  1. Terrific shave, Joe!
    Thanks for the heads up on Awesome Sauce. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one.
    Thanks, Clint!

  2. Great menthol shave Joe. Proraso is a classic.

  3. Thanks Jim and your welcome on letting you know about it. The history on how it came about was that Douglaz is friends with YouTuber CDB (Chris Bailey) For years, Chris has been wanting an artisan to make a Proraso Green Aftershave soap dupe. Finally, Douglas did so. The new product is in honor of Chris because the title is his catchphrase and his picture is on the label. So now you have the backstory on this new soap.

  5. Thank you, Jeff! I have not tried a twinjector blade. In fact, the only injector blade I have used is the Personna. Maybe someday I will venture out.

  6. Yup, I was just reading the back story on PAA'S website. Hopefully it's still around when I get low on Proraso.

  13. August 16th

    Razor: Rex Ambassador
    Blade: Voskhod (2)
    Brush: MrEE #10 (not counting 3D printed brushes
    SS & AS Stirling Sharp Dressed Man

    No shave yesterday and the prvious 2 days were rushed shaves with my Canadian NEW LC. Lots of stubble but a 2 pass DFS was pretty easy.

    Had to take a break from the gold becausw the RA goes so well with aluminum.

    It never disappoints, Proraso/C.O. Bigelow.
    As the label says: Refreshing and Bracing. Bingo.
    The D3 smear the gorgeous goo all over and laid down the foundation
    so the GC loaded with the Sharp Star could do their thang (sic).
    The simple pleasures are sometimes the best.
