Shave Soap & Aftershave


Happy Tuesday everyone. Up and moving pretty early this morning. I am continuing to knock out The Dead Sea. As much as I liked the soap, I am ready for it do be done and dusted. The maiden voyage for the CG Level 2 razor. It has more blade feel than the CG Everyday razor along with a wider sweet spot. These two differences did seem to cut down the amount of touch ups required. Overall an excellent shave to start the day. I am off to a client site this morning and back to my home office for the afternoon. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
Some great willpower 3017'ing the RR soap, Clint!
If you need help with anything else, let me know and I'll lip you off about it as well. It seems to have worked...:cool:

Thank you but no Jason. You've been more than enough help thus far. ;) Seriously I loved the scent of this soap but using it every day is making me start to hate the scent. I am so ready for this puppy to be done.
 
Amateurs!

Here's my longest run with a single soap:
May.15.2017 - Apr.29.2019.....P.160 Tipo Morbido (650g).... 23.5 months!!


And I loved every shave!
On purpose?😇
That's impressive, Sam. I used to use a C&E puck from beginning to end back in my Cart days, but they certainly never lasted for two years...
In the past 5 years, I'd guess the longest run with a soap is a week.
 
Yes, on purpose.... I've been 3017ing since late 2012, but somehow I have more soaps now than when I started. Whazzupwitdat? :unsure:

Happy Hump Day Everyone. Another automatic near perfect shave this morning. I have a very busy day ahead so it was nice to start without any drama. I have a feeling the day ahead will provide more than enough drama. I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday. Take care.

Happy Thursday Everyone. Another automatic drama free shave to start the day. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. The CG Level 2 just flat works for me. Off this morning for my annual eye exam. I thing its about time for some new glasses. I hope that everyone has a fantastic day. Take care.

Beautiful set up for today's shave, Clint. I hope things are settling down at work.

Hope the exam goes well today. I had both eyes (@woodpusher take a hike!) examined about a week ago. Everything is OK. I can still spot a gallon (3.8 litres) of ice cream at 100 yards (91 metres). Doc used to tell me to return every two years. Now it's every year.

The exam went well. There was really not much change at all in my eyesight from last year. So no new glasses for now.

I think I had a shirt this color back in the '70s! With big lapels. Love that handle. (y)
 
Thank you Bruce. I was still a young one in the 70s. I do remember bell bottoms and leisure suits. This handle just makes me smile. I saw it on a BST and just had to have it.
