SOAP: I'm embarassed to say I've had this sample from someone for so long I can't remember who sent it to me (If you are reading this, please let me know) I'm nearly certain that it was Klars. it has a fresh clean scent and gave a great lather that I may have over hydrated but was still a marvelous lather and shave. From the small amount put into the bowl I had enough left after the shave to shave 3 Sherpas and their Yak. Great stuff !

RAZOR/BLADES: So I thought it cool that the blades that come with the Hydromagic 500 Gold were....Gold colored and so gave them a try. VERY tuggy the 1st pass but got thru it and was hoping pass 2 would be better after I just stropped it on my face doing pass 1......NOPE. Switched it out for a vintage Schick twin blade and on the 1st storke it was AMAZING and completed a shave that was for the ages.


One of my FAVORITE brushes and hope Steve aka Graydog is well as he has been absent for some time now.......

Have a tremendous day Everyone !!

SEptember 24th

Almost a Triple Ground Hog, but I swapped the badger out for an AP luxury mixed knot at the last moment! 

The Type G delivered again, but I managed to scrape my Adam's apple so I have a nice big irritated raw spot! Leaked for a while even with copious applications of the styptic pencil. At least I'm not at work so my lack of skill won't be as apparent as it could have been to the world at large!
