the horse and knock out another soap. There's a good amount in the tub, but seeing that I have an unopened backup and, courtesy of my friend @chazt have a MONGO-sized tub, there's no fear of me running out of this magnificent soap in the near future. So...let the Titanic begin its descent.
Sunday, November 17 AoS Sandalwood~~dubl duck #2~~Wolfman WR1/Gillette Blue Blade~~Nasomatto Duro What's the name of this thread? You can bet that's what I am all about. Knockin' out the product.
Monday, November 18 AoS Sandalwood~~Rooney~~Wolfman/Blue Blade~~Nasomatto Pardon The AoS never makes a bad lather. Scent is still quite strong. Post shave is excellent. Not sure how long I am going to use the Gillette Blue Blade. Feels like I am running an axe across my skin. "Crazy Nose" is beeeeautiful.
Tuesday, November 19 AoS Sandalwood~~Simpson "The Hive"~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Feather~~Kiehl's Original Musk Pluggin' along. Fresh Feather Blade made the shave effortless. The Kiehl's is a classic, musk stank. I smell...musky.
I would be too if it happened TOOOO me(you didn't read that, lol). Aaaah, you got me, you said "stinkin'"...I didn't SEE that extra N.
Wednesday, November 20 Art of Shaving (Tallow) Sandalwood~~Semogue TSN Final Edition 1/50~~Cooper Monobilt/Feather~~Burt's Bees Bay Rum Rushed the shave. Not recommended when using a Monobilt. Couple of bloody marks... What's the phrase? Chicks dig scars? They're diggin' Primo this evening.
Thursday, November 21 AoS Sandalwood~~Semogue SOC Boar~~Cooper Monobilt/Feather~~Aramis Tobacco Reserve Got right back on the horse. Lightest of touches and the results were outstanding. Were @jtspartan around---and I wish he was, he would have reminded me to tread lightly with the Cooper. When Primo moves the product to his Aesop SS Bowl, it's game on with the 3017. Finished with a stank I save for cold weather, the Aramis Tobacco Reserve. @wristwatchb ---have you ever cracked open your bottle? Now's the time.
I am back after a visit to the fatherland. Almost two weeks of Arko stick lemony goodness it is time to resume my 3017 journey. For the first shave back I went with an 8/8 Wacker Huntsman and my big Varlet for a luxurious shave. Some Oud goodness thanks to a friend. Shaving while jet lagged is dangerous but I missed my straight razors. The Ballencia pour Homme is the vintage version and was a gift from a fellow stank enthusiast. Fantastic scent, given current shipping regulations finding a vintage bottle and then shipping to South Korea feels almost impossible. Well today I do smell awesome.
Friday, November 22 AoS Sandalwood~~Varlet Mega HD~~Barbasol FH/Feather~~Vintage Aramis Havana Fine, Friday-evening shave. Smooth Face. Super Stank. What more could you ask for?
