To be fair, I sent @Yehuda D at least 1/2 of what I received. Oh well, he only charged me $10 and I am happy to share it with Jeff. BTW, you're flaunting your Keyhole brushes, my friend...
Yesterday I described my shave by saying, in part, "No issus of negatory"(damage). What do you think of that phraseology, @Primotenore?
Sunday, March 2 AoS Rose Absolute~~H.L. Thäter Beehive~~Gillette New SC/Feather~~C.O. Bigelow Bay Rum The AoS is not going to last out the week. Haven't used the C.O. Bigelow in a while. Sadly, the 1401 ASB has been discontinued.
Sunday is a vareity day shave and MdC seemed like a good choice. Feeling lazy and I wanted a quick shave so loaded my Cobra Classic with a Feather Pro and finished off with my favorite lavender, A Taste of Heaven. Monday is back to work on this stubborn C&S, it is down to a few broken pieces and hopefully will succumb this week. My Koraat 14 2.0 double hollow is always a joy to shave with and from the way back time machine is a Whipped Dog brush. Feeling some I need a strong stank given the high winds, it is the King, Kourous. The should be smeeling me in the N Korea today.
Tuesday, March 4 AoS Rose Absolute~~Kent BLK8~~Gillette New SC/Feather~~West Indies Bay Rum w/Lime Bay Rum with lime...
This puck of Czech and Speake is done! I was doing some organizing and found this Supply injector and decided to give a go since I have not used an injector in many moons. Now I remember why it was in the back of the lowest drawer, it is too mild. It was frustrating trying to get to cut, it is going somewhere but I will not use it again. To sooth my frustration I doused myself in Leather Oud.
A week of variety starts off with Trumpers Cream, a good performer and a great scent. This wikely be my next 3017 target. A stainless steel Dovo that always seems to have an excelent edge make for a very pleasant shave. Stank of the day is Zoologist Civet, which does not have any civet in it to my nose. Still a nice a chyphre.
Wednesday, March 5 AoS Rose Absolute~~dubl duck #2~~1958 D3 Gillette Adjustable/Feather~~Terre Hermès Eau Très Fraîche A couple of more shaves with the AoS. The Feather blade is still going strong. Combined with the Fatboy, a spectacular shave ensued. Finished with a new stank, the discontinued Hermès. Bottle is big enough for a decade of dedicated stanking...
Thursday, March 6 AoS Rose Absolute~~Simpson M7~~Wolfman WR2/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Gucci Guilty Absolute This was "absolutely" a great shave.
So that is what the bottle originally looked like. This one seems out of character for you, it is one I enjoy and own.
I was swayed by the overwhelming positive reviews. I had a bottle of the Parfum, which is currently on Ebay. This one will be great in the summer.
Enjoying some more variety before I start the next 3017. A 7/8 Brian Brown provided the sharp steel for the shave. Thursday is zumba night so I decided to treat the class to a rum and musc soaked leather scent. Except for the instructor I am the only man so I wanted a manly stank. It also lets me have some extra room, not sure why Friday is the only day I need to get up early so I needed a quick shave. While the Cobra Classic is my favorise SE razor, the Asylum Rx is a sweet razor too. Loaded with a Feather Pro it makes quick work of the morning shave. I would choose the Steam Punk for my next 3017 but I can't find a another one so I will spread this one out. To soften the blow of having to go into to the office just one day a week I went with my Shavemac ebonite brush, it always makes me smile. To make the smile even bigger Musc Kublaï Khän, I am not sure if it made anyone else smile?
Friday, March 7 AoS Rose Absolute~~Rubberset 400/3~~Wolfman WR2/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco Tomorrow'll be the final shave with the AoS. The Amouage is my numero uno "tobacco" stank.
