Thursday’s Shave


Occam Oren Nano w/feather pro (5)
AP Shave Cashmere
PAA Astra Planeta
4711 AS

Fifth shave on the Feather Pro blade. Holding strong. I usually have to bin my DE blades after 5 uses. Interested to see how many comfortable shaves the feather AC blade gives. General consensus on the web is 10 shaves on average.
Bright scent in this soap. So many notes they are difficult to separate out. It’s nice though. The 4711 is a nice bright citrusy finish, though fleeting.
Pretty much have figured out how to get the best use of the Nano with no nicks or irritation. Going to try the feather super next. Once the pro tails off.
Friday’s here folks. Have a good one.

It’s an Infamous place (Hotel Cecil).

I was shocked to see that soap. Our youngest has a bit of an obsession with Hotel Cecil. It started with her watching a story on it, then not being able to sleep well for several nights. Then she kept reading about it and ended up getting her picture taking in front of it. She pointed the hotel out to us from the highway when we were driving down to Disney. Interesting subject for a soap!

Sounds like you need to get a tub Dave. It’s a nice old school scent. Not strong or polarizing.
Good on her for going there. Confront your fears. Then they die.
Don’t like heights. Go rappelling/skydiving. Afraid of water. Learn SCUBA. Afraid of straights. Get a shavette and put guarded/training wheel blades in it

Or second thought @NurseDave. Get her a tub a brush and a lady Gillette.
Not sure of her age or need. I couldn’t get my daughter interested in using a vintage razor or brush. For her legs. But she was already older when I got into this hobby.

I actually had them all using lather and 2 of the 3 DEs years ago. They all quit after a few months because of the time it took. She had her own DE and I'm curious if this will make her want to try the soap again and get the razor out.

Kids always in a hurry.

I have the missus using soaps and a brush. But she will not give up her Harry’s razor.

You are doing better than me. She just rubs a puck of Williams on her legs and likes her DSC razor. I tell her don’t waste that soap! It’s a $1.50 a puck.

My wife is a big Stirling fan for the scents and performance. She also has Stirling body butter and bath soaps.

Friday is in the history books. And so is my shave.


New item alert. TABAC Craftsman Y'all. I am a huuuge Tabac fan. This stuff is nice. But really similar to the little black bottle of Tabac Man that I already have. Hangs around pretty well. And is light and bright without being too new school.
For the cutting I went with my Genco Pyramid razor. Equipped with a Guanxi edge.
Suds whipped up by the V1 Fluffy Industries Copper Edition.
B&M Nordost Soap a great two scent soap. (Orange and Smoke)
My first Guanxi edge that I put on this razor is "Ok". But I think it could be better. So after this shave I broke the Chinese rock back out. And commenced to fiddling with it. Trying some different Shogun techniques. May keep my alternation with the Nano or give this "new" edge a spin tomorrow. Haven't decided.
Bring on the weekend.

Second place is the First Loser Chris.

 

[Maryland998]

Last two shaves

Both nice as usual. The "refresh" on the Pyramid razor. Resulted in a nice mellow edge. I can see why people lump the Guanxi Stone's ability in the 12K range.
And shave number 6 on the Feather Pro blade in the Nano is still going well.
Ready for the new week, I guess. Hope you guys had a good weekend.

Those monks sure know how to mix up some soap huh?

 

[Maryland998]

Yea Dave I like it a lot. The scent is darn nice too. So many good soaps out there.

 

[dangerousdon]

Anyone else think that that Occam razor looks like a potato peeler?

 

[HMan]

Hotel Cecil soap, oh man is that dank!
