22 hours agoIs there anything stamped into the bottom of the baseplate?
It looks like it might be an early 1900s Gillette Tech, though I haven’t been able to find an example that has that handle shape.

Talent Soap Factory - Kittyhawk
Why not a bit of early springtime?
Notes: salty sea air, dried coconut, eucalyptus, jasmine, clove, vetiver, driftwood.

The hunt continues. I’m almost at full-on soap donut status.
I’d love to get this Wallflower scent in soap form if TSF ever puts it out. I’ll have to keep an eye out. It’s a delightful scent.
Have a good day y’all! I’m off for a week after today, and then only two more days at my current job next week. I’m very excited for the change.
Did you feed your entire den into ChatGPT?
Wow! That Compax is such a unique looking little razor.
It’s funny, I’ve never thought to myself that the length of a razor’s handle was too long for travel. It’s a really interesting concept, but I wonder whether it was a solution looking for a problem.
Very cool though, thanks for sharing.

Back to the GTB hunt. I think I’ll be done in the next two weeks if I can stay focused.
Gillette Slim gave a great shave. I’m consistently impressed with the quality of the shave I get from vintage DE/SE razors.

An easy shave on a beautiful morning. I’m busy with errands today and then going to the symphony with my wife this evening. Should be fun!
Have a good Saturday y’all.

The first quick shave with this adjustable went pretty well and Black Ice was a nice wind down to the week.
I signed a contract this week to work for a new employer starting mid-February! ✨
I’ll need to be in the office a few days a week, which will be a pretty big change, but the pay and opportunity for growth are both a definite step up for me. Very excited!
That’s awesome! I’ve heard good things about the riding in Vermont but have never been. I didn’t really get into snowboarding until we moved out west.
I assume there’s a decent amount of snow given all the weather y’all have gotten this winter?
Nice, I dabbled with bass in high school but it never really stuck. I hope you’re able to keep up with it!
In my experience, stringing together non-zero days is the most important thing when learning a new skill.
And yeah RIP David Lynch. I heard he passed from emphysema cause by smoking, which is a horrible way to go. I’m so grateful I quit smoking when I did.

Superlative results from the MMOC. Three passes, no irritation. I love this little razor.
Black Ice into Lavanille works very well, I’ll have to remember this combo.
Praise Friday y’all!

Another quick shave. Meetings --;
Kittyhawk fits the bill for an aquatic scent IMO, and it’s a lovely slightly sweet summer scent. Notes: salty sea air, dried coconut, eucalyptus, jasmine, clove, vetiver, driftwood. Good stuff.
Light on the post-shave fragrance today since I have a dentist appointment this afternoon.

This is such a good scent. A shameless dickhole today and it’s totally worth it.
I scored a deal on a DFTR set on the discord, very much looking forward to using it.
Congrats on the kill! 👏
You were much closer with Caoba than I am with GTB. I probably have two weeks left in the tub at least.

I’d call this on theme. I definitely count Leviathan as a gourmand.
MMOC gave a great shave as always.
