2018 shave #360 (DE:138 SE:103 Str:116 Cart:3)
Psycho w/ Feather (1)

Nivea 2:1
SV 70th AS
Some of you might have seen that KY Dave hooked me up with a source for a psycho razor. I arranged a deal a few months ago and while telling my wife about it commented "So I can wrap that and put it under the tree for you?" So I didn't see it until I unwrapped it yesterday. Forgot off and on that I'd even gotten it. It's a nice shave with the Feather. Got a standard BBS with a touch of alum sting on the neck. Not as efficient as the moderns I have, but certainly good enough to be used as much as any other DE. Just like any other older razor, one wonders what this one has seen.

I always especially wonder what a Psycho razor has seen.................Nice Dave
Interesting question. Similar for sure.

My sister’s boyfriend has a psycho. They’re pretty cool! Like KY Dave said, it definitely makes you wonder what a razor like that has seen.
Psychos are interesting for sure but I am jonesing on OC razors atm. I have 2 one GEM MMOC and now the Piccolo.

Psycho w/ Feather (2)
Custom synth
Oz Winter

Nivea 2:1
Penhaligon's Satorial
This was my first use of Oz. From the tub the scent was peppermint with what I felt was chocolate, but if you think about a Christmas setting, the mind could be fooled into thinking it's ginger bread. On applying the lather to the face, it became all peppermint which in turn became pretty much all cinnamon. Similar to CBL's Valentine's In Your Face (self renamed) but CBL has much better slickness. I got a little tingle with the Oz soap, and was waiting for it to turn into more, but it never did.
Been mostly keeping up on the forums, just not responding as much as usual. I know, just less heckling from the peanut gallery.

I miss the heckling.............never answered what size the other 2 Paladins are? 26 mm ?
Heh, I didn’t know. I just went and checked. Yep, both 26mm.

I'm glad as you wanted smaller ones.

Agree with the peppermint/cinnamon scent on Oz Winter, but I felt like once lathered it got a bit more complex. I like it for a Christmas time scent. Also, if you’re saying CBL has more slickness, I definitely need to try some! I feel like the sickness in Oz is great.
Try some A&E. To me that's tops.
Yep, just got them put on the shelving so I can use them. My parents have the bedroom so I haven't gotten all my stuff in place yet.

Closing in on shave #365 just in time! Had some good days with the family. Played Relative Insanity last night. It's like Apples to Apples except the sentences and punch lines are about family. It was so irrevent and funny we were in tears playing it. Going to the other side of the bay this afternoon to bum around a small town and then see some friends.
