Life has been busy as I travel down the home stretch to retirement. I knew today is the final day for the AoS Peppermint so I sent it off in style: Wacker Hunstment razor, Varlet brush and Roja Dove Vetiver.
August 4, 2023 Blackland Vector Kai Captain Protouch MG PAA Shaverite 210 with Maggard Boar SV Felce Aromatica Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Friday! The journey continues with the SV. I happened to find an extra ferrule for my Shaverite 210. I decided to order a boar knot from Maggards. After several times soaking and drying the brush, I decided to give it a go this morning. The brush needs further breaking in but I can tell this one will be a keeper. Have a great day guys.

Friday, August 4 Klar Kabinett~~Simpson 57 "The Douglas"~~dubl duck Goldedge~~Royall Lyme While I haven't quite finished the KK, I did manage to 3017 the Royall Lyme. The dd sings whilst it shaves. A beautiful scraping tune. Nice shave--no issues. The Douglas is a treasure. Fantastic knot.
Thankfully Snake Bite soap is refreshingly pleasurable to use. Were it not for Williams Wednesday and ‘Fat Friday, I’d be getting a little bit know what I mean?
Saturday, August 5 Klar Kabinett~~Hucklaration B5~~Barbasol FH/Spoiler~~Royall Muske The end is nigh for the KK. Today's shave was an all-around winner. The B5 knot is quite dense. They're quite popular, but I prefer knots with better "flow-through" To each his own. The Floating Head is a heavy beast. Possibly the heaviest razor in my arsenal. Loaded with a Gillette Spoiler, quick work was made of the 24 stubble. Finished with another "made in Bermuda" offering from Royall Lyme Ltd. I stank like I just walked out of the barbershop.
August 5, 2023 Greengult GC 2.0 Plate 2 Gillette 7 O’clock Black 30DC LE SV Felce Aromatica Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Saturday Everyone. A great shave to start the day. Take care Gents.
Joseph...I am so embarrassed. As I was ordering the Midnight Stag for you, I began daydreaming about BBQ ribs and hot fudge sundae's. I simply lost focus and accidentally ordered a dozen sticks of Arko by mistake. Oh well, I thought, Primo loves a challenge...
Day 10 Ended up back at the lake spot for the past 3 days. Just my son and I…Mrs Spartan and our daughter Ava were south of the border in Spokane for a dance competition. Back in the den now. I hadn’t shaved for a full 72 hours…Yeesh. Still no problem for this awesome combo. I love the NEW LC. I’ll be shaving a little more regularly now, and hoping to follow along a lot better.
Clint, for some reason I thought you mainly used Feather blades in a DE. Have you gone away from them? Just mixing it up more?
