Gary.

 

Here's this week's Throwback Thursday shave-marked for Saturday:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash in shower
shave-Central Texas Soaps(Grandpa's Barbershop)*
brush-Maggard's Marble Handle Synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot+DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman Original(6 oz.)**

* The owner of CTS describes time going way back to when he and his Grandpa would go to the local Barbershop. Must have been some time long ago.
**-1830, not 1810 as is shown on most Clubman products. 1810 was when Edouard Pinaud(the owner)was BORN....can't organize your own perfume market from your crib. Pinaud did it when he was 20(1830),.

 

Thank you Gary.

I love that Cyril R Salter cream. Possibly the best cream I've used with the possible exception of the Catie's Bubbles era-2015 Le Piment De La Vie cream.

 

Thanks! Fahrenheit is pretty awesome, I agree.

Friday April 16th SOTN




All this talk about the titanium Taiga... I had to pull my SS one out to play tonight. It never disappoints. TBH, I could easily shave with it the rest of my life and not be disappointed. It truly is an incredibly designed and engineered razor - having infinite adjustability, ease of disassembly, and SB plus OC options all in one?? If I have a son someday, it will be gifted to him

The Razorock Unlabeled soap and Pierre Cardin weren’t too bad either. I may repeat this setup all weekend.

Happy Healthy Shaves all.
