You have influenced my shave later today. It shall be the Gibbs w/ clouds handle paired with my Greydog brush. Software is usually a crapshoot with me. Either Ethos or Williams since they’re both out on the counter. Hmmmmmm...... maybe the fabled ShoGun edge’d straight from Fluffy....... I dunno, but I do know there will be a shave. 

Either sounds great John

Razor: Gibbs #15 Clouds Brass Handle
Blade: Wizamet 
Brush: Graydog Quilt
Soap: Dr Jon's Savannah Sunrise
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Stirling Peach
Fragrance: CK One

1st off I forgot to mention that the gentlemen known as primotenore and I had exchanged some frags samples. I sent him the older Terre D"Hermes Edt and he sent the Parfum to me to compare. He has a much more refined nose and descriptions than I. My take was the opening of them had the Parfum slightly less dirty citrus and more to the bright side but on dry down they were very similar. There has been discussion that the after 2015/16 EdT is weaker. I was curious and have confirmed that the replacement should be the Parfum to get the same effect.

Just an amazing shave with the Gibbs today. I had not tried it with the Brass aftermarket handle yet and wanted to try it. I like both the extra weight it gives as well as the slightly more handle length. It was a winner for sure and we are glass like smooth today. Took today off the 1508.5 Project on Steroids but back at it tomorrow. Topped with some Stirling Peach Splash and some CK One EdT. Have a tremendous day guys !

Great write up Dave, and especially interesting to me. I’ve wondered about Terre d’Hermes ever since I got a bottle of their cologne. Granted, colognes tend to be weaker than EDTs and EDPs, but the projection on mine is really “intimate” (where “intimate is the euphemism for “meh”).  IIRC mine is post 2016 too.

Beyond that, your new-handled Gibbs is a really sweet looking razor!

Thanks Mike

Saw this and thought of you, Dave!

Watched the Super Bowl last night and didn't really care who won. Wasn't the best game to watch for me. Too 1 sided to be exciting. Back to the 1508.5 Project in steroid mode. The ring is growing...................slowly but will be killed in February for sure with some extra focus of 4-5 days a week. The Type F is just a cool Injector that is very efficient when wielded with focus. Topped with Humphrey's, Ethos and CK One. Some Cake and Coffee while perusing the forum before heading out the door for a long day. Waiting for the temps of 18 degrees to get a little higher before working in it...................Couldn't decide on which picture so you get 2. Feel free to vote on your preference. Have a great day guys !!

Thanks Paul

I vote for number 2. 

I vote for number 2. 

Thanks Ken, #2 has been the consensus favorite here and on TSD

Number 2 for me, also. I think I definitely cause my wife to wonder if I bought stuff outside. Posing your shave stuff, and putting it on the internet?!
