Friday, January 31 ToOBS Oud~~Simpson CH3~~2011 Mühle R41/Personna 74~~Creed Royal Oud I have one thing to say about this shave...
I filled in the doughnut of death, I think this C&S will get me through February. Two non-floppy brushes but I really do not like this synthetic brush, it just flings soap all over the place and I do not like the feel. I think I will steam out the knot and replace it with something natural. Koraat 7/8 with a splash theme and Asylum Rx were the chosen steel for these shaves. Some powerful stanks, Leather Oud and a very pungent Peau d'Espagne.
Sunday, February 2 Valobra Fougère~~Hucklaration B5~~Feather AS-D2/Personna 74~~Chanel Antaeus Pour Homme Took a day off and switched to a razor with much less blade exposure. Combined with the Personna 74, I was able to shave my neck---sans all pressing, with success. Master Enabler @Keithmax recommended this stank and... UNSOLICITED SWMBOSOA®
So pulled out the vintage Antaeus and is a glorious stank. Interesting the new version has more staying power. Both are nice. Please witness the 2011 R41 loaded with a proper blade, epic shave. The Tabac shave was Sunday, one weekends I get some variety from the 3017.
Tuesday, February 4 Extra Egyptian Oudh~~Wald S1~~Gillette Red Tip (UK)/Personna 74~~Oud Assam New soap, new brush, nice shave. The Oud Assam is stunning.
Wednesday, February 5 AoS Oud~~Wald S1~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Personna 74~~Louis Vuitton Pur Oud Yesterday's soap is now on a BST. The scent was not for me. It certainly wasn't Oud. Today's Oudiliscious shave is brought to you by Art of Shaving and Louis Vuitton.
Thursday, February 6 Martin de Candre Rose~~Semogue SOC Boar~~Wolfman WR1 Ti/Personna 74~~Louis Vuitton Pur Oud Rose and Oud are like peanut butter and jelly. This was an amazing shave.
I am still working on the C&S which is not in the photo. Inspired by our resident Oud maestro I pulled out my bottle of vintage YSL M7, an nice match for our cold tempratures.
Friday, February 7 Mike's Hungarian Lavender~~Wald S1~~Wolfman WR1/Personna 74~~Chanel Antaeus Still no 3017... I can't tell you when the last time I used this soap. The lather was stupendous. Rockin' the 80's stank and lovin' it.
I decided to go with the best performing soap I have ever experienced, vintage Old Spice. Sadly it has lost it stank so add a little from a bottle of modern OS. To honor the soap I went some vintage Brut and my smiling bejeweled Ed Brice razor.
Love the Paladin. The "Keyhole" has always been one of my favorite handles. I had a Grey Box Simpson and stupidly let it go.
Sunday, February 9 ETHOS Lavender Suprême~~Plisson 16~~Gustave Lalune~~Gucci Pour Homme (1976) The rare straight shave these days. Not sure where I am going with them. Considering moving them all. Side Note: The Plisson has not shed a single hair in the last two outings.
Monday, February 10 Santa Maria Novella Crema da Barba~~Varlet Mega HD~~Wolfman WR2/Personna 74~~Orto Parisi Cuoium Got chastised by Dr. Mrs. Primo for "over-spraying" the stank. I only sprayed once, but it's a polarizing powerhouse. Alliteration intended.
Williams Wednesday, February 12 Vintage Williams~~Declaration Grooming B14 Washington~~Wolfman WR2/Personna 74~~Frederic Malle Promise Crackin' good shave, mates.
