Terrific shave and picture, Blair!

 

Thanks Joseph. We are doing great. I hope you and your family are also well.

Floid and Aramis have been my combo for the last few weeks. It seems to work, but I don't expect to earn bonus points for scent or color matching of my shaving accoutrements.

I'm plowing thorough my Floid and have a couple weeks left. TBH, I'd like to get rid of the large bottle before I manage to drop it on the tile floor. Then I'll likely pair up the Aramis with some Alt-Innsbruck.

 

awesome shave and pic Blair..

 

Just beautiful, Blair. I have heard lots of good things about the Haverford.

 

For crying out loud, I'm a technique guy.

Aftershave and soap scents don't seem to hang around long, so I usually don't worry about the pairings too much. I just use what I like. I am careful not to over apply anything with a scent. Here's what I have, and I would appreciate suggestions. I already pair the L'Orange Noir with the TDH.

Aftershaves: Alt-Innsbruck, Captain's Choice Bay Rum, Fine L’Orange Noir, Fine Platinum, Jeeves of Hudson Street Blood on Steel, Stirling Blood on Steel

Colognes: Aramis EdT, Aramis Tobacco Reserve Eau de Parfum (unopened), and Terre d’Hermès Parfum

As I have been doing with my soaps, I'm working toward 3-5 aftershaves and 3 colognes.

 

You must immediately enjoy the Aramis Tobacco reserve. Post-haste!
Love Alt-Innsbrusk.
CC Bay Rum is a good juice.
My wife loves the Fine LOrange Noir...on my cousin!!!!
My dad wore Aramis, rest his soul.
I have always wanted to try the original Terre d'Hermes.

 

How true that is!

 

nice selection Charlie.for the seasons.do you like aquatic scents?

 

I love that quote. It's like compound interest--you don't see a difference from day to day, but over time... wow! Stalactites are made that way. Canyons are carved that way. So are people, and all you have to do is just try to be the slightest bit better today than you were yesterday

 

Wonderful shaves Bill!

 

Awesome shave Blair!

 

I probably have a poor attitude when it comes to the Wolfman, but I just don't know if any razor is worth that kind of money and a year or two on a wait list--I might find one or the other acceptable if it's a phenomenal shaver, but both? It would have to come with a professional barber that did the shaving for me

 

Those are some fantastic shave set up's, Bill. If I was shaving every day, and could only use a SS Flare Tip, I'd still be a pretty happy camper--great razor. I feel much the same way about the R21 shavette as well now that I'm used to its lighter weight without the scales. That Barber's Bride, btw, looks amazing!

Great reports and pics!

 

I haven't written off a Wolfman becoming part of my collection. It's an extravagance just like every other razor I purchased after my first one. It's a blade holder that I'm sure doesn't do anything profoundly different than any of my other razors but they sure look good.

Excellent post and photo Jeff. Sorry the aluminum razor didn’t work out for you.

 

She could only fascinate (fasten 8)

 

Yes and...oh, yes.

 

Beautiful photo and shave Gary.

 

Beautiful photo and awesome report, Blair! That Supply Co was one of the SE razors that I looked long and hard at--so solid, simple and stunning.
