I was not feeling well this morning, but this shave made me feel a bit better. I could not fully appreciate the scent due to an allergy flare up, but what I could smell was comforting and pleasant. Does anyone else shave to feel better?

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Rockwell 6s R6
Blade: Super Max Platinum
Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer
Lather: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum
Aftershave: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum

Excellent review! Kyoto sounds like a interesting scent. Performance of T&S is top notch.

 

Hope you have a safe trip Steve! Paris looks like a beautiful place, lot of rich history and awesome architecture in Europe.

 

I've not shaved to feel better. But I always feel better after I shave. So......yes, maybe I do.

Lllloooonnnngggg time since I used the Damaskeene. Very smooth, comfortable and extremely mild shave. Had to make a 3td pass (usually do 2) to get the results I like. Probably me not getting the angle just right so will try again tomorrow. The VDH/TGN brush is a lather hog and now I remember why I don't use it often but it is soft and feels good on the face. Anyway, all is well. Now go enjoy your day folks.
