Yes. The scents are very pleesant and performance is top notch.

 

That's good. There are a lot of artisans in the US, but it seems like there are less over seas, which is a sad thing. I always like to see a new soap makers.

 

I am admin of a brazilian forum and we are going to do a special edition of another artisan here. We are testing some samples...

 

Awesome! Look forward to the results.

Saturday 4/9/16

Prep: Hot shower, Nivea face wash
Brush: Omega #5575 Boar
Lather: Speick stick
Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC
Blade: Q-Ball Platinum (1)
Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (1, 2, 3)
Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma Alum, Thayer's Witch Hazel pad, Speick AS splash
Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy

I had a presentation to give today, so I reached for the Speick and the darling of my latest blade-testing round, the Q-Ball Platinum. The lather was more than adequate and the blade feels smooth enough to make a body doublecheck that it's loaded in the razor. 3 passes produced DFS+ results.

 

Razor: Gillette Tech 1939-45
Blade: Dorco ST 301 Platinum SK (7)
Brush: Jayaruh JR #45 Walnut Honey Comb
Soap: Jeeves Soap Private Study
A/S: Fine Platinum
Bowl: Once a Marine Always a Marine Scuttle

 

Beautiful photo!

 

Thanks Roby

 

Good stuff and picture @ObiDon.

 

Great shot.

 

It was marketed as a lady's razor but it shaves like nobody's business. It uses a standard injector blade. I prefer the Personna in it to amp it up just a tad.

WOW, that's all I have to say. Amazing first shave with the Sputnik. Very sharp and smooth. It was one of those shaves where you hear the blade cutting but couldn't feel it at all. The blade was so smooth, I chased the baby and caught it! No irritation and DAMN! My face feels great! Have a great day everyone!

Happy to hear you had an excellent shave.
Enjoy your night also.

 

I'm very happy it worked so well for you Andrew! You've inspired me to try again, I think I got a dud.

 

Thanks!

For Sunday it won't be frigid, but still quite chilly!

Here's my setup:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 7
Proraso Green SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Folsom & Company Black Powder AS

I think this will be my first non-Stirling shave in about a week, or even a week and a half. The Proraso Green soap is not a face-freezer but it still contains more than enough menthol to satisfy me. The Gold Bond moisturizer is even a little colder, and the Black Powder aftershave goes on really cold with a gorgeous, long-lasting scent! (Yes, back to my Super Speed for a few days!)
