    Fine Lavender Pour Homme~~Mondial~~Ralf Aust
    SR #46
    New razor today, Ralf Aust 5/8. Picked up this and a Dovo, along with a Straight Razor Designs Strop for a song.

    The seller is a terrific member of another forum. (We would love having him here at TSD)
    He purchased all three from Lynn Abrams about two years ago with the intention of mastering
    straights, but after only one shave, he put them away and never used them again.
    I simply gave them 50 laps on the new strop and away I went...
    I am surprised, however, that the pins on this one aren't tight enough to hold the blade open...:signs002:
    The Fine soap really needs a ton of H2O and my first pass was lacking.
    Fuzzy @wchnu would have called it buttercream and I would have agreed.
    More water for the subsequent passes fixed that.
    This is a scent that actually has the SSA (my new acronym)
    SWMBO SEAL of APPROVAL
    An acronym of an acronym...:happy088:
    I am withholding patent application, so feel free to use it as you wish.
    Excellent shave, the post on the Fine is indeed fine.
    The AS has a nice, albeit minimal burn, but really smells great.
    Celebrating the first day of spring with my favorite flower scent.
    I'll have you know fellow-TSD'ers, that I got up at 4:20am to make this glorious shave
    and report happen. That's true dedication to our hobby.
    Mos Def!

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: vintage Gillette Platinum Plus
    Razor: Schick M1 adjustable
    Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic
    Soap: Soap Commander Drive
    Post: Witch hazel, Country Club for Men Modern Fougere aftershave

    Easy shave this morning. Soap Commander Drive loaded up nicely in the Kong brush. The M1 swiped away the whiskers in fine style. No shave yesterday so there was plenty of stubble to work with. Smooth and comfortable in the end. Splash of Modern Fougere finished it all up. Too bad Country Club changed business models to mainly bath soaps. He doesn't make aftershaves any longer which is too bad as this one is terrific.

    Have a great day!
