Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

Monday’s shave. 
Stiz USSR razor 
Moon Old School soap
Razorock 400 
Vintage Skin Bracer

Second go round with the Old School. Used a bit more product. And more attention to water amount. Better results. Nice soap with a cologne type scent.

Nice ken, I already dragged my hand out for tomorrow's shave.

Great minds think alike.

Tuesday’s shave. 
Geneva Pyramid razor
Noble Otter Rawr
Yaqui Badger
Tabac 

The rawr soap is a very bright “happy” kind of scent. Not recommended for those with the Emo or Goth type of mindset. Those types may also want to stay away from Tabac as this may cause you to not be a whiny self loathing goof afterwards.

Gee, tell us what you really think! 
Cool looking brush handle (also notabley not goth). Sounds like a great shave, Ken!

And, I don't think you can be a whiny and self-absorbed, yet use a straight razor. A straight is too strong, too Brut and Old Spice!

Wednesday’s shave. 

USSR Razor
Razorock 400
A&E Choco Cubano 
Master Barber Spice AS

Decent shave.  But was a little let down by the less than optimum sharpness of the razor.
Hence it shall go onto  the “touch up shelf”. 
Seeing as there are already several other razors hanging out up there. A weekend honing session is now in my plans. 
Hope everyone crossed the half way point of the week in good nick.

Thursday’s shave. 

Double Arrow 66 Razor
LNHC Haute Leather Soap
SV Badger Brush
Nivea Vanilla and Bourbon AS. 

Nice shave with a vintage Chi-Comm razor. The Double Arrow is a nicely done extra hollow grind. 
The brush,soap and AS all combined with it to give easy zero irritation smooth shave. Ready to close out my work week.

This Friday's shave features one of my beloved makers. Robeson. One of the many New York brands that examples of can be had for reasonable prices. And since so many were made. You can sometimes find minty ones. Tonight's razor I got for a few bucks. Because the scales were broken. It also allowed me to try my hand at making some scales. They are Black Walnut that I got  from work. In the form of a log that was blocking an inlet to a pipe. Once I hit the log with the chain saw. The color of the chips, as well as the distinct smell of them. Had me cutting off some chunks and hauling them up the hill to my work truck.  Wish the log was bigger as it could have been worth a good bit of money if big enough to get boards out of. The CBL Cigar Shop Indian has a nice smokey scent and pairs well with the Classic Pitralon. 
I guess I caught Smattayu ,Eric in a very impressionable state. Because I just mentioned he might want to check the Robeson's out. And he already has one on the way. 
I am sure you will not be disappointed with it buddy. From your description it sounds like you have a "New Science Concave" like this one. A couple makers had their versions of this grind. Classic 1900's marketing kind of stuff. Their most prolific "The razor that fits your face" being some of the ones you see lots of.

I am uneducated when it comes to straight razors. By scales, do you mean the wood handle? If so, you did a great job, both in rescuing the wood and in making the scales. Beautiful. Almost makes me want to try it out! But I am fairly attached to my cranial appendages, like lips, nose, and ears, unlike Mr Potato, excuse me, Potato Head!
