Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

Thursday's Shave.
Second day of the March Madness sample extravaganza. 
Tonight's soap Ethos DFS Colonia. First off. It's a bright and enjoyable scent. Like it a good bit. Think I may have got the ratio of water to product wrong. The shave was still very nice. But will be more careful upon next use. And start off with a dryer brush and get a denser result. It is a very stable lather. And from all the rave reviews I'm pretty sure it is capable of being better than a "nice" soap. Post shave was still above average and that may also improve as well. 
This is prolly going to be the last time you'll see the Razorock 400 brush, with it's original synthetic knot. Going to get it switched over with the AP Gealousy Badger Two Band that is on the way.  Groundhog day'd the Black Star. As I wanted to judge the soaps performance without the variable of different razors. 
Hope you guys are ready for Friday.

As Queen put it, Ready Freddie!

I saw a YouTube video a while ago. It was a black dude listening to Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time ever In his life. He was blown away. Fun to watch along and see his reactions. He never knew anyone like Freddy Mercury existed.

My favorite group is Rush. I have seen a couple of those videos where various folks are listening to Tom Sawyer or The Spirit of Radio. They are fun and sometimes I get a new appreciation for a part that the person reacts strongly to.

Friday Shave 


March Madness shave soap sample extravaganza rolls on. Tonight’s soap Hub City Friday Night Lights.  Had to use this soap that Dave in KY sent. Cause if freakin Friday duh ? 
Nice scent at a nice strength. Nice base. Works well. Whipped and applied by my nicely broken In Omega Boar Brush. Sometimes when I use this boar. I wonder do I/we really need a bunch of fancy brushes? This is so close to my two badgers at a much much lower price point. Then I push that thought right back down to the dark recesses of my mind. To hang out with the ones that tell me to drive Daddy’s Girl down to Washington DC and treat the swamp creatures like mailboxes. 
Have a stupid fun weekend. Mine is going to be good. Gonna go get some wings with a riding buddy. And catch up.

Well...I was okay with the shave until the Clubman came out.  Yup...that's a stinky one too.  No Tabac and no Clubman in the Danger Den!

dangerousdon I think that a trip to the Doctors is in order. Obviously your nose is waaaay out of calibration.  You probably have a difficult time figuring out when out of date food is actually inedible.  When the milk is sour. If gas is bad or automatic transmission fluid is burnt.  These classic brands have stood the test of time. And you come along and declare them to "stink".    But somehow you and I agree that Monsieur Gold is a very nice scent.  There has to be some explanation for the discrepancy. 
So where in the spectrum of good or bad smells. Do you classify the diaper pail in your domicile?

Today I have some honing to do. These razors came down from Jersey. Kind of pressed for time. So I need to involve the Craftsman for the bevel set. Shave test tonight. Stay tuned stevechuckfrank
