OCtober 9th Razor: Blackbird OC Blade: Feather NHS (3) Brush: SOC Taj Mistura Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated Soap: MLS Grand Havana Lucky Tiger face tonic AS: MLS Grand Havana Tobacco Tuesday! Good morning! Great shave to start the day. Uneventful two pass with light touch up. DFS. This is only my second use of Mickey Lee Soapworks but as of now I'm impressed. Quick and easy to lather. Thick and slick with great post shave feel. Have a great day! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
October 9 SOTD: Razor: PAA Ascension SS Blade: Voskhod Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket Lather: PAA AGHARTA Aftershave: PAA AGHARTA Additional Care: Stirling Unscented PSB My maiden shave with this razor. It is odd, in that it is obviously similar to the original DOC, but it is also very different. The curvature of the head makes the angle quite a bit different and there is more blade feel with this razor. Both are very smooth, and the grooves kf the top caps in each razor does allow for a layor of lather to be left behind which is useful for some buffing. This razor is also significantly heavier than the original. In fact, this is a heavy razor. This razor is still mild, similar to the DOC. I will give it a quarter turn tomorrow to see how that feels. The initial impression of this razor is very positive, though.
Great photo, Jim! Congrats on the new razor. I don't think I've seen you use that soap and aftershave. New acquisitions as well? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Thank you, Jim! Yes, the soap and AS are new as well. I also got some of the Pumpkin Bay Rum, and will use that this weekend when I have lots of time around the house, as I suspect my wife will approve. I am officially on a NB period.
I'm curious to hear your take on the Pumpkin Bay. Good luck on your NB. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
OCtober 9th NEW SC w Vintage ‘The Spoiler’ (3) TGN Finest/Maple Palmolive Menthol Cream Thayers Barrister’s Reserve Cool 3rd shave with the NEW and Spoiler. Hadn’t pulled out this quality cream in quite awhile and was rewarded with a good lather and a nice ‘wake me up’. 2 passes and a little neck touch up has left me pretty smooth again. Have a great day all!
@jluc , cookies and jelly doughnuts are on the way from Kentucky. For some reason, a surplus Cartel shipment arrived here this week. I'm happy to share. Enjoy, my friend.
