Supply SE V2 - 2 dot plate
Schick Proline
SOC Mistura
AOS Sandalwood Cream
Fine Santal Absolut

​

 

IF I can find a bottle of the vintage sandalwood ASG/Balm, I am definitely going to pick up a tub of the AoS cream. Very nice, Clint.

 

I opted for the OneBlade over the Supply SE, but I have to admit, the Supply SE black razor is incredible looking. One day, I may just buy one of these.

Thank you Joseph.

 

I have a OneBlade Genesis V2 as well. I find them to be very similar razors. Once the angle is dialed in on the Supply SE. The 2 dot plate delivers a drama free near perfect shave like the OneBlade. I bought this matte black Supply SE from their warehouse deals section. It is a factory 2nd but I really can't find a fault with the razor. Perhaps the plate color is not a perfect match.

 

Thank you..

This blade is going for its 19th shave. From what I remember, it has one side that is starting to lose it, but I use that for the 1st pass with the grain. The good side STILL was cutting well on the previous shave weeks ago. I'm hoping that the miracle blade can make it to 20 shaves. We'll find out!

 

Wonderful picture and brush, Mark!

 

Good luck this week boys

February Favorites!!

February 10

Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (9)
Blade - (3)
Soap - Stirling Executive Man
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Another night with the Fatty and Rapira PL. Last night I picked up a blade that was open and wondered if I'd used it once at some point in a trial or something. After tonight's shave I decided yep - it had been used once before, or maybe twice. So I changed the number to "3" on it, still got a good shave and I'll move on tomorrow. It is a testament to the blade, though, that after being used, put back in a wrapper, then reused who knows how much later, that it did provide two nights of BBS shaves, even if tonight's wasn't the smoothest I've had. It certainly wasn't the worst either.

Stirling Executive Man with the JR54 provided the perfect lather and - after the shave - I grabbed my Mountain Man body lotion to fight some of the dry cold air around here lately. So I guess - by combining those scents - I'm having a Stirling Executive Mountain Man night.

My weekend has arrived! I have my monthly Dr. appointment tomorrow afternoon and will spend the rest of the two days working on some other official business. Hope you all had a great weekend!!

No worries mate, enjoy it in good health! I've bought probably too much stuff after seeing others post and asking about their swag lol.

As much as I like the scent and performance of this T+S offering, my face doesnt seem to like the cinnamon oil. This may be the last time trying it...

Ahh. Going with the Trumpers Sandalwood? Excellent choice.
