    January 3rd
    Razor: RR Lupo Aluminum
    Blade: Astra SP (2)
    Brush: WWB Lemondrop/Envy Supreme White badger
    Pre-shave: PAA The Cube
    Soap: PAA Astra Planeta
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    PAA Star Jelly unscented
    AS: PAA Astra Planeta

    Good morning

    Excellent shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Nearly silent alum.

    Astra Planeta isn't a favorite. I think I would like it more if I would just enjoy it more for what it is than what I thought it was going to be. As I'm typing this I keep stopping to concentrate on the scent. Still can't describe it but it's quite nice. It's taking me forever to type these few lines. Astra Planeta may never become a favorite but then again it might.

    Have a great day!

    Very nice Neal! Birth Year FB (missed that in the other post :ashamed001:). Awesomeness.

    Oooohhh....Red Planet, hadn't looked at that one. Sandalwood, like the PAA SSS....is the Red Planet possibly a bit more powdery (sweet)?

    Ditto! :signs011: Clint nails it spot on from my humble opinion!

    I'll add.....the Supply v2 has very little blade feel to me, but that doesn't mean it isn't working. With a Proline blade, I can easily overshave if I'm not paying attention. Handle angle is very natural, like a Gillette or most DEs. The Enoch, again, my world, seems to have a different handle angle than I'm used to. The sweet shaving spot appears be with the handle closer to face/neck. Almost parallel, but not quite, if that makes sense (and I'm explaining it right). I like both, but....not so sure I'd buy the Supply again unless I caught it on a good sale (like I did before the price hike). I don't use the injector process with the Supply v2, I hand load, which is a little fiddly versus the Enoch.

    Happy Friday everyone. The Paladin ate through the R4L and whipped up a rich slick lather. The circle of death is growing to large, so I will need to move the remaining soap to the center of the container. My 6th shave with the Enoch and I continue to like it better and better. Three passes and touch ups along the jawline had the baby within reach. So I went for a 4th ATG pass on my lower right neck to catch the little guy. A splash of R4L AS and a spritz of Guerlain Vetiver EdT and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    I'll add a little more....

    The Supply is a great razor. Fit n Finish first rate for the polished version like Clint said. I likey. Don't know if I'll sell mine, it's a great travel razor (small/hefty/efficient). Several here have it and haven't checked in. My reservation is more from a 'I have something similar that I also like' and with DEs/SEs I'm leaning lately to the frugal side. More $$ for straights and software! One other niggle against it...it's a little narrow. I like wider blades.

    Last thing....don't know how it works for Canada shoppers. And...haven't gone back to look, but, Supply did have a 100 day trial for razor purchases IIRC.

    Red Planet definitely has the Sandalwood going, but it is not straight up Sandalwood like SSS. There is a some amber added, which I pick up quite a bit, but also some Frankincense and Myrrh. I also get just a bit of a floral note to it. To me it is almost a cross of SSS and TOBS Sandalwood, although it is much better than the TOBS.
