I will be keeping your shave notes in mind, although loading won't be the same with a sample.Mike, I agree it won't be the same with a sample. It's been awhile since I used the sample that I have but I don't remember it being near this creamy and shiny. Either my memory has just gotten worse than I think or perhaps I didn't take it as far with water or did not have enough soap as I had a ton on the brush today. Totally different for me when I load off a tub versus a sample in a bowl.
That's good to know Dave, and it's not surprising, so I'd bet your memory is right. - Thanks

Fair enough. I prefer leather or island lime myself. Good to see you Chris. Hope you and yours are well.

Razor: Star Lather Catcher
Blade: Gem (?)
Brush: Trotter Handcrafts/Brown Synthetic
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance: Avon Premiere Luxe Oud
It's name drop day !! So it's a Wool FAT Friday and a chance to finally use my New Stubble Daddy Trotter Handcraft brush handle with it's new Maggards Brown Synthetic knot. I liked the look better than the Synbad. Worked perfectly with "The Fat" and got a nice slick lather going for the Star Razor to do it's thing. This thing shaves great but I never cared for the little and thin handle. A member makes a little adapter screw so I can now use any handle I want and the RR Super Knurled does feel good wielding this tool now. The blade stops are getting pretty worn on this old girl so I may try to tweak them up if I can or will need to try to find another. This one was a generous gift from Steve Graydog Topped off with another gift from the Infamous Ken Fluffy and I wish I could get to Germany and get a case of these to share and have backups. He says it's a cheap drugstore aftershave there but it is a nice light scent and feels great on the skin. Great stuff you can't get in the states or off the Bay..........Next from Russia that finally arrived after 2 months is the Fragrance from Avon

That's right Avon is still around and I believe a bigger thing in Europe now than the US. This is a win for me and we'll see how good the legs of longevity are with it. Thanks for enabling me Joseph primotenore Not an expensive one at all especially if you hunt where to get it. I've seen it for $20ish shipped and as high as $50. You know this old horse trader found it for the cheaper from Russia verses other Countries. Well work was on tap for today but the Out-Laws need a hallway light installed with a switch so I need to crawl in their attic and run some wiring and cut some holes in sheetrock for devices. I could do it over the weekend..............................Nah. Or ask the Boss for the day off and get it done today. He's a jerk but in the end he (Actually that's ME) gave in so the weekend can be used to accomplish other things. Have a Stupid Fun Day folks !! (The emergency rooms are open for you)
