SoS Aug 6 - 12

yes they can be done dragon but they are no fun indeed !
this also proofs we could be just as fast as M3 shaves !

My mom had was on the market for 2 days , friday and saturday in total 20 hours selling her old Tupperware collection. I gave her some BC items !
ZERO was sold nothing Nadda... lots of people were shocked to see the DE razors still available lots of youngsters would be interested and tel mom that their dad still shaves like that but themselves...they;d POOP their pants trying to shave like that , the overall feeling my mom got was they are all
S C A R E D to shave DE.

 

Its the shave soap Klaus TOSS IT ! The La Riana Sucks tha Bomb.. the version I have lathers better now but seriously lacks the ability to keep the lather for longer then 30 seconds on your face. this product sells quite a lot the vendor told me but I cant believe its getting so many sales and the version he makes now is atleast better since I told him to change some ingredients but its still da bag. at the moment the version I have is about as good as the Lime preshave from Musgo Real also not to be used as a stand alone soap but great for pre soaking /super lather making so use the Riana like that a pre-shave.

The vendor gave me as a tip use VERY litte water on these soaps/brush perhaps that helps. I dont think the blades are bad.

sorry you had to go thru that you could have asked me been there done that have the T-Shirt. I hope the VGH Bowl will make up for ya disaster..

I do feel much better now..

 

Nice travel kit!

Musica rasa: John Coltrane and Thelonius Monk. Not the Carnegie concert (which I need to get), but a studio album "Thelonius Monk with John Coltrane", which is still very good.

L'Occitane Cade soap
B&B Horn Finest
"J" Injector/USA Shick blade
Alum block
AV Sport Green
SCS Aged Leather AS Milk
L'Occitane Vetyver

A superb shave. I attribute this to two things, putting glycerine in the water used to soak my brush (a la Trader Joe, thanks bud!), and trying out J-hooks on the neck where I get all that grief if I just do repeated ATG passes. The lather was superb, and the shave equally so.

I am just sad to report that my Cade has turned into an unscented soap. Must have bought some old stock at the L'Occitane store. It performs great, but I loved the smell when it was new.

 

Thanks for the heads-up there, Rene!
From what I read on the German wetshaving board the soap should actually be good - except for the lather. I'll try the Russian blades once more tomorrow and then we'll know for sure if it's the blade or the soap

I'm definitely looking forward to give the VGH-soap a try soon :drool

 

Klaus, that VGH stuff is a treat, and a delight. The soap smells so nice, and the lather will be enough for 3 men to shave with! You'll have the time of your life shaving with it.
