March 2017

Went out of town over the weekend and they had a Whole Foods there and I picked up Kiss My Face in Unscented and Cool Mint.

I have not used it yet. I am defunking it as I write this. But, I love the handle. Ebony with a disco belt.

A couple Stirling stainless steel razor handles arrived, the Ft. Worth on the left and the Dallas on the right. They were nicely packaged and accompanied by a shaving soap sample. Both are grade 3, meaning a combination of satin and polished, but I don't see any satin. They have some small tooling marks, but for $37 each shipped I didn't expect perfection. Both have a good feel in my hand.

So purty.

I got one too.

I didn't cheap out though. I got the grade 2.  

It's a very large handle. Doesn't fit in any of my razor stands. So, I will have to go buy a new razor stand.

Very nice handle. Great finish. The business end is wide. I don't think it will work for every razor head. Like a Weber. It's got excellent knurling. Shines like it has rhinestones on it.

That is a beautiful handle!

Thanks celestino !

Mail Call! Today was a good day: I received a box from ShavingStation that had my special order Timor 1361 Safety Razor.  I tried it out tonight and felt that it was super smooth, even with a brand new feather blade locked in.  The long handle 100mm was perfect and it has a good weight to it.  The rest of the stuff was my first Phoenix & Beau soap, Albion...I shaved with it last night as well and it was really nice.  Smell was citrus and lather was fast. Post shave was wonderful. The Myrsol Antesol was also a great acquisition; it burned like hell when I first put it on after my shave but my face feels great right now. The last item is Wickham Soap Co 1912 Citrus Musk; I'll be trying this one tomorrow.
