Liber (and razors) medicina animi

[hugosf]

Congratulations on obtaining your grail razor!

Maybe it’s “the one”. Although, it’s B&B, so unlikely to stop my spendings in gear . One year here and I’m already have too much stuff.

Razor: Rockwell 6C

Brush: SOC Mistura

Soap: Seaforth Sea Spice Lime

Blade: Permasharp (1)

The 6C was my first DE. The original one is now in a newbie home. I found a good deal and you know the drill. I don’t need a new razor, but “this is the B&B way” .

Let see what kind of memories I have using a 6C again . Will be a keeper or a PIF?!

Razor: Blackbird TI

Brush: SOC Mistura

Soap: Seaforth Sea Spice Lime

Blade: Vintage Polsilver (1)

This blade seems a little thicker than modern blades. At first, Permasharp is sharper and less smoother.

About the soup, the scent is awesome

About the soup

Autocorrupt is trying to poison you. Oh no!

Autocorrupt is trying to poison you. Oh no!

I was thinking about the Brazilian customs

Me: Please sir customs inspector, my tax is wrong!

Customs inspector: $100.00

Me: I think is a little less.

Customs inspector: $200.00

Me:

Customs inspector: No soap for you!

 

[thombrogan]

Linha Granado is customs-free for you, but then your SOC Mistura brush wouldn’t be needed. No one can win. I’m sorry.

Linha Granado is customs-free for you, but then your SOC Mistura brush wouldn’t be needed. No one can win. I’m sorry.

Fortunately, as a ordinary B&B member, I have soap for at least 10 years.

The current president want to get at least more 8 billion in customs taxes, so the customs are acting in a draconian way lately.

I’ll hold my purchases from now. Probably I’ll buy more things only in my next travel.

 

[thombrogan]

Very sorry about your president. I blame the USA for providing bad role models. And I’m sorrier that won’t change soon.

 

[hugosf]

I blame the USA for providing bad role models.

We have 4 presidents since the democratic elections returned. One finished his turn, 2 are impeached and one was arrested. The current president was the arrested one. He was released by the Supreme Court, run again and surprisingly won The worst US president would be the best here with no effort

Any news on your straight razor shaving experience?

Any news on your straight razor shaving experience?

@rbscebu Very busy lately. I’m not have time even to shave with a DE. I’ll master SR one day. Slow learner here .

I have to shave very slowly and with extra care, but the shave is closer than my best DE. The closeness is unmatched, although takes a lot of time and focus. The only day I have the time to try SR is Sunday.

Razor: Blackbird TI

Brush: SOC Finest

Soap: Stirling Eletric Sheep

Blade: Vintage Polsilver (2)

The vintage Polsilver struggles a little to beat a 3 day beard. A bit of sting with the after shave.

Razor: Blackbird Ti

Brush: SOC Finest Badger

Bowl: Captain‘s Choice Scuttle

Soap: B&M Passiflora

Blade: Vintage Polsilver (1)

Blade #2 Shave #1

Enjoying a warm lather here in South America Days become a little colder now.

This blade struggles a little to attack a 3 days beard. The shave was smooth and close, although a little more sharpness would be good.

I’ve just finished ”Piquenique na estrada”. This book inspired the Russian movie “Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovski. The book is very interesting, I’ll see the movie next.

Razor: Wolfman WR2 1.25

Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3

Soap: Arko

Blade: Jianyu (1)

Jianyu, the Swordfish blade. This blade seems a little sharper than the Jaws. A little tuggy facing a 4 days beard, but in general it was a good shave.
