Titanic and 3017...?

Kicking the week off with a smiling Ali's Blades, a retro style C-Mon brush and TF Italian Cypress for the spring weather. The Trumper's is back after taking a weekend break.

Tabac~~Abercrombie & Fitch Ali Baba~~Wolfman WR1 .74 Ti/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Alt Innsbruck
Tabac and Alt Innsbruck...a match made in heaven.​

 

Tabac + Alt Inssbruck = I used to have a bottle of Alt Innsbruck but used it all and can't it in Korea.

 

Now that I am retired sometimes I need help remembering the day and date . Not sure what Certified means but this Drake bush is certified as a top notch brush. Riga Razor is also certified, certified as the best steel of any of my razors. Ambre Nuit was the calling me to be the stank du jour.

Just got this Mike's and it's really nice.
Mike's soaps are all par excellence.​

AoS Sandalwood~~Vie-Long Beehive~~Barbasol Floating Head/Wizamet Iridium Super
The AoS Sandalwood cream is, imo, their best product.
Outstanding lather and an oh-so intriguing scent.​

 

I once owned a Barbasol Floating Heading but let it go, ah regrets. What an excellent razor.

 

Back to back shaves with my Janus Toggle and Feather blade. I keep working the Trumper's hard but it looks like it will last until Mid April.

 

Spanish Leather from a London-based company. Nice to see a product like that.

 

I like the MacDuff setup...course the fact that it's named after a dog isn't lost on me.

Stirling Bonaparte~~Simpson 90th Anniversary Astor~~Barbasol Floating Head/Wizamet Iridium Super
I think I have chosen my next 3017.
It'll be a repeat of one I have done multiple times.
Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the Stirling Bonaparte is a fantastic soap with a devisive scent.
Mos Def® not for everyone---however,
Dr. Mrs. Primo really likes it. ​

 

I had to look up the fragrance notes and the look like a strange combination.

Macduffs Alberta Boys~~Semogue TSN Final Edition~~Kampfe Bros Star Razor~~Creed Royal Oud
The Creed stank is another one that gets the Seal of Approval from Dr. Mrs. Primo. ​

 

Things are starting to bloom, but today was a return to cold, it even snowed in the morning. Taking advantage of the cold weather to go for some Leather and Oud stank. The Trumper's if finally showing a few hints of the bottome of the tub. Joris razor seems to be getting more and more work when I go with a DE shave.

 

Leather Oud is phenomenal. I only have a 10ml decant, but it'll last me years.

Aos Oud~~Kent BLK8~~2011 Mühle R41/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Louis Vuitton Pur Oud
Took a risk and blind-bought this stank.
I was NOT disappointed.
I love it.
Dr. Mrs. Primo says it smells like cotton candy...​

 

I am big fan too. I think I had a luck run and the craps table and then bought the biggest bottle they had.

 

Sunday variety shave and wanted to go top notch today. A 8/8 stainless steel 'razor sharp' Friodur, Tabac, Varlet brush all finished off with Aoud Cuir D'Arabie. Wishing everyone an excellent Sunday.

Vintage Williams (3017)~~Simpson D3 SiLVERTiP~~Gillette New LC/Wizamet Iridium Super~~Vintage Aqua Velva
Ladies and Germs... the next 3017 has officially begun.
I have 3017'd many a puck o' Williams, so this is nothing new.
Always enjoyable, this puck is HEAVILY mentholated.
