Voskhod blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush
"More for You" Shave Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Daxton A/S

Nice, if very mild for me, combo of razor/blade. Really like the "More for You" SS too; lathers like the crazy, gives me great protection and I even the enjoy the detergent like scent. All is well. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Razor: Above The Tie Bamboo Handle SE1
Blade: Feather Professional (4)
Brush: Wild West Brush Works Diablo 2 Band
Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum
Aftershave: Ogallala Special Reserve Double Strength Bay Rum Cologne
Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Lathering Bowl-Blue

Excellent shave after my doctors appointment this morning. See her again in 3 months. So far so good.
First time using the Ogallala and I was very happy with it so far. Really liked the Bay Rum Cologne.

 

Tim... what's the purpose of the caffeine in a shave cream?

 

Pre: Cold water splash
Brush: Vulfix 404 Badger/Boar
Soap: Valobra Cologne
Razor: DeHaven Model 3

Outstanding photo and setup Jim.

 

Thank you Douglas.

 

Allright, you have Home On The Range. Need a commentary on it, as that's on my list to get from PAA sometime(in life, lol).

 

Thanks, Doug....I'm sure I'll have a lot of the aftershave left when the soap disappears(I think it was the 4.5 size soap-looks like a "cake"- a la Williams, etc.)

 

Be funny to see a video of a non-caffeinated soap user. "ALL right guys, here I am with......with....with.....zzzzzzzz"

 

The Bonaparte is a unique scent, it's a blend of Petitgrain, lavender, bergamot, Rosemary, thyme, orange, lime, lemon, tangerine, and grapefruit.
I love it and Dr. Mrs. Primo likes it too.
Stirling and B&M are, IMO, equal in quality. Stirling is a better value.

 

Great shave and it sounds like good news, Douglas.

 

Wow, that's a lot of ingredients in that Bonaparte. I think that was my problem when I tried the Summer Breaks HISTORY 101.....too many ingredients which weren't blended well together.

 

Well, it's definitely a "love it or hate it" scent.

 

Right...I really wanted to love it, too. :-(. Actually, as I recall, I ordered the bath soap, to "prepare me"for a possible shave soap or A.S. later. I finished the bath soap...my poor hands always smelled like a "weird mix of manliness". And now an update-I believe Joseph was talkinabout the Bonaparte, not the Summer Breaks History 101, when he felt it was a love it or hate it scent.

 

Thank you very much Joseph. So far so good.
