May 15, 2024 Feather AS D2 Feather PAA ShaveRite 210 Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Wednesday. This soap is "Done & Dusted". I have really enjoyed this 3017. At some point I will add another Glacial soap to my collection but not now. Take care and have a great day.
Another example of owners saying "Hey, let's TRY this and see how it works. If it isn't as good as the popular brand, at least we can say we tried something DIFFERENT. Course change is good".
Not sure change always means "better", though. Look at AoS, Fine, of course, MWF, Williams, Tabac, to name a few. They changed their formulas---for whatever reason, and the results were, imo, NOT an improvement. Then you have owners, who constantly "tweak" an already excellent formula. Barrister & Mann comes to mind. Baffling, when you consider their original formula was outstanding. The other side of the coin is an artisan, who trusts their product. Mike's and Mystic Water are prime examples.

Wednesday, May 15 ETHOS Lavender Suprême~~Hucklaration B5~~1936 Gillette Aristocrat De Luxe/Voskhod~~Rasasi Hawas Speaking of scritch, the B5 has ZERO. Wonderful shave with---and hold onto your hats, what might be my favorite razor.
Oh, I agree...change isn't ALWAYS good When I said that I was quoting those who THINK so...not muhself.. As for Fine, the "change" helped produce Latigo, which I've enjoyed. But I don't care for "tweakers"......that sentiment began with Rise...I'll admit I didn't focus 100%on the Rise I was getting with my big order a few years ago...I thought it was Rise Original. I guess I forgot times have changed. Shux.
Thank you Charlie. Happy anniversary to you both. Swati and I celebrate our 35th anniversary on June 9th. Swati said she should get 2 for 1 credit for each year with me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
We are giving each other some home repairs/upgrades and a trip to Spain and Portugal. Now that the girls are older and for the most part off the payroll we are going to try to take a bigger trip together each year.
Working on the Razo Rock. It does produce a nice lather if you load it heavy. To big razors to mow down the stubble.
May 16, 2024 Timeless Ti 0.95 mm Gillette 7 O’clock Black Semogue Mistura Taj Master Soap Creations Frosted Bay Rum Barberry Coast Bay Rum Aftershave Happy Thursday Everyone. I am onto the next 3017 target with another mentholated soap, Master Soap Creations Frosted Bay Rum. The soap has a great chill factor but it is not as cold as the Stirling Glacial I just finished. Since I love Bay Rum this will be a fun 3017. I spent some time over the weekend making some menthol liquid to add to aftershave. The menthol additive gave the Barberry Coast Bay Rum a face chill equal to or colder than the Stirling Glacial. I am sitting here typing this and my face feels like it is in a freezer. I just love it. Take care and have a great day everyone.
