    SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11 (A day to rival December 7)

    Well I tried this Baume.BE stuff everyone was raving about. I was planning on using it for my G7DC starting tomorrow, but after today will shelve it for my den clearance coming up in a week or two. I may have received a bad batch; it was yellow and stubbornly refused to produce a decent lather, and believe me I tried everything - little water, lots of water, face lathering, bowl lathering, three different brushes - to no effect. The lather produced was frankly meh, and not slick at all! Thank heavens for Argan oil which did add sufficient slickness. I completed the shave, but certainly will not use this stuff again!

    Other than the sub par lathering experience, the rest of the shave went well. The Saito SK3 could easily become one of my favorite razors. It delivered the same level of velveteen shave it delivered on its first outing. I loaded my Schick Type L Paul Revere with a Schick Twinjector blade and cleaned my dome stubble right down to the skin line. I’ll admit that after my mug lather, I grabbed for my faithful Nancy Boy and had a great velveteen dome shave. The Paul Revere has usually been a relatively mild safety razor, but the Schick Twinjector seemed to increase its efficiency. The shave was refreshing, cooling and velveteen despite the dud lather start. All worked well. I feel refreshed and ready for the day!

    RAZOR: Saito SK3 (Mug), Schick Type L International Silver Paul Revere Model (Dome)
    BLADE: Schick Injector II
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan oil
    BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute w/ Two Band Badger Ferrule
    CREAM: Baume.BE (Mug). Nancy Boy Signature (Dome)
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with NB brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Balm.

    A Wonderful Razor the Le Grelot 6/8 lent to me by a good friend as I had never tried a French Straight before , I have to say I really like it , lovely weight and balance.




    Continuing my trials with the PAA Soaps today I used John Frum , this one is the CK6 base that I never used before great PAA performance and post shave not too much different except the lather is possibly cleaner and lighter, Another fragrance that wasn't really my cup of tea. Hard to describe but for me in was not a classic Neroli but a bit towards a Neroli which I never enjoy. Purely on Fragrence it goes to position 3 in my Table , Preformance of all has been excellent.

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
