Quijote's search for BBS

I know I must have said something to her she disagrees with when she walks out of my office and says, "by the way I threw something away the other day, have you figured out what it is yet?"

LOL, awesome

Ever since trying the Nuavia the other day, I have really started rethinking the performance of all my other soaps.

It's interesting to see what becomes important over time I think. Brushes I still think I'm not too picky about, but soaps, as I some across more that are higher performers, I question what's the point in using those that aren't top notch.

Nice read Don. And I am sadly that guy at the office. My office is a mess. Everything else in my life is kept clean and pretty much clutter free. But my office is full of papers I try to go through it occasionally but usually fail. My admin assistant always gives me a hard time, and I know I must have said something to her she disagrees with when she walks out of my office and says, "by the way I threw something away the other day, have you figured out what it is yet?"

I try to get rid of things as time goes on, but I have one drawer that I am notorious for avoiding.

Most of mine have one redeeming quality or another. But I see myself thinking the heard as I acquire more.

Thanks guys. I think he will do OK.
 
The other Don...

There are some soaps that I keep around even though I know there are much better ones. Sometimes it's an emotional attachment (yes you can have an emotional attachment to a soap), other times there is an aspect of the soap that is just unique. By and large though, I feel the same as you...there are better out there..I just need to find them all.

Excellent question!
 
Sorry to hear about the irritation the other morning, but it sounds like you got a very good shave this morning out of the C&CC.

Right now, the only emotional attachment to a soap that I have is Stirling. It was my first soap. Luckily, it is also a top performer. But all the ones in my den have a purpose. They aren't all on the same level of performance.

No big deal about the other day. I am chalking it up to a bad blade. I will try again with a new one soon. I did get a good one today.

Square guard Shovelhead / GEM Personna
Sorrentino Tuxedo
Stirling Naked and Smooth
LT DC / Captains Choice Lime

I just went with a GEM shave today because I had to be ready by 6. It was an easy 3 pass BBS. Tomorrow will be a shave with the Feather DX Kamisori. I did try out the Lucky Tiger Disappearing Cream. First impressions are that the menthol level are about the same and the scent strength of this is lighter than the Vanishing Cream. It may be a little better face feel, but that may also be because how good the shave was. Will do more testing.

Can you take a selfie after applying vanishing and disappearing creams? Pictures or it didn't happen!

I only have the vanishing cream. The disappearing cream was sent to me to compare them. I will see what I can do with the vanishing though.
 
Razorock German 37
Graydog 70/30
Cella
LT VC / Fine American Blend

Lots to do, so quick entry. Graydog ate some soap. Had enough lather for 3 full shaves. 3 passes with the 37 left me BBS. My face feels great after the salve / AS combo.

Have a great day everyone.
