SoS: May 2020

Thanks Gary

 

• Wilkinson Sticky
• Feather
• 1/2 Barbasol, 1/2 vintage Rapid Shave

2 pass DFS+. Looks like the secret to getting the most out of a Sticky is the sharpest possible blade. Now that the Feather is broken in, it wasn't bad. Still not as efficient as many other razors, but decent enough.

a/s - Lucky Tiger tonic

 

Is that bowl in ceramic?

 

Thank you, amigo....

 

Was the tube pressed properly?

Grazie!

Friday Mixup.

Brush: Jefferson the Fae B9B
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat Jr.
Blade: Gillette Platinum (4)
Lather: B&M Adagio
Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps Field Day
Frag: Armaf CDNIM

Sunny, warm day here so I'm going with some citrus grass mixup. I enjoy the sweet grass smell from Field day and figured out I would mix it up with the lime-forward scent of Adagio. CDNIM is pretty much an Aventus dupe, which I'm not always keen on but I'm feeling the fresh, light scent these days.

 

Love this Scent
I finally replaced my last Lavanille set from the first run in the white tubs with the new formulae. Superb shave! I like to squeeze the last of the lather to the top of the brush and paint it on for my last pass.

That's a hand soap bowl. Ceramic, yes, not for lather.
