    Another great shave with the MdC. I am down to around 30 grams before this one is done and dusted. ​

    You will get there Charlie. You inspired me to get my weight into a more healthy range.

    Yes, the donut hole is mos def :) noticeable now. Switched to the awesome Karve. The D plate is just about perfection.
    I feel quite overloaded on Brut...my chest is getting hairier by the moment.

    Good job, Charlie. Your journey is encouraging.
    Regarding Alt Innsbruck...
    The last two bottles I have had, began to separate. Some weird globules, like oil and water. Had to bin them.
    Weird, because I used Alt Innsbruck for about ten years without an issue.

    Very nice brush, Clint.
    Question: Will you repurchase MdC Fougère?

    Thank you Joseph. I finished up a tub of the original MdC. I prefer the Original and Vetiver. I still have a tub of the Vetiver and Lemon to finish. After they are finished, I will repurchase the Original and Vetiver.

    Had a Brain Bowl of the Original. Excellent Lavender. Never tried the Lemon.

    Yes. The first is hard, and not that good.
    So I use others in superlathering.
    And the second is almost done ...

    Making steady progress with this cream.
    Popped a NOS Polisher blade into the French Leresche #51
    This razor has some teeth. Bit me on the left cheek. Didn't even feel it.
    Sticking with Bay Rum.
    Today is a lovely juice from C.O. Bigelow.
    Atypical Bay Rum.
    Nice juice.

    I’d guess 10-12 shaves left, so about 1/2 way through this 3017. The CL juice is probably less than that.

    I got so tied up with work that I didn't post yesterday. Thus the double post this morning. I am really getting some consistently great shaves each morning. ​

    This brush is a rarity. I do believe there were only 30 manufactured.
    Please, anyone with more knowledge, correct me.
    It was a collaboration between TSN and Mark at Simpson.
    Love it. The flow through is much different than today's tightly bound knots.
    That should not be construed as a skimpy knot...
    au contraire mon frère...

    I had the hankering for a Clubman aftershave product, but after scouring my considerable shave den :scared003:
    I came up empty. :signs002::signs002::signs002::signs002::signs002:
    Maybe Charlie knows where I stashed them?

    I can guess where you probably put them…filed right where they belong.

    Didn’t have time for a pic yesterday. A few more good shaves for sure. This PAA soap is a quality lather, no question. I’m about to drive with some work colleagues for a meeting an hour away…sure hope they like Brut.:)
