Imagining solutions for imaginary problems
I'm late posting (as usual these days), but I did manage to get a really nice Gem Damaskeene OC shave. I've never used a soap more than a handful of times in a row, but I have been enjoying the B&M 2020 Hallows. The maker describes it as based on the fall scents that are found around the area of Copp's Cemetery in Boston. The scent is a sweetish, earthy smell that initially pushes you away, and then after a brief moment, it draws you in and compels you to take deep, delicious breaths. I spent several years of my childhood in that particular area of the country (Boston, Lexington, Concord), and my absolute fondest memories are from Trick or Treating on a brisk fall evening, with the leaves crunching underfoot and the adrenaline spiking as you knocked on a strangers door to solicit something sweet to eat.
The Hallows continues to be lathered with my orange-beehive-handled Plissoft (not pictured this time), and the blade itself was a GEM SS PTFE. The shave itself was outstanding....an extremely comfortable DFS. As an unabashed lover of the open-comb, I am very happy to be able to use this particular razor.
