Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - SS & AS/C - Kirimati
Wild West Brushworks - 2 band badger
ABCo 7/8 Near Wedge
3 pass DFS. Lots of fun overloading the WWB badger today, made a scuttle of overflowing lather. No warm trials today, just getting it done, some catch up honey do's in the works. Nice thick PAA CK-6 slickness from a new to me aroma (enablers
@jluc and
@Norcalnewb). This ABCo 7/8 straight is highly polished stainless steel, some really cool tang design done with layered paint. This straight is very quiet while shaving with it's near wedge grind...actually similar in shave/face feel to my neon green Drew Dick straight, but without the smiling blade. Finished the morning routine out with lightly mentholated PAA Star Jelly, followed with the matching Kirimati AS/C.
My nose isn't nearly as detailed as
@Norcalnewb with his descriptions.....but I'll give it a whirl (while also looking at PAA's scent explanation). Definitely a very nice Frankincense & Myrhh combination, with a good follow on from Bay Leaves (there are actually 2 in the bottle). After that, I get the woodsy resin (like you'd have on your fingers after handling a spruce pine tree). Can slightly pick out the sweet coming from the Tobacco and Lavender. The other ingredients I'm not familiar with....so they elude my nose. I should add that Kirimati got a
HUGE thumbs up double take smell approval from wifey. I can also tell this will be a long lasting aroma over the course of a day.
PAA's Scent Notes: Frankincense - Myrhh - Bay - Seaweed - Oakwood - Ambergris - Benzoin - Blue Spruce - Tobacco - Labdanum - Lavender
Hope everyone has a Sensational Saturday!
