Today's shave - courtesy of the Schick P30 blade - marks this month's final day before replacing it with a fresh Kai Captain Original for August.

I haven't mentioned it lately, but I'm still using Superior 70 Mentolado aftershave splash exclusively. 350 ml - 11.8 oz, made in Puerto Rico. Whenever the bottle runs out and I start a new one, I add 1/3 of a tube of 444 and a tablespoon full of liquified menthol crystals to the new bottle, for ext...

Re: Straight razor vs DE razor...
I've recently reached the inevitable age when the old worn out muscles and bones just don't work like they used to. While I love my straight razors, I don't love the tedious process of maintaining the edge. Example: endless hours of honing (straights) vs. the absolute zero - 0 - time spent on safety...

The Asylum Flying Mango soap fits perfectly in the Mitchell's WoolFat ceramic bowl with a lid. It's a top level shaving soap.

Friday marks my final of the week. Today's soap of choice - Fine's Vetiver. My only pre-discontinued dinosar soap from that seller. The only one of the Fine line that got banished a couple of years ago. Who cares! Their business, not mine! My money, not theirs!$$$.

If that's the way they're still doing it, then it's truly hand-made, and truly worthy of the high degree of respect that deserves.

Re: Simpson Brushes History
When they say "hand made" are we to understand someone picked up a block of faux ivory and used hand tools to give it a uniform size and shape, or does it mean they pick up a ready-made-to-order handle and mount a ready-made brush head into the outsourced handle? Or, alternatively, does th...

It's been a while travelling through the rotation, and this week's soap is Fine's Snake Bite in the push-up stick. The lathering skill was provided by the Elite White Manchurian brush. A great result.

Re: Aerospace grade magnesium shaving brush
I found this:
Is magnesium flammable or explosive?
highly flammable
Magnesium metal and its alloys are explosive hazards; they are highly flammable in their pure form when molten or in powder or in ribbon form. Burning or molten magnesium metal reacts violently with water.

Here it is! Just took a moment to locate it. Mystery solved. Peter was very close....but no banana. I grew up in Bernardsville, NJ and attended Bernards High School ( along with Meryl Streep, among other interesting fellow students ). I graduated from Bernards High in 1966, hence, 'Bernards66'.

Going into the second half of the month, this week's AOS product is Asylum Levine soap, to be followed next week by the remarkably fragrant AOS Rose Absolute. The Thater 4376/5 badger is always a winner.

Re: Gordon or Bernards66
For a few years I thought maybe his screen name was somewhat of a mystery. Last year I read a couple of Gordon's old posts wherein he mentioned ties to someone or something in Australia. It appears that "Bernards 66" is the exact physical address in a residential suburb of Adelaide Austral...

Circumstances worked out that today was a 3 day beard, and thanks to AOS Sandalwood cream, General razor and Kai blade, the shave is great.

It's good to be back home today, and back to my usual shaving gear as noted below.
AOS Sandalwood cream is my choice of the week.
