I decided to 3017 a puck of fully-percolated Stirling Arkadia soap. I'll start tomorrow. I recruited shave den assistants this time around. I aim to finish this race in less than 66 shaves. I hope you all are having a great weekend. Mos Def.
I don't know that soap, but I know Stirling makes a fine product. Two thumbs up for jumping right back in, Charlie. I'll forgive the copyright infringement this time. Yes, that's known as...largesse.* *I would have clearly prevailed to the tune of 5 figures, so "largesse" is apropos.
Thanks Joseph. Stirling Arkadia is a Terre d'Hermes clone, so it has a very nice scent. BTW, my attorney invented the word fight, good sir. Tread carefully.
Much like the Maestro, I think 4 shaves on a Feather is just about the max. Great blades. Day 10 of the Haslinger 3017: ‘34 Aristocrat w Feather (4) Omega Pro Historic Embargo
Sunday, March 5 Day Fourteen MWF~~Simpson CH3~~Feather AC/Feather Professional~~Amouage Epic The Uber-soft Best Badger was challenged picking up enough product. This knot has extremely thin hair, which makes it at once luxurious, but also sensitive to scrubbing. Lost a few hairs, but this was 100% user error. Great shave nonetheless and the post shave stank, Amouage Epic, knocked it outta the park.
March 5, 2023 Supply Co. SE Schick Proline Thäter Boar Mitchell’s Wool Fat Speick After Shave I was up and moving very earlier this morning. I as able to get in a very good shave to start the day. This boar is not my favorite but it works well enough to get the job done. I had enough lather for 5 passes or more. I went with the Supply Co SE this morning. It is basically a Supply Co razor with training wheels. It would be very hard to get cut using this razor. Unfortunately, it makes getting a very close shave more challenging. I hope everyone had a fantastic day.
I think my TSD Russian Leather has similarities to Midnight Stag, in that the latter is the former on steroids.
Day 11 Inspired by @clint64 to reach for the Karve with a D plate. Love everything about it and, for me, having it manufactured in Canada is a nice cherry on top. Awesome shave. Loaded in a fresh PermaSharp as well. A great blade, complete with awesome glue dots. @Primotenore rejoice…
March 6, 2023 Karve D Plate Featjer PAA Shaverite Mitchell’s Wool Fat Speick After Shave Happy Monday. Seems like great minds think alike @jtspartan Decided to go with the Karve D plate and a fresh Feather. Just a fantastic shave.
I'm on day 2 of my Stirling Arkadia 3017. Stirling is a lather monster, so this will be fun. We had some high winds on Friday night. Thankfully we had no damage, but I picked up a lot of small limbs today. Our house sits close to the back fence, and our neighbor has a heavily wooded property. We got her permission to remove some trees that threaten our place during severe weather. We had trouble last year with critters visiting us from across the fence. Today my Bride suggested I lay chunks of Midnight Stag along the fence line and in our plant beds. She thought that would repel anything on four (or two) legs.
Congrats to @wristwatchb on getting through a ridiculous number of shaves with Arko. A deal is a deal: I made a brush for a raffle prize and like the colours, so I made another somewhat similar for my bet with Charlie. I hadn’t been in the lathe room for a very long time. I forgot how much I enjoy it. The good news is I didn’t have to raid my pile of beetle-ravaged pine I’ve been saving for @Primotenore ’s bowl (and the campfire…)
