    Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - PS Tube 2.0, ASB Star Jelly
    Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - SC, AS/C - Future Fiction
    2019 30DC LE w/Omega 10089 knot
    Toyo Hasimoto 777

    Awesome 3 pass shave later than usual this morning (finally have a weekend off :happy108:). @jtspartan handle w/Omega boar knot made a fantastic PAA CK-6 lather today, very rich and slick. Lots of fun bowl & face lathering. First pass with the Toyo 777 was a smidgeon scritchy, probably not quite enough CrOx linen and leather strop time. Second and third pass was noticeably better, with a DFS+ result today. One corner of the mouth weeper, not a big deal, stopped on it's own while shaving. Finished with PAA's Star Jelly, and then their AS/C Future Fiction. Smooth and smelling fine!

    Time to go finish off some shopping for the last minute gifts.

    Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

    Thank you, Miles! It took diligent research to pick my safety and straight razors. I am not planning on getting any more razors in the near future. Joining the USMC is very noble of you.

    SR Saturday

    Razor: Dovo Inox
    Brush: Razorock Plisoft Barber 24
    PS: Stirling Menthollated Pre-Shave
    SS &AS: Stirling Frankinsence & Myrrh

    Excellent 3 pass shave again this Saturday morning. Very close on my face and close enough on my neck.

    The Frankincense & Myrrh is a nice classic familiar smell. For some reason it brings back memories of my childhood and grandma's house.

    I have zero experience with vintage soaps and very little with blooming. Maybe Joseph @Primotenore can help you out.

    Cool!
    I'm anxious to hear how the Evo synthetic compares to your other synthetic brushes. Might just push me over the edge to buy a Simpson's synthetic.
