Hello Joe:
Today's shave was about as exciting as a hangover from a cheap scotch.

Last nights shave was bitter sweet since this Noonan came to me with a frown. After removing the frown, it did not seem to want to take a bevel. I ran this thing on the Choosera 1K for what seemed like an eternity but it would not remove arm hair. Eventually I just proceeded to hone the thing ( I got frustrated after cutting myself twice) and then attempted a shave.


Hot shower, Stephan's,Warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
New Forest Badger
Nancy Boy Shave Cream
T Noonan and Sons "Dominic", 6/8, Full Hollow
SRD P1 Strop
Razorock Aluminum
Vaseline for men


I guess the only real test is the "SHAVE TEST" because although it would not cut arm hair, it gave a really nice, smooth shave. Now I have to clean up the rest of the blade.

Genco Seneca Chief-Acca Kappa 1869(tube)/SRD Vetiver-DB 1.5-Tobs Sandalwood ASB-Creed Royal Oud Cologne

Fantastic shave today and great scents all around on a RAINY Tues... Noah may be bringing the boat around soon today or I may need "floaties". Loved the lather and the Genco was flawless on a three pass shave. Don't really see many of these around any more.
Have a great tues all!
