J3Customs Kamisori 'Corrosive'
Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic
Zingari Man ASB
Awesome shave this morning...old faithful shaving bowl, a Symmetrical Pottery creation used for nearly every shave when beating a soap into submission.
@clint64 's © 'Soap Destroyer' moniker for Simpson's Chubby 2 synthetic is straight on. Hard not to make an incredible lather with it, and combined with WSP's Mahogany Formula T, the slick & creamy goodness was abundant and aromatic. This synthetic knot is slightly stiff for my tastes though, works better for me painting on it's lather created in a bowl, instead of using for a full on face lather.
Been working with Derek at J3Customs on a long term project....here's the latest addition, an 8/8 kamisori he labels as 'Corrosive'. Derek's work is extremely meticulous and detailed. Blade is ground as a quarter hollow out of 01 Tool Steel. Handle is very beefy and square, but artfully wrapped with blue/black leather cord, bamboo accents woven in. Hand ground serrations make for confident holding and maneuvering. No stropping or honing on it's inaugural use, shaved incredible straight out of the packaging. The slightly rounded spike toe so much fun, easily gets into the nose contours/shadows. 2.5 passes, BBS- results, no shenanigans at all.
Rounded out the long self indulgent shave this morning with ZM's after shave balm followed with WSP's aftershave tonic splash, Mahogany. It's simply divine....find myself considering Lee's EdP solid cologne in this fragrance.
Hope everyone has a Magnificent Monday!
