SOS: July 2018

The scent is very nice. Top notes of Pepper and Cinnamon over a lot of others and it works extremely well. The spices are muted enough that they don't just slap you in the face. A few of us commented on that. Here's the link if you want to see all of the details. There are a limited number of soaps available directly from Jeeves as well as the matching AS.

That Everready 100T is absolutely GORGEOUS looking. Now I'm considering trying to find one to restore for myself.

July 16

Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (9)
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
Post - Alum

It's Monday, and that means it's Menthol Monday, and I just got a sample of Stirling Iced Pineapple. Yep, that works. Besides, it's been driving me crazy since it arrived Saturday. I've sniffed it enough. Time to shave with it. I chose the Stirling brush to keep it seimple. Gillette Slim on 9 for the aggressive approach with a fresh Ladas from Moscow. Fine setup. Very fine.

This soap excites me almost as much as the Iced Coffee. Rod seems to know just how much menthol to put these "Iced" soaps to make it pop but not enough to cover the primary scent. Just like the Iced Coffee, the Iced Pineapple gives you all the main scent you want and also provides that icy menthol after effect as you go through the second pass and beyond. Really well balanced. I'm sure you could add some menthol if you like it even colder. That might be "glacial pineapple" though.

Two passes, touch ups, the baby is in the house and I'm thinking I need to try some more of his Iced soaps. Good stuff baby.

I'm rockin a hot Tuesday with
Hot Water wash
Brothers Bristles/ace black badger
The Shave Den Iced Florida Water type
Merkur 34chd
Persona lab (3)
Iced Florida Water (atomized)
Cool and smooth, ready for the heat. I opted for the hd today. I always seem to overlook this razor, idky?, maybe because it always seemed to give me ok shaves (not homeruns). Today it delivered the goods. Finished with iced FW, sprayed on to chill my mug. Happy, happy, happy.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Tabac Tuesday's Shave

Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #303
AutoStrop B2
Treet CS SE
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #303 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the AutoStrop B2 Razor with a Treet CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the Schick Adjustable. Marvelous lather from the La Toja shave stick. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺

 

For a one-armed guy, you still take great pictures and write interesting reports Matt. Hope your arm heals quickly.

 

Very nice Tim, but I seem to recall your signature said something about "my final set up"...
