Morning Doug. Jurgen Hempel made just 10 complete Jarwin Deluxe razors which is an exact replica of the Darwin Deluxe razor. Little small in the hands but a great shaver.

 

Excellent pic Jim!

Not bored yet! Now we have to discuss perfection. We all know that only God is perfect. So where does that leave us with a shave that I`m so free of hair on my face. A 2 pass, WTG/ATG and some clean up after each pass. With this Personna razor paired with Gillette`s TwinJector, it is so easy to get great shaves. I`m gonna give the tools the credit for a for BBS or maybe Dolfin smooth. I thank the Lord for such a great shave. God Bess and everyone share my luck this morning.

The Leresche 34 is a pretty aggressive piece (and the Tian Li needs some break in) and I managed a couple weepers on my chin figuring that out. Once accustomed to its ways I appreciated its efficiency, finishing up the head shave portion of the morning show in just one ATG pass with clean ups. A very close shave.

Tabactober Time Out
We delay Tabactober for a day so that I can try a new to me set. Play it Again, Sam is made by Through The Fire Fine Craft and features a very classy combination of ginger, lime and tobacco. I get the scent notes in that order at a good medium strength. Getting this set was a no-brainer for a Bogart fan like me - this is similar to his favored scent, Creed Tabarome Millesime. I don't have any experience with that cologne, so I don't know how close this one is, but I really like it. Ginger should be in more things, imho. The lather was excellent and easily made with this amazing boar - had I gotten this brush back when I started, I may not have tried synthetics.

Great picture and setup. How do you like the soap?

 

I really like the soap - it performs on par with the best soaps. Post shave is extremely smooth.
