    Canadian New Deluxe w PermaSharp
    APShave Flattop/Sapele
    Mike's Orange, Cedar & Pepper
    Thayers
    Chatillon Lux Bon Vivant

    A very nice shave this morning. Pulled out the New Deluxe for no reason in particular. The PermaSharp was already loaded and seemed to still have life in it. As a few others have pointed out, the Mikes is a fine, rich lather. This scent isn't perhaps as straightforward as a few others of his and isn't 'wow' inducing from me. It falls within the 'unique and pleasant' range pour moi.
    3 passes later I was very smooth. This New Deluxe isn't the smoothest feeling shaver in the den, but it sure does the job efficiently. JoeC inspired me to bring out the Bon Vivant to match. A great choice.
    Have a great day all!

    Howdy everyone.

    The doughnut continues to grow and one of these days, I am going to post a picture,
    that only the very few have ever witnessed.
    I will say that MdC is very slick and protective. The fougère is one of my favorites.
    My second favorite is Valobra, which is a better soap base by far, and the scents,
    while fairly different, both are respectable fougères.
    MdC is to Penhaligon's as Valobra is to Fabergé Brut.
    Second, and final use of the Gillette Silver Blue. These are "ok" blades, really nothing to seek out.
    Inserted in the 1947 Super-Speed, at least one is guaranteed of a secure blade sans chatter.
    I performed the ritualistic 3-Pass shave and I am darn close to a full BBS.

    Many reviewers compare this perfume to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather.
    Having never smelled that, I will just have to take them at their word.
    The raspberry opening is refreshing and as it dries down, the leather/wood dominates.

    Good morning!

    Fantastic shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Silent alum.

    The wife and I will be getting our COVID-19 vaccinations this afternoon. Her employer is offering the shots to their employees and immediate family. It'll be nice to get that out of the way.

    Have a great day!

    Very good shave this morning with the Bay Rum combo of Jeeves soap and Stephan A.S. About a minute total in loading the Jayaruh(59). 2 passes. Two knicks did show up during the first. Clearly a bit too much pressure in those areas. One was at the SW side of North Porcupine, the other at the SE side of South Porcupine. Again a slow, careful drag up the left side of North Porcupine(where the first Knick was). Nice work down at Cactus Nation(neck). It;s strange how it's easy to shave the left side, but not so the right(where the ingrown hairs are).. Cheeks and sideburns are angel-soft. Most Excellent.

    Your FOTD descriptions definitely increase my knowledge base, Joseph. I had never heard of Davana in the scent notes...looked it up. Interesting. Found this:

    Aromatherapy

    Davana has a wide variety of constituents that provide multiple benefits when being diffused. For instance, it can help with depression, clean the air, and keep insects away all at once!

    Perfume

    If you enjoy making your own perfume, try adding davana to your next recipe. Experiment with a fragrance that could be used on both men and women and see how different it smells on each person.

    Davana has a unique chemical makeup that provides many varied benefits.

    Enhances Sexual Vigor

    Being an aphrodisiac is one of the ways that davana sets itself apart from other essential oils. You can add it to your bedroom diffuser blend or use it in a sensual massage oil


    Perhaps the only time that insect repellant and aphrodisiac have been mentioned in the same description...although there are a few Canadian girls out there that may be attracted to Muskol...:happy097:

    Happy to see that you've got that brush where you want it, Jim. I admire your adherence to your focus this month. Have you started to go a little 'noseblind' to the Astra Planeta a bit?

    Thanks, Jason. The brush has come around.
    Yes, I am getting noseblind eventhough I'm putting the balm and aftershave on thick trying to finish them off at the same time as the soap.
