    All the right material for a mega-freeze and I must add that I'm loving my old Super Speed so much. It's going to be used with an Astra this week! ;) :D

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Arko Shaving Stick
    Jayaruh #142
    Gillette SS Y1
    Personna Super
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    T.N. Dickinson's WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    The Arko Shaving Stick face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #142 black badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette SS Y1 with a Personna Super blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Fantastic shave this morning with the PAL Adjustable on the second to last setting. Excellent creamy, rich, crisp smelling lather from the Arko Extra Performance shave cream. Three refreshing passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day friends. :)

    ATT Calypso R1
    Feather (1)
    Simpson CH2 Synthetic
    MdC Fougere
    Witch Hazel
    Fine Lavender

    [​IMG]

    The ATT Calypso R1 razor is an aluminum version of the ATT R1 stainless razor. It is machined out of 7075 aircraft grain aluminum and then anodized. The color in person is much darker than it appeared on the ATT website. As expected with an aluminum razor, the Calypso is very light weighing in at 40 grams. Overall the machining of the razor is up to the standards expected of ATT products. The CH2 synthetic whipped up the MdC Fougere into a mountain of lather. When properly hydrated, I find MdC to be more than slick enough. I truly enjoy the Fougere scent. Loaded the razor with a new Feather blade for the maiden voyage, I went with a traditional 3 pass shave, WTG, XTG and ATG followed by touch ups in my usual trouble spots. The shave ended in a smooth irritation free near BBS shave. Once I became accustomed to the light weight the Calypso was a joy to use. The Calypso is just a lighter and less expensive version of the ATT R1 stainless razor. Overall I am very pleased with the razor. I finished off the shave with a splash of Fine Lavender. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

    Gillette Pre-War Tech | Feather New Hi-Stainless (1)

    "Club Humidor" doesn't smell like a humidor, but rather the classy fragrance of a man who would frequent one. While there are some aromatic cedar and cured tobacco notes, there's enough citronella, leather, and amber to round out this cologne-type scent. If you enjoy this fragrance, like I do, you'll want to pick up the matching splash which has nice staying power for an alcohol-free splash.

    Even with the snow falling and the cold air I wasn't going to give up my Menthol Monday Shave and I enjoyed it immensely. The Glacial MITA soap lathered beautifully and hit me with such an icy blast along with so much great skincare. The Diana balm is another terrific face-freezer and as I've said before many times, the Arctique is the most powerfully-mentholated aftershave on this planet. The new Astra in my Super Speed helped to get me BBS so easily! :happy088: :happy088:
