Two shaves with the Tabula Rossa as it may become the next 3017. The 7/8 Dorko is one of my favorite straights, butterscotch scales, fancy gold inlay and a fantastic edge. Pulled the Futur down from the shelf, I guess I forgot how much I enjoy this razor. Stanks du jour, vintage Pierre Cardin and Musc Ravaguer which lives up to it's cool name.
Saturday, November 1 Extro Egyptian Oudh~~Kent BLK8~~Gillette #44/Rapira~~Vintage Aqua Velva Started the month removing a LOT of facial hair. Trimmed the mustache down to a Clark Gable. Reduced the soul patch to a fraction of its former self. Dr. Mrs. Primo was pleased. Headed off for a week camping trip Monday and I am not taking a razor. I'll get another shave in tomorrow.
Sunday, November 2 Extro Egyptian Oudh~~TSN 3rd Anniversary Paladin~~Wolfman WR1/Rapira~~Amouage Royal Tobacco I am staying true to the thread---without exceptions. The soap'll will be titaniced in a few weeks. The rod-stock on this Paladin is amazing.
Spent the weekend in Osaka and Kyoto. My standard travel kit included Tabac, Karve bronze and a Varlet Everest. Back home I went with Japanese steel, Atlas near wedge which unfortunately is in need of a touch up. Zingari which is a candidate for the next 3017, an ebonite Shavemac and vintage Derby A/S Tuesday featured more Japanese steel with my small but share Iwasaki, I wish this razor was bigger. The CF is also a conteder for the next 3017.
