SOTD-30jun16:
The Single Edge / Personna
Vie Long Silvertip Beehive
Sapone Di Paolo Piccante
Fine L'Orange Noir

The last scent that I picked up of Sapone Di Paolo is Piccante(Lavender & Black Pepper.) I was a little worried when I bought this, because sometimes "spicey" means irritation for my skin. This was NOT a problem with this soap. The black pepper is blended very nicely with the lavender. The scent strength is light to medium. The scent is definitely there during lathering and the shave, but seems to rinse away afterward. It doesn't interfere with the AS scent at all. And, although I'm a fan of just straight lavender scents, this is a wonderful twist on the lavender scent. Did I mention this soap lathers itself?

The Supply Provision Co. The Single Edge has been a fairly impressive razor for me. I was heavily into injector razors last summer through the beginning of this year. All vintage Schick, Gillette, Pal, and Personna injectors. Mostly Schick, though. I've been using the medium guard plate on The Single Edge and the same modern Personna blade that came with the razor. My shaves have been pretty smooth and close. It's only 3 shaves in, but I feel like this razor is giving me what I like from the vintage Schick injectors with the added weight of the stainless steel. I'll keep it around and shave with this injector. I think the next step is to put a vintage injector blade in this one. I have a preference for the vintage injector blades. YMMV, of course!

Been out a while. Found myself having to travel for work on an open reservation. I was able to drive so I took a good selection of gear. First stint was 5 weeks away, This is what I brought. I was having deliveries to myself at the Hotel, so I threw in a TABAC Stick to one of the orders. When it came time for my day's off to travel home, I arrived Home the day after my B-M 42 was delivered. Used that at home, and brought it back with me. Also changed up the razors. I took the same handy travel case and handles, but added a NEW Deluxe, pre war Tech, and Old Type Heads. Also brought a 1914 Lather Catcher in a GEM Bakelite travel case. Luckily the last stint was 7 or 8 Day's, but when I got the news I had already ordered a couple more razors. I ordered a Phoenix DOC and a Fine super-lite Slant. Got the Slant a few days before leaving and got some really good shaves with it. The DOC luckily arrived the day before I left. Lather was B-M 42 with maybe one shave with the TABAC stick.

Almost forgot to add, but for some reason I bought a Micro Touch Cartridge razor while I was home and used it 2 times. It was rough out there with the working hours, I really wish I hadn't.
