Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

Thanks for the kind words Mike. Glad that my attempt at wit and humor was successful.

Monday’s shave. 
This one features an impulse buy. 
I’ve seen this Derby soap off and on over the years. And boredom the internet plus PayPal is a dangerous formula. So I present to you Derby Shave Soap. From the exotic land of Turkey?? 
The Improved Swiss Razor got the call tonight. 
The puck of Derby called for a stout brush so Omega boar  bristles scoured enough soap out of the fancy waxed paper container. To make a thick creamy lather. I spent extra time whipping it up. And the “unique” scent of this soap filled the bathroom. Not quite sure how to describe it. I’m guessing it may be an acquired taste kind of thing. First impression after one use. It’s better than just water to shave with. You can see where you’ve been with the razor. It probably will keep any biting insects away if you happen to be shaving outdoors near a swamp or landfill. 
As I was basking in the luxury of it all. I had an epiphany. 
Why should I hog all this goodness to myself?  
And since my momma always said that I should share my stuff with my friends. That’s just what I’m gonna do. So tomorrow at the UPS store the first leg of the “Soap Box Derby ” begins. 
There will be a new thread in the soap section explaining my vision for this ambitious project. 
Check it out. Look forward to seeing your thoughts guys.

Funny you should be the first one to post up Dave 'ol buddy 'ol pal. The first leg of the Soap Box Derby is from Maryland to Kentucky. 
You get to see what all the fuss is about. Then pick the next lucky person to experience one of Turkey's finest shave products.

Tuesday’s shave 

Allegheny Instrument Corp. razor
SV Badger brush
Noble Otter Fireman
Old Spice AS

Good shave tonight. No pic. Left my phone downstairs and just too dang lazy to go get it. 
Chas. R. Coates Barber Supply Ace Razor.
AP Shave Co. Brush
A&E Revolution Soap (Sample from Dave in KY )
Nivea Bourbon Vanilla AS

The Revolution soap is .....wait for it.....SKIPPY! I have a few A&E soaps so I knew the soap base is good. This scent is very nice. Have made up my mind to limit myself to my current quantity of soaps. Which is 30.  One soap for every day of a month is enough? Right? So when I use up a soap I have a "Batters Box" list. Hope everybody got over the "hump" in good shape. C'mon Thursday.

On those days you use your clown puke. Duh! Didn’t you read the “Rules For the Proper Use of Shave Soap International Edition”?
