Thank you guys. It’s nice to be home. Sadly, I have to go back to work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Day 9 Is that the bottom of the tub I can now see? Just barely. The Soap Destroyer helped...but I still dislike the handle. Whenever I can get back to the lathe room, I'm making a new handle for it. I need to make a few other things for a few friends as well.
June 26, 2023 Tatara Masamune Feather Tatara Semouge MdC Fougère Myrsol Agua Balsamica Back to work day....So sad the vacation is over. At least, I was able to get a good shave to start the day. I really like this razor a lot. I find it very similar to the Feather AS-D2 with a bit wider sweet spot. I hope everyone has a great day.
Monday, June 26 AoS Rose Absolute~~Culmak 92 ~~Gem Clog Pruf~~Vintage Royall Bay Rhum Day Six. The massive knot of the Culmak struggled to pick up plenty o' soap. (I baby this knot) Kept it wet and we got some powerfully. good suds. The MMOC made its sweet spot known. I was able to keep it throughout. Great shaver. The vintage, made in Bermuda Bay R(h)um arrived today. Delicious juice. Real Bay. (There's a massive leaf in this jar. It's like a ship in a bottle)
June 27 Completed Arkadia shave # 59 yesterday. I can see a slight shadow where the donut hole is beginning to form. This puck has lasted much longer than I thought it would. Great performer, but I am ready to move on. I'm down ~13 lbs and feel better than I have in a while. Annual physical and other tests yielded good news overall. Doc is encouraging me to continue on my health journey. She added a couple of supplements and a statin med, and has encouraged me to pursue a Mediterranean diet for heart health. I'm taking her lifestyle advice seriously. Hopefully this will keep me off the yo-yo diet train. After stocking up on tallow MWF, I decided to tally up the number of unopened soaps in my den. I listed the numbers in my shave den link to remind myself that I don't need to buy any more soap. (I didn't even count the 5 soaps in my current rotation, one of which is equivalent to nearly a double-size puck of Tabac.) This approached helped with blade purchases, so let's see if helps also with soap. Now about aftershaves...hmm? Starting to think I should stock up on some Alt Innsbruck while it is easy to get. I hope you all are having a fantastic week. I'm glad @clint64 (although decidedly more fit, trim, relaxed, and tanned) decided to return to work and contribute once again to the US economy.
@Primotenore .Hello Joseph.after this morning shave i would honestly say that the holy black gunpowder and spice aftershave is near identical to my shulton old spice . tech tuesday brit tech hybrid/kcg wcs lantern silvertip the holy black the cream is nice,similar scent ,nothing mind blowing.,not volumous and fluffy but dense/low structure? if that's how its termed slick with lots of post slickness.doesn't dsissipate at all. i did my 3rd/pick up pass without relathering,no issues. post shave feel is average as it should be as that's what the tonic is for. was cool to finally try it out.won't repurchase. but if you like shulton ,this is the closest aftershave so far imo
Congrats on the progress Charlie. I know how hard it is to get the weight off. I can't believe, I only gained 3 lbs on the cruise. Now I need to get that off right now.
