Primo's post-shave routine always includes Thayer's Witch Hazel---unscented, to which I add some camphor and eucalyptus. (sadly, because Thayer's discontinued their "medicated"). This is followed by five squirts of AoS ASB (I have unscented and Madison---basically, unscented). Lastly, stank du jour.
Sunday, November 24 AoS Sandalwood~~Declaration Grooming B14 Washington~~Feather AS-D2/Feather~~Meehan Bay Rhum Took off the goatee; preserving the soul patch. For those who say the AS-D2 can't take down heavy stubble, I say: HORSEHOCKEY! My chin is a smooth as a baby's... Finished with the best Bay R(h)um on the planet.
The writing on the bottles looks like Romulan or Klingon, I am getting rusty on my galactic linguistics.
I am back working the tub of CK-6 La Tierra Mojada. This 7/8 Dorko is some excellent steel and was just refreshed on pasted strops. The vintage Brut stank is something behold, much thanks to my benefactor. Today I was out razing awareness to the complete lack of Piggly Wiggly stores in Korea. For a country that serves that thick slab bacon as a dinner entree it seem absurd with don't have a Piggly Wiggly.
You should include activism in your LinkedIn profile, Keith. It may open up a second career in retirement. Pig Swag is always a nice touch: subtle messaging combined with classic, yet understated, style. You're well on your way to becoming a Kentucky Colonel and possibly even a citizen of Alabama.
Monday, November 25 AoS Sandalwood~~Simpson M7~~Gillette 1936 Aristocrat De Luxe/Feather~~Tom Ford Arabian Wood !0 guesses what soap I used today and the first 9 don't count. You betcha! AoS (Valobra) Sandalwood. Super shave with superior suds. Sensational stank to finish.
Happy Thanksgiving! My Bride and I are thankful to count you all as our friends. Thanks for letting me ride along on the 3017 thread.
Tuesday, November 26 AoS Sandalwood~~Plisson 16~~Leresche #51/Feather~~Montale Aoud Cuir d'Arabie Shedding alert! Only 1 (one) hair lost with today's shave AND, I did not 'baby' the brush. Are we reaching the end of hair loss??? Fingers are crossed.
First I want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have been scooping the soap and loading in my bowl so the donught of death will not appear. So going forward I will start loading in the directly so I can create the donught of death. The last two shaves were with two very different styly straight razors. On the left we have the razor @BaylorGator dubbed the 'prison shank razor' as it looks like it was made from a prison bed spring. Actualy is Joe Edson and did not realize he served time with Randy. On the right is a 8/8 Dovo a recent addition to Dovo's catalogue and the size I prefer. I go into the office once a week and this week I had to go in on Wednesday, of course it started snowing overnight and most of the day. Here are some pics from my ride home and parking my car at home. You can see my entire license plated covered by snow.
Wednesday, November 27 AoS Sandalwood (Valobra)~~Kent BK8~~Leresche #51/Feather~~Vintage Paco Rabanne Pour Homme This stank really takes me back. I used to use it liberally in high school and college. Lost touch with it for many years, only to re-acquire a nice, vintage bottle. It really is one of the all-time best fougère fragrances.
Thursday, November 28 ETHOS Succés~~Abercrombie & Fitch Persian Jar~~Wolfman WR2/Feather~~Creed Aventus Took a day off from my 3017. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my TSD friends!
Nothing provides holiday memories like a home crafted shiv for Thanksgiving, Keith! in other news the Katie’s bubbles is 86’d And I’m on to a Franken soap combo of TOBS peppermint and Sudsy Soapery peppermint and lavender. This improvised croap makes some of the best lather I’ve ever produced. Ho freaking ho!
