Brush: El Druida 28mm Manchurian
Soap: WK King of Oud
Razor: Wade&Butcher 6/8 1/4 hollow(feels more like a half)
Aftershave: WK King of Oud

The razor doesn’t get much use from me because she is a bit small for my liking, however every time I use it the performance is better than most of my larger razors. Pretty much BBS on this shave with the wonderful scent of KoO! Glad I picked this one up today as I have never gotten a bad shave with it. The brush performed very well as I face lathered (I normally bowl lather) and it had decent backbone but I like a touch more than what it provides. None the less the tips are very soft and minimal scritch(another thing I like). Going out of my normal bubble resulted in an excellent shave!

Hybrid RazoRock Game Changer .84 P on Barbaros Levend Handle P / Suneko Platinum Edge / Grizzly Bay Black Hole Sun w/ 25mm Envy White Supreme 2 band fan / Noble Otter Two Kings

Bit of a special shave today, as a Texan and former Houstonian I'd been wanting to try a Noble Otter Soap and watching their offerings, low and behold a rose oud with two kings, RIGHT in my wheelhouse! Couple that with maiden voyage of my latest Grizzly Bay Brush, and what I'm pretty sure is the first blacked out enamel coin, memorable and enjoyable.

SATURDAY'S SHAVE​

Razor - Merkur Futur
Blade - *Fresh Blade
Razor Stand by RV Shaving
Shave Brush - Omega Hi-Brush 20mm Synthetic (Model# 46745 – 0146745)
Brush Stand by Desire Metal Works
Preshave Oil - Lather & Wood's "Unscented"
Shave Soap - Henri et Victoria "Cognac and Cuban Cigars"
Aftershave - Henri et Victoria "Cognac and Cuban Cigars"
Post-Shave Balm - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Mysterium Serum"
Deodorant - Kaia Naturals (Takesumi Detox Deodorant) "Black Oak and Bourbon"
Fragrance - Maison Margiela "Jazz Club"

***EDIT - Fantastic shave. The Merkur Futur on a '1' with a BiC CP blade just might be my best shaver. No nicks, no cuts, SUPER close. Closer than the OneBlade razor. 2-pass + cleanup = BBS. The fragrance of the day is Jazz Club. First time using these products together. Fantastic pairing with Henri et Victoria's Cognac and Cubans. Cognac and Cubans is a bit sweeter smelling than Jazz Club, but on all other fronts have identical similarities. Today's shave exceeded expectations.

 

New
February Favorites!!

February 8

Razor - 1946-'47 Gillette Aristocrat
Blade - (3)
Soap - Stirling 2018 Fair Debonaire - St. Louis (Haverford)
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum

Third shave with the Aristocrat and Voskhod. I chose the Stirling LE soap from St. Louis this past summer, now available as Haverford. I actually already bought a tub of Haverford for when the LE runs out. Gave my Wolf Whiskers some love. It doesn't get out often enough. Looked lonely among those synthetics so I gave it a good soaking and let it enjoy the soap. Great lather and three full passes of relaxed goodness. Finished BBS and went for the Alum to see how my face has recovered from its scalping. No burn, no noticeable irritation. I'm ready to go! I've enjoyed this setup as it involves a full compliment of favorites. Good times. It's nearly Saturday so here's to a great weekend for those who have one! Mine is two more days way. I'll get there.

​

 

So, you got a new knot put in the handle? Looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. That's why I had to have one.

 

I keep mine stocked with what I like to shave with and check my bag. It's worth it
