Reasons why I mix my coffee with whiskey, my list of bodies I have buried in the woods, and other thoughts while shaving

LOL - I was literally just looking at this! You definitely can’t beat that price for an all stainless steel, made in the USA razor! And since I have a buffing machine - I can make it great!
It's got me on the fence, I've never used a stainless steel DE, only the stainless steel Supply razor.
I so rarely use a DE that it would just be collecting dust for the most part...
You can do it! Branch out…….the shaving gods want you to be happy
And that is different from your 1354 straight razors that you have biding their time for an appearance on your YouTube channel how?

Orange themed shave today…..I don’t know what the reviewers are talking about this being strictly a warm weather frag - this is just as strong as the EdP IMO - nice orange - though definitely brighter than the EdP. I love shaving with a wedge. @Luecke3262 was right in his last video - I think, while much heavier than my full hollows - this does give you a little leeway if you stray from the perfect line, plus I think it is easier finding the right angle. That being said, if you do not pay attention - part of your nose is coming off
Busy Busy Busy at work….Nothing else to report.
Have a great day!

Thanks on the wedge - the ironic thing was that I bought it originally because it was the only one Koraat did with olive wood scales which I really like.
This version of TdH I’m good to go, no headaches - It doesn’t have a Vetiver note (at least not listed) but at the same time, does have that TdH DNA ….so I don’t know if it is psychological or real - but I’ll take it! On the Vetiver thing - I think this must be hereditary…My father after he turned 40 was the same way - he loved the smell of fresh cut grass but come Spring - he was practically on a Chlor-trimeton drip
. I didn’t start to have issues until I turned 50, and luckily it’s only a few frags. And this one does the trick - get the TdH feeling without the headache!
NO JOKE LOL

Razor: Aylsworth Kopparkant
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 2nd use
Brush: Boti Brush Classic Stable Wood & Green Resin
Bowl: QShave Deep Scuttle
Preshave: Razor Emporium Pre-Shave Soap
Soap: Barrister & Mann Citricuya Puck
Aftershave: 4711 Original EdC Aftershave
Balm: Zingari Man Unscented Vegan Balm
Additional Care: Zingari Man Rescue Potion
Fragrance: Floris No. 89 EdT
The products selected were chosen strictly to compliment the cologne - new to me Floris No. 89. Right up my alley, I am really digging it. Exactly what you’d expect of a classic - fantastic citrus top but with a nice nutmeg hit to give it some depth, lavender and other florals in the mids, and a sandalwood and musk at the base. This is just classic stuff.
Just chilling today. Have a fantastic day!

So the soap/AS are a nod to that time in 1997 when some V shaped object appeared with a bunch of lights in Arizona (of course, it had to be there or Nevada - the two places where the really crazy people live)
And that’s all I’m going to say on that subject. Moving on….the scent is actually a really nice, can’t put my finger on it though it has some familiarity about it….nod to traditional, almost old school with a modern twist thing. Really nice and it goes with a good deal of what’s in my frag collection.
Aidan and I are going to do a STEAM project - and off to do a river walk today. No life schools class. Then a Zoom call - I hope you all attend!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
