And for today the chosen theme was 'ATT OSP ADP BBS and the wonderful world of TLA's'
ATT M2/Kronos handle/Feather
Muhle butterscotch synthetic (again)
OSP Shogun
ADP Colonia Club
A non-Mexican cereal bowl
This time while away I decided to bring more than the usual one razor so now I have an armoury from which to choose. Albeit a small armoury. In fact a very small one at that.
Being the Ikon SB was weapon of choice the last time around; today the ATT M2 was promoted to the rank of field Marshall in over seeing shaving operations. And a very nice choice it was.
I rarely reach for this particular razor and for no particular reason other than once I get my teeth in to something which shines through (I am thinking Timeless here) my vision becomes blurred and everything else becomes irrelevant. But I resisted my usual sense of safety and chose the dark side.
Likewise with the blade. Since being introduced to the Polsilver Lodz every other blade became a distant thought. So again a return to the Dark side. 'Luke I am your Feather'. Heaven in a thin piece of stainless steel
I must say as much I praise the Timeless for its build and engineering quality the ATT is equally so. A solid lump of a razor which feels and oozes quality. Heaven in a thick chunk of stainless steel.
OSP Shogun? I covered this once before and my thoughts remain exactly the same. Bizarre, different and as a cream I haven't come across anything better to date. Close, but not better. Heaven in a plastic tub.
I will say the same as last time because I am totally unoriginal. It is a Muhle. It is a synthetic. It is butterscotch in colour. It does the job of being a brush. Heaven in man made materials.
ADP Colonia Club because it is all that I have with me and if I could live with just one scent then this would be it. After a day on the river on a tug one does need something to offset the grime and sweat. Heaven in a glass bottle.
Mix all this together and perform a full 3 pass shave and the end result is definitely in the realms of a 'smooth operator'. A shave made in heaven.
P.S. You have just got to love predictive spelling. I had to have a little inwards chuckle when I came back and saw 'ADP Colons Club's. Anyone else in a club for a particular internal organ? Spleens or appendix?
sliced my chin in a moment of inattention but otherwise lovely shave. the patrich noir is a great scent but super strong. anyone else ever used it?
