May 19, 2024 Timeless Aluminum Gillette 7 O’clock Black Semogue Torga C5 Master Soap Creations Frosted Bay Rum Ogallala Bay Rum Cologne with Menthol Happy Sunday Everyone! We had a rainy stormy Saturday here in the ATL. Swati and I dog sat Cody, Maya's retired racing greyhound. Cody is not a fan of thunder at all so he spent most of the night hiding in my closet. Greyson, my whippet kept checking on him. Altogether it made for a long night for me. I ended up having a dram of some good Irish Whiskey. The shave this morning was a welcome face freeze. I think Maya and I will take the boys out for a walk in park later this afternoon. Take care and have a great day.
I like the Torga pretty well Gary. The short loft is fine and I like the scrub as well. I just tend to use brushes with bigger knots.
After a weekend using some soap variety it is back to the 3017, Razo Rock. I am using scooping soap out instead of loading directly, delaying the donut of death. The big Art razor is edge is falling off a little bit so, it will visit the pasted strops before it is back in the rotation. Wishing everyone a happy and productive week.

Monday, May 20 ETHOS Lavender Suprême~~Simpson "The Duke"~~Gillette New LC/Voskhod~~Lavande 44 by Rania J. A shave fit for a Duke. The Lavande 44 is a stunning, complex, lavender scent. One of my favs.
Thank you Gary. The bowl real allows me to tear into the soap using @Primotenore patented "Fast & Loose" lather method.
an early eample will have the gillette logo and " made in usa".that would be a federal set type razor or early 1930s.if it has logo,made in.. and patent #'s it's the reissue 1934 and newer.no pun intended. note the smaller apperature/indent wher the handle seats also. later version with patent #'s and larger indent.
