October 2, 2023 Blackbird Ti OC Gillette 7 O’Clock Simpson CH2 Synthetic WSP Barbershop SV Felce Aromatica Monday is here already. Weekends are entirely too short. At any rate Happy Monday. The mornings shave was pretty decent. I am having a bit of trouble finding and maintaining the correct angle with the BB OC. At least the razor lets me know when I am wrong. I am sure I will get everything sorted in the end. Take care and have a great day.
Day 53 Gillette Single Ring Old Type w PermaSharp APShave SHD / Blue Resin Maple Asylum Colonia Myrsol Emulsion Long weekend here. I love OC OCtober. It is probably my favourite monthly focus. Starting out with the Single Ring. It isn’t the smoothest shaver, but does the job well.
@Primotenore : Forgot to mention, the glue dots on today’s PermaSharp were epic. Hard time getting the wrapper off, tbh…
Hello 3017 Crew. I’ve been quietly working away at knocking off my current puck of Fine Accoutrements’ Snake Bite. This triple milled bad boy is relentlessly indomitable. My original estimate of end of SEptember was radically wrong. I now hope to take it down by late OCtober, early Novemboar.
My mystery stick is now a mystery blob. Getting to small to keep using as a stick so I smashed it into a bowl. Normally I would just use a little water to "weld" it to the top of another stick. But this is a 3017, and I want to be able to declare it finished. Here it's about to be attacked by its Turkish cousin. Hands down my favorite brush. Dark bristles and all. Only one right way to fix those: bury 'em.
So I could not finish this tub of TOBS in September as expected. That is OK because the scent is a classic British cologne and performance is acceptable. To kick off October I decided to pair the TOBS with Clubman, British gentleman meets Piggly Wiggly lothario. So much olfactory joy even my razor was smiling.
October 3, 2023 Feather AS-D2 Feather PAA Shaverite 210 with Mix Knot WSP Barbershop SV Felce Aromatica Happy Tuesday Everyone. Whew what a day. We are coming up for the final income tax deadline of 10/15. In many ways this one is worse than April since only the tough ones are left. The WSP soap continues to sink at a good clip as does the SV splash. I am enjoying the performance of the soap despite the scent. At least the Felce Aromatica makes up for the scent of the soap. Take care and have a great day.
Day 54 Gillette Single Ring Old Type w PermaSharp (2) Simpson CH2 Synth Asylum/ SV Colonia combo Thayers Excellent shave with the Old Type today. I wonder what these razors were like with the thick carbon blades that were originally meant for them. Actually, I don’t wonder enough to find out.
Tuesday, October 3 Figaro Sapone Speciale~~Rubberset 400/3~~Feather AC~~Florida Water The whole point of a 3017 is to 3017 a product. I forgot the Eufros Tobacco ASB today.
You must be fixin' to have a Voodoo ceremony. I will see if I can find my Florida Water for tomorrows shave.
