    Good afternoon.

    Tradituonal Straight Razor Shave # 499
    13/8 ArtRazor 1000 (34)
    MrEE Tuxedo Brush
    TSD Irish Spring SS and AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Modessa Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 24 hrs

    As I mentioned yesterday, I brought out Artie to do today's shave. I picked the TSD Irish Spring SS because I am going to a fragrance free venue this evening and the scent will have been dissipated by the time that I arrive there. Here's my lather:

    Did three error-free passes for a nice, comfortable and smooth shave. The alum feedback was negligible. Witch hazel and the matching aftershave were splashed on my face and neck to end this shave. I have to say the scent smells a little like Downey Fabric softener. It's in the same ballpark as Stirling Glastonbury, but much more subdued. Take care.

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Drew Dick 7/8” Half Hollow Damascus
    Brush: Jack Skully
    Lather: Ach. Brito Mogno (In Mug)
    Aftershave: Derby City Chop Shop Small Batch Tonic- Winter Reserve
    Additional Care:
    Omega Alum
    Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

    First shave with the Ach. Brito Mogno. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the lathering ability and performance of this soap. Yes, Barry, @palmolive fox, has frequently mentioned this soap with high praises I. His post.

    I grated the bar of soap and pressed it into the mug. Usually, with soaps in the mug, I dampen a brush and load directly on the brush. Today, I decided to scape an almond size scoop of soap and press it into a bowl. Within a couple of minutes, with a few additions of drops of water, I had a nice lather.

    A three pass shave with the Damascus straight had my face smmmothand irritation free. Unfortunately, three ten minute delay weepers made the appearance. Not a big deal, easily taken care of with a little extra aftershave.

    Hope you all had an enjoyable day.
