    Birthday shave:

    Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley
    Blade: Polsilver
    Brush: PAA The Solar Flare
    Lather: PAA Astro Traveler
    Aftershave: PAA Astro Traveler

    I was up early this morning to get a quick walk in before I had to head off Lake Charles, LA for a meeting. I pulled out a favorite scent, Astro Traveller. This a fall scent, but I can see wearing it all year round. It opens with a terrific grapefruit scent with a little mulled drink type of vibe. The saffron builds up and begins to dominate followed by an oaky scent. There is a bit of pepper and nutmeg mixed in. At the end, I get a nice tobacco scent that rounds everything out nicely.

    After two passes, I had a near BBS. My skin feels nice and smooth. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Great Blackhawk shave, Terry! Some people just aren't ready to make that kind of switch. The only people I've been able to convert to wet shaving are my oldest sons, and that's because they didn't learn about the other stuff from me. My oldest daughter is now using a Lady Gillette, but with canned goo--I'll take what I can get ;)

    SOTD January 27, 2020

    Prep: Cold water and PAA Cube pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick Proline
    Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
    Brush: Sapele beehive badger
    Soap: Stirling Ozark Mountain
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Ozark Mountain aftershave

    Terrific shave with the Hawk. Two days of growth mowed down with one pass. A little cleanup on my chin and called it done. Not as smooth as some days but just fine for an overcast Monday. Really enjoy the scent of Ozark Mountain and today was no exception. Excellent all around.

    Enjoy your day!
