Good morning!

Fantastic first shave with the Muramasa! I decided to start at the lowest setting. Little to no blade feel but enough audible feedback to maintain the small yet effective cutting angle. I did my usual three passes and found one little patch of sandpaper along my right jawline that required a light touch up. The alum had absolutely nothing to report.

Fantastic photo and shave Jim. I see you got the Muramasa. I used mine this morning as well. I absolutely love mine.

 

I figured PAA would catch on t0 the "awesomesauce" craze.

 

Is that Irish Spring soap bar good for a deodorant soap still??

 

Thanks, Clint!
I bit on the sale. Ordered it Wednesday evening and had it in hand yesterday afternoon. Quick trip from Portugal. I'm looking forward to getting to know each of the settings.

They have the quickest shipping. I really like the presentation of the razor in the packaging. All the settings work well for me but I keep coming back to 3 or 4.

Breaking in this little fingerling of a brush I picked up for kicks. Perfect finger grips and a wonderful knot. It put together a luxurious face lather with the Dragon’s Blood soap. Yes this soap scent is the incense, just great stuff. The phenomenally sharp Filarmonica transformed 3 days of graying wire stubble into a perfect sheet of smooth glass.
The post shave with this soap goes on for miles.
Remarkable Shave
Have a great Sunday kids.

Have a great day!

 

I wash my hands these days with Creed Adventus soap...kinda, that is. Doc Ezlovan flipped in a free Xecutive Man hand soap with my last order.

 

How's the Monarch?

 

I like it a lot, Paul. We're having spring like weather and this really suits the day.
