Jul 20 SOTD: Stirling Synthetic Brush Wholly Kaw Jamestown Gentleman Gillette Red Tip Rapira PL (19) Stirling Unscented PSB Wholly Kaw Jamestown Gentleman AS
Well, I had to do it - my old Glacial MITA bowl is gone and I thank it so much for a year of wonderful, dedicated service! I started the new bowl that arrived on Tuesday and needless to say it's got the same great everything - that love MITA scent, that same awesome, rich, slick lather, and 3x the amount of menthol as the regular MITA version so indeed, I froze my face to smithereens. The Lucky Tiger's cooling, moisturizing, and soothing sensation came in very handy. I finished off a bottle of the Alcolado Glacial but I have a brand-new backup! Three passes won me another Dolphin Smooth Shave! Enjoy your day, guys!

The DE's are one of the best ever made. I easily get 30 superb shaves with each one. I usually switch razors every 10 shaves. Yes, they are from the 70's. Enjoy!!

SOTD: Vintage Dubl Duck Dwarf 5/8," Soap Commander 'Honor' soap and matching mentholated aftershave balm, Brad Sears Shave Works silvertip brush. This DDD is so easy to use— fast & efficient. It's also my smallest straight razor. Great shave! Have a blessed Thursday, gents!
'95 liquid labels is a dupe of Tommy Hilfiger. It's a bright citrusy cologne type scent. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
The brush I'm about to receive from PAA has been described as a great soap-whipper. In my words, I might say it sounds like a "soap magnet".
DdThursday Excellent shave today. This wedge a deeper sound and feels so smooth that I have to check to make sure it reduced any stubble. I still use my Rockwell for touch ups and tricky areas. My straight razor technique has not caught up to my DE skills yet. DdT pairs nicely with Quercus.

Chris Cullen mentioned to me 6 months ago that he is likely going to go away from doing "dupes" of fragrances and phase in his own creations instead. So I suggest if anyone enjoys his scent dupe products to "stock up" on them now just in case he phases them out. When he said that I changed my order from 1 item of each to 8 aftershaves and 3 shave soaps (which should be enough for at least around 8-10 years worth of use considering that I have such a large rotation of other shave products). I stocked up on Royal Garden and '95 Liquid Labels, which are critical to my silver shave kit.
