January - Route 66 month

Razor: Gillette Aristocrat 1947 (Birth year razor)
Blade: Feather Platinum (4)
Brush: WDC-5 Boar (Whipped Dog)
Soap: Route 66 Casablanca
Aftershave: Fine American Blend

Fair shave this evening. I don't care for this knot, so I'll replace it tomorrow. I was saved by a very good shave soap and a great razor.

 

I don't count either. When it is ready, it is ready.

 

I here you. I can say from day one, I have never had problems with not having enough lather.

 

That razor is gorgeous.

 

Thank you Clint. It is one of my favorites.

 

That's on your woodpile isn't it? Awesome pic. We got close to a foot last night. And I was up at 4:30 scraping off windshields for my wife and "daughter that I used to have " thinking about how i could work that into a pic if their was only daylight.....

 

Actually it's on a tree that was cut down last Summer. It will be in the wood pile this fall.

 

Well, I was close....

Never sell a Marine short. He will upend you every time.

Disclosure: I have a fifty something Marine that works for me. I never cease to be amazed.

 

If the tree is cut down, but not cut and split it is a pile of wood technically it's a pile of wood.

 

You're family is right - you are obsessed.

 

When I was a little kid, my dad used to do the saw work all over in the woods on his days off. Then my little brother and I would drag it in on a toboggan from wherever in the half section it was.

Wanna know how glad I was when I just got cut loose on the tractor and we could haul it in?

Course then it turned into skidding lengths to the yard and I did all the saw work except the felling......

Poor unicorn.

 

You could also say he's thorough.

 

Hope there's not a small avalanche!

SOTD January 5, 2017

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Personna injector
Brush: Artisan badger
Lather: Route 66 Cavendish
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Skin Bracer, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Another nice shave with Cavendish. I loaded up plenty of soap but could have used a touch more water. The lather was still excellent and I hydrated it by dipping the tips of the brush in as I face lathered. Nice and smooth with the Personna injector. Nice result in the end. My sample of Cavendish is still going strong.

Have a great day!

 

Excellent soap, maybe my best. Definitely a must have.

 

How many shaves do you figure you'll get from the Cavendish sample?

 

I have shaved with it four times and did a test lather before that. So, five uses total so far. I predict another four to five shaves. I get about 8-10 shaves with a Soap Commander sample. Stirling samples are another story - you could get 20+ shaves from those.

 

I get 8-10 from a Route 66 sample.
