Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements SS, ASB, AS & C - Atmotic
Simpson Chubby 2
Hoshi Tombo 8000
Super fun late morning shave, makes up for the drudgery of a 5:30am trip to the TX Driver's License office for one of the kiddos. It was good time spent together, but what a circus to get a 'walk in' appointment. Online appointments are 2 months out currently. At least we were early in line, several ahead of us got immediately turned away for wrong documentation, so we were able to get in for a 7:45am appointment. Many (like 80-100) behind us just told to come back again tomorrow.
Anyways....awesome lather from the Simpson synthetic. PAA's CK6 formulation is OMG slick, with a wonderful face feel during and after the shave (even before applying the PAA after shave balm). 2.5 passes with the HT 8000, super sharp and smooth from a stropping session immediately before using today. In hand, this razor maneuvers nearly identical to my Feather AC DX that I've removed the scales. Easy to change grips, shaving stroke angles (WTG, XTG, Etc.) due to it's small size. Blade angle....almost riding the quarter ground blade face most of the time as the design is very narrow (barely 5/8ths). No crimson issues, BBS results. Followed the shave with PAA's Star Jelly ASB, and then the matching Atmotic After Shave & Cologne.
Atmotic's aroma....simply a favorite of mine, wifey approved also.
Scent profile (from website):
Atmotic quite cleverly evokes the spirit of travel; Aged Oak, Dogwood, Patchouli and Ginger! Rich, Bold, Well-Traveled and Cultured.
Hope everyone has a Wonderful Wednesday!
