Country Club Spice Trail today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a Vintage Wilkinson Sword “Light Brigade” NEW Chromium in the Gillette Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

Good morning gentlemen. A truly fine three pass shave today with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Marvelous lather from the Speick shave cream. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

I finally got around to touching up my Genco Vanadium last night and used it this morning for the first time in a couple of months. It was a superb shave!

I decided to try a Super Max blade in my Vision with very good results. I made the first pass wide open, and it was comfortable even though I could readily feel the blade. This owes to the optimal lather from Bon Vivant, I still dialed down for subsequent passes, still winding up with a very close and comfortable shave. The toner leaves my skin soft and moisturized and smelling great.

Rating: 5 / 5

Blade: Super Max Platinum

How is that Bergamot Lavender? I've begun to give that one some thought.

Black Bot is an awesome fragrance! I purchased a sealed vintage bottle of Black Belt, the inspiration for Black Bot, and I like it even better. I use this combo often, but I haven't done a SOTD pic with it since December 10, 2017. The reason I haven't done further Black Bot SOTD pics is because this was an incredibly lucky amateur shot that I don't think I could ever top. Here it is:

Thank you! They're certainly fun to do.

BBS in two beautiful frigid passes - a wonderful birthday shave. My joy is greatly diminished because it's my first birthday without Dad.

See you all soon!

 

Fabulous Freeze Birthday Wishes.
Dad was lucky to be loved so!

 

You have Drakky Noir, eh? I'm pondering getting Doc Ezlovan's version of that. Great fragrance, as I recall... Might even have the honor of winning a Stoylin Tony Award nomination.

 

Happy Birthday @Yehuda D . The "firsts without" are quite difficult. I have one more to go-what would have been Mom's 89th birthday.

 

Happy Birthday Jeff.
Ich wünsche dir alles gute und verstehe gut wie es ist einen Vater zu vermissen.
