July 3, 2023 Ikon B1 OC Deluxe Feather Simpson CH2 Synthetic MdC Fougère Myrsol Agua Balsamica Happy Monday Everyone!! This tub of MdC is on its last leg. The wooden bowl is showing through in several places and the end is fast approaching. Have a great day guys.
Thanks Keith. I've lost 14 lbs as of yesterday, nearly half way toward my goal. Props to @clint64 for leading and encouraging by example. I always enjoy seeing my (....er...uh...your) beautiful Nassau in your SOTD pics. The Stingray will tentatively be delivered in August. I still can't believe it.
Day 14 Didn’t shave over the weekend at all. 72 hrs worth came off easily this morning. I think my estimate is looking true. Less than 8 shaves left, methinks.
Monday, July 3 AoS Rose Absolute~~TSN X LE~~US Pre-War Tech/Sharp Star~~Made in Bermuda, vintage Royall Muske Day Eleven. This new Royall Cologne arrived today. Immediately thought of a barbershop. This juice has macerated for a LONG time. The alcohol is reduced and a concentrated stank remains. The 4 scents I have in my den have satisfied my disorder. They are perfect summer scents. Non-intrusive; office friendly. Perfect. The Tech is a nice-looking razor. Decent blade exposure. The Sharp Star did well.
Tuesday, July 4 AoS Rose Absolute~~Simpson Milk Churn~~British Red-Tip/Wilkinson Chromium~~"Made in Bermuda" Royall Mandarin Day Twelve. You'll notice, the remaining AoS product has been transferred to my Aesop SS bowl. The end is nigh... The Royall Mandarin elicited an immediate and unsolicited SWMBOSOA® This is the same Light Brigade I have been using for a while. It's still has some life left.
July 4, 2023 Charcoal Goods Everyday Razor Feather Simpson CH2 Synthetic MdC Fougère Myrsol Agua Balsamica Happy July 4th to those that celebrate. Today was an early morning shave with an evening post. Swati and I went to visit my Mom today and take her out for a birthday lunch. I just finished having burgers from the grill. I really couldn't ask for a better day.
First, a Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! I agree with @Primotenore Joseph, my Culmak brush has some the finest hair of all my brushes. I just wish I could find a bigger one. Finally a hole is showing up in the QCS. Wade and Butcher for the win.
July 5, 2023 Charcoal Goods Everyday Razor Feather Simpson CH2 Synthetic MdC Fougère Myrsol Agua Balsamica Happy Wednesday Everyone. I am down to around 10 grams of soap which should be done and dusted in the next 5-6 shaves. I have really enjoyed this run with MdC. I am biased but MdC is one of my favorite soaps. Take care and have a great day.
Wednesday, July 5 AoS Rose Absolute~~Simpson Tulip 3~~2011 Mühle R41/Wilkinson Chromium~~"Made in Bermuda" vintage Royall Mandarin Day Twelve. Brought out the monster T3 to work on this "cream" (now a semi-firm soap). I keep asking if ANYONE has ever seen a Tulip 3 with a 29mm Two-Band knot? All T3's on Simpson Website are 22mm. So far, I suspect this was a special order and has found its way into my den. The Royall is such a refreshing stank. Wish it lasted longer...
I purchased an application for my iPhone years ago that allows you to select photos and make a calendar. The app is called Collect. I don’t think it’s being sold anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Joseph, I suspect your juice that separated had been stored improperly at some point. According to the website, it needs to be stored below 25C (77 F). https://www.66-60.com/alt-innsbruck/
July 6, 2023 Feather AS-D2 Feather PAA Shaverite 210 with Mix Knot MdC Fougère Myrsol Agua Balsamica Whew. This week is just about over. I could be happy with this lineup for a very long time. Everything just works so well together.
Day 16 The soap is starting to disappear rapidly. Using it every day, it seems to stay quite moist and I'm going through it at a more rapid rate. I went full on Brut dupe for an early morning meeting. The team can thank me later...
