1 day agoI’ve got one more shave left on my Varen sample. It’s definitely on my shopping list. How does the EdP perform? My Executive Man EdP lasts maybe 2 hours.

I’ve heard the install/setup instructions for Prusa machines are pretty good. Along with hardware to assemble it it comes with a bag of candies and the instructions have you take treats along the way. :)

Fougére Friday!
Have a good one.
I’m still on the pump, so I guess I have longer :) thanks!
Congrats on the kill. I’m days away from killing my sego balm (I think; it’s tricky eyeballing the level).

I had a nice, clean scented shave this morning. The lather gave good performance.
Have a good day!

Today’s a meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. We went with the classic Tabac Original soap. A 30 second load provided plenty of slick lather.
Have a good day!

Something Old Sunday: I pulled out the old tallow puck of Old Spice for today. Great performance and you know… That Spice!
Have a good Sunday!

Cheshire smells so good to me.
Today was the L3++ baseplate’s first back-of the-neck shave. It was very efficient — previously, I was doing a three-pass run (ATG, XTGx2) and today two-pass got me BBS. No cuts, no weapers. Alum gave me an A- all over. Just an extra tingle behind one ear.
Have a good one!
I haven’t. I have the Tabac set locked and loaded if necessary:)

My last home was in a high desert area. We loved that rugged beauty.

I’m sure my quest will end up in smiley straight razors :)
Thanks!

I killed my Proraso Pre-shave yesterday. It’s always sad to me. It’s such a nice jar.
Today was my first shave with the Superslant L3++ (I have been shaving with the L3 base plate). It’s noticeably more efficient. I took it slow and ended up with a comfortable shave.
Base plates side-by-side
L3++ loaded
L3 loaded
Have a good one.
I have two FaTip slants. Il Piccolo Storto Originale (open comb, heavy/thin handle) and Lo Storto Gentile (closed comb, lighter/wider handle).
I swapped handles and prefer open comb with the wider handle. I’m a fan of slants and I’m moving towards more aggressive razors. RR Superslant L3 is my daily driver right now. L3++ is in the mail.
