You too, Charlie....just to clarify, I meant when you get closer to the end of the puck, not the shave itself. Someone sent me a sampler of Midnight Stag. I might do a "hand-lather" of it(reach into it with my finger and rub it on each cheek and let the brush do the work). I will indeed be at Acton Piggly today-let's see who notices the Clubman(but more importantly COMPLIMENTS me for it. I never get verbal comments.)
I'm going to use a shaving brush and administer the MS to my face and neck-can't say it will be 37 times, though.
Saturday, February 11 Day Ten T+S Kyoto~~CH2 Synthetic~~Gillette NEW OC/Gillette Silver Blue~~Vintage Dior Fahrenheit EdT Like @Paul Turner just mentioned, the lather actually does improve with usage. Is it the user, or is it Deus Ex Machina My lather was outstanding and subsequently, my shave was too. Stank du jour was an 80's powerhouse.
Yup. Common on GSBs…PermaSharps are often worse. They don’t seem to bother me the way they do you, Maestro.
Good plan, Paul. A gal sitting next to me scrunched up her nose and give me the look once awhile back. I think (hope) it was just due to a poor aftershave choice.
It takes forever for me to use a bottle of cologne, but I'd definitely consider adding Eau Suavage at some point. Besides, it's more appropriate than wearing Stetson when attending the Opera.
February 11, 2023 Tatara Muramasa Feather Tatara/Semogue Boar Mithchell’s Wool Fat Barbarrey Coast Havana Aftershave This morning was only my 3rd shave of the month. I will never finish this MWF at this rate so I really need to up my game and shave more often. After the long run with the Feather AS-D2 I decided to break out a the Tatara adjustable and matching brush. Loaded with a fresh Feather blade it the razor did a great job in mowing down the stubble. A splash of Havana aftershave left me smelling fantastic. I can't ask better than that for Saturday.
My friend, it was YOU, who taught me, what would evolve into, "Fast 'n Loose lathering procedure"™, HOW to Lather like it owes you money and is...something, something late, yada. BTW, great shave. Next to vintage Williams and Arko, which are SMALL pucks, MWF and Tabac are the pinnacle of the 3017. Yes, I have 3017'd a puck or two of The Fat. The more I used it, the more spectacular the lather.
I don't remember, Paul. I know that some folks are sensitive to scented products. I most often don't wear them to the doctor's office for that reason. In this case, however, we were in a group setting with some other couples.
I finished my last puck of MWF fairly quickly. However, shaving daily helped move it along. Tell me more about this “Fast ‘n Loose lathering procedure” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
For Day #4 of my Titanic/3017 contributiom, not as good as before, but could have been worse. 2. Same general arsenal, but I had the Razorkc Plissoft "400" brush out. 2 passes. 2 Cuts, 1 Knick and zero polka-dots, again all along Porcupine Alley. Maybe I'll just grow a beard there so as to avoid any more cuts there. Ahhh, I dunno. No other bad spots. More Clubman goodness at the end. Pretty Outstanding for this Super Bowl shave.
