    December 11 SOTD:

    Razor: Gillette Diplomat
    Blade: Rapira Swedish Super Steel
    Brush: PAA Starcraft
    Lather: PAA Kiritimati
    Aftershave: PAA Kiritimati

    Another Black Friday purchase showed up yesterday, and I was really excited to try this soap out. It didn't disappoint, in fact it probably exceeded my expectations. There is a lot going on with this scent. It definitely has the Bay Rum base, but I can get quite a bit of the Frankincense and Myrhh on top. There is some added woodiness, which works really well. Behind it all is just a touch of a floral scent that just seems to round it all out. My wife definitely liked it this morning, so I can tell this is one of her preferred scents. Of the Black Friday purchases I have tried so far, I am 2 for 2 with my wife on the scents. That is an almost unheard of streak. I hope it keeps up. I also hope everyone has a great day!

    Beautiful stuff, Jim. I have to say that PAA offers some of the most beautiful packaging available.

    Thank you, Joseph! I would agree, they do a great job of presentation. The new AS bottles are just plain cool to me.

    Thank you, Jim! Based on what I have seen you use, we seem to have similar scent preferences, and I would bet you would like this one.

    Thank you Patrick. I only have one razor that I really know the history - a Krona. Had two of them but when my father asked about a DE set up I offered him a handful of mild razors. He chose one he'd given to me. Not often a razor returns to it's original owner!

    It's working well for me so far. Upside is I get to use more product!

    Thank you Jim.
    Thank Clint.
    Thanks Perry!

    Great shave this morning.

    I hope the picture is better. Trying out some studio lighting that I had laying around.

    I broke the 30dc and used the Oneblade synthetic brush that I received yesterday. This was my first time using a synthethic and I can say that I really enjoyed it. No soaking and it dries quickly. I was also surprised by the softness and stiffness as well. The brush whips up a mean lather.

    Oneblade Synthetic Brush – 20mm knot
    Palmolive Sensitive Shave Cream
    Salsa\Timeless bowl scuttle
    Rockwell 6S
    Voskhod Blades
    Nivea Men Sensitive Post Balm Shave
    Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Lotion

    Two passes with plate 5 and finished up with plate 3. Applied some Nivea and followed up a few minutes later with the Pinaud Clubman Aftershave from the Tabasco bottle.

    Hope everyone has a great day!
