Another day, another shave, another first pass with the straight. No mishaps, and getting better every time. Still have to stop and think about/adjust blade angle from time to time, but It’s starting to get easier knowing when I’m dialed in and when I’m not. Cologne Russe sample is still going strong. I’m not sure it’s a scent I’ll be adding to the stable, but as with all B&M scents, I enjoy and appreciate the complexity.
OCtober 21, 2017 Wolfman Ti OC (0.74 blade gap) Personna 74 (6) WDC-8 with Druida Manchurian Fine L’Orange Noir Soap and Aftershave A very good three pass shave this morning. Everything just worked so well together. The Fine L'Orange Noir is one of my favorite Fine scents. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
My three favorite Fine scents in no particular order are L'Orange Noir, Platinum, and Fresh Vetiver. The order of preference seems to change with my mood.
I hope the Fine Fresh Vetiver is better than that which is in L&L Grooming Marshlands. But after all, fresh means just that, right?
Fine has two vetiver scents, Fresh and Green. The Fresh has a smoky earthy scent to my nose. I have never tried the Green Vetiver so I can't comment on the scent.
Jim I do not mind at all. The razor I did was GunKote. It sprays on as a liquid. It will go everywhere. If you do not want the coating in or on something. It is as simple as masking it off, or plug the hole. The same holds true for Powder Coat. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
This was my last shave with Eye-Gore and I’m a little bummed to be sending him in. If I ever had to quit using straights I would be happy to have this razor in my den. I am dolphin smooth this morning after three easy passes. Tabac Shave Stick B-400 Brush by Tom Eye-Gore SE Razor by Tom Lucky Tiger St. John’s Bay Rum Have a great weekend!
October 21 Gillette Super Speed Red Tip (A3) Feather (2) JR #160 Louisville Slugger handle with Omega 10098 boar knot Mike's Natural Soap - unscented Thayers Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, Alt-Innsbruck Aftershave, and Aramis EDT I enjoyed a relaxed two-pass shave on this beautiful Saturday morning. Mike's Natural Soap is the slickest and most skin friendly soap in my den. After my unscented bar is used up, I have a Hungarian Lavender scented bar ready to go. I finished today with Alt-Innsbruck and Aramis. They pair well, as they both have tobacco scents. You have to go easy, though, as they can both be strong. My Bride and I have tickets to see "A Murder is Announced" at our local dinner theatre this evening. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
