    Early morning shave. Taking the Misses to an early breakfast and a run down to the shore. This was shave #4 with the Wilkinson Pall Mall and it was just amazing. A clean, 3 pass shave that was BBS everywhere. Just a magnificent vintage razor. With the high heat already in the mid 80"s @6am, the Christian Dior Sauvage Balm & EDT finished it of beautifully. Have a great day and weekend plus may your shaves be super awesome Gents.... :happy088:

    Razor: Wilkinson Pall Mall Adjustable
    Blade: GEM SS #4
    Brush: Maggard 26mm synthetic
    Soap: Asylum Soapworks Neroli & Black Pepper Tallow and Shea
    Astringent: DG/Body
    Toner: Manetti & Roberts Rose Water

    Hello everyone. Today's shave:

    [​IMG]

    - Chiseled Face "Ghost Town Barber"
    - Thäter 4125/2
    - ATT Calypso R1 with ASP
    - Thayers Original Astringent


    I usually prefer heavier razors, but I really like this aluminium one. Close and smooth, just the right amount of aggressiveness, fantastic shave.

    IMO, the MT Dark Limes is a distant cousin to the OS. Close, but no cigar. Not an ideal pairing.

    This Electric Sheep sample refuses to die - it gave me another ton of fantastic lather for a perfect three pass shave. That soap has not only a scent which I find very, very nice it also leaves the skin spotlessly-clean, Dolphin Smooth, and with a healthy tingle - my guess would be it's from the mutton tallow. The barbershop I go to sells a couple of the Booster aftershaves and I bought myself an Iced Lime a while back. A couple of splashes of that stuff felt so good!

    Have a great Saturday!

    Soothing Saturday
    This was my first use if T+S Himalaya, and I really like it. The lather is as good as any of the more famous artisans, and the scent is complex and calming. I noticed amber, sandalwood, and others I can't put a name on yet. I paired it with Dr. Jon's Defiance to pick up the sandalwood and add a cool feeling for a humid day.
    Prep: Chatillon Lux butter
    Soap: T+S Himalaya
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
    Razor: Rockwell 6s R6
    Blade: voskhod
    AS: Dr. Jon's Defiance[​IMG]

    The Timeless is such a good looking razor - especially with the scalloped top plate. :happy088:
