What's new

365 Shaves

I had some account issues that are now resolved, so I am back.

01/01/13 - Lord L6 on a Weber Classic SS handle, Shark SS blade, Williams soap, Omega 10075 brush, Nivea balm, and Master's Bay Rum AS - Result: DFS+
01/02/13 - Lord L6 on a Weber Classic SS handle, Derby blade, Williams soap, Burma Shave brush, Nivea balm, and Master's Bay Rum AS - Result: BBS-
 
I figure I'm not buying new stuff to experiment with, time to play around with what I have on hand.

I paired up a 1922 Tuckaway head with a Durham Duplex handle and a Gillette yellow. Made a pretty decent effective combo. Nice weight, little heavier on the head as far as balance goes, but that is a matter of realizing it's heavier and letting that weight work.

I also decided that I really don't care for DR Harris, so that puck will also go up for trading at some point. lol 3 days into restraint and I've already culled 2 soaps out of rotation.
 
I am relatively new to shaving soaps so I only have a few samples and 1 puck of Queen Charlotte Soap so I don't have much to experiment with... yet. I have some Mike's Natural Soap on order, and will probably be ordering a couple more things.
