Technically it was 3017ed. Used it until I couldn't use it anymore. And now there's none left.Hey…congratulations on finishing a soap today!
A very underappreciated gem, that one!I think the universe is telling me it's time for Berber Tiraş Sabunu, AKA...
I used this soap early on and found it serviceable and pleasant smelling.I think the universe is telling me it's time for Berber Tiraş Sabunu, AKA...
Sextoblade Razors were first patented in 1909 and were made until around the 1950s.
Very cool. Kind of a predecessor to AC blades and shavettes. Are the blades hard to come by?

They’re hair shaper blades. Widely available at Sally’s Beauty supply and other such places.
Oh, that's good.
Huh,,, never used one. I have only one open blade shave under my belt.

That is correct . The blades are readily available at sallys or other beauty supply shops or online. Personna hair shaper blades or the Fromm or diane hair shaper blades are all easily found and their prices are not that bad...

Stashed in a closet, this is mostly what I've been using to do a quick tidy up before going out.
I think the soap is DRH Arlington. Pretty sure. Acquired in Madrid. Pretty sure. Housed in a great Captains Choice bowl (I think I won it)
Brush was my first TGN transplant. Just a small 18mm fine badger. Was long my travel brush.
Clog Pruf with 17 teeth. I hated my first CP. Tossed it. Same with the second one. MMOC and Bullet Tip were fine, but a Clog Pruf just didn't like me. Then after a few years someone posted about a 17 tooth CP, how it shaved differently. Lo and behold, it did!
Subtly closer shave than the 1912 of a few days ago.
Razor - GEM Clog Pruf

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of this before. I’ll have to check my collection and see what I have.

I should probably get another regular one to see if there really is a difference or if I just got better at shaving. Or I can just put my energy into finding my Gbar and Bullet tip.
