awesome yaqi shave Joe.

Yes, I remember when you got it a few months ago. It really is a quality piece.

oh,ok thank you so much.wasn't sure if i went into detail or not..old age..

Thanks Joe

1. Stirling Bar Rum ASL

2. Pure Oud Wood Oil: too strong to use on its own I think. Very thick, similar to car oil

Two very different things, very different scent profiles

Interesting heady mix

Lovely shave Joe

Sorry to hear about the bad start to your weekend Joe
We all hate travelling hiccups
A bit annoying I am sure

Hope you manage to recover over the weekend

Great set up Chris...I have a few Ard Al Zaafaran EDP's which I like very much. My first introduction to them was Oud 24 Hours / عود ٢٤ ساعة by Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية (Eau de Parfum) & Perfume Facts (parfumo.com)
which I've had for few years now. I use it in very small quantities..This is potent stuff! two squirts to the pulse points will last for a long time. That's the beauty of EDP's. My second Ard Al Zaafaran is Dirham Oud by Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية » Reviews & Perfume Facts (parfumo.com) another very long lasting EDP near the same in longevity as Oud 24Hours, but more sweet/spice very nice indeed out of the two, this is the one I prefer. Enjoy your Easter.

Very, very nice shave Chris.

Hi and thanks Barry

Who would have thought, an interest in shaving and now I am buying perfume!

That Dirham Oud sounds pretty cool

I would have to get that via a local website, but I have enough for now! witr com au

Might drop some hints for my 66th in a few months time!

thanks Joe, it turned out fine indeed

March 29 SOTM

Good morning.

Shavette Shave #539
Parker SRB
Suneko Amorphous Diamond 1/2 DE Blade (4)
Hembree-Maggard Timberwolf Synthetic Brush
Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 38 hrs




I didn't shave yesterday so I needed to do so this morning. I don't want to go out looking like a hobo. Lol! Anyway, I went with my other shavette loaded with the Suneko blade. The blade is very sharp. On it'd fourth use, I only needed 2 passes without touchups for an error-free BBS shave. That's impressive.
I went with Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender because it's easy to lather and the scent is awesome. As I have mentioned many times, Angora Soaps is no longer available .
Here's my lather:



The alum feedback was slight. Splashed on that glorious matching aftershave and I am ready for today. Take care.

fine easter endeavours gentlemen.

Like wise Chris, I have more than enough for now. Both of the EDP's that I have are Christmas & Birthday presents from family & friends.

Thanks Gary.

Rasage Magnifique Gary!

Today was the best mail delivery I have had for this hobby. I received my very first artisan shaving bowl. SharpShaver is the company.







I also received a nice haul from a fellow wetshaver who was given a mess load of brushes, razors and blades from another wetshaver's estate. He asked me to keep the benefactors anonymous. He was very generous to me. Some of the stuff I will piff to someone from my church who expressed interest in wetshaving. I am planning on giving him one of the safety razors, a brush and some blades. Here is what I received:

Very nice Joe. Look forward to seeing it's maiden outing.

Thanks Barry. I added more stuff to the original post. Go back and see it.

A great haul Joe... it'll be a great gesture to pass on a starting kit to your friend,it's always nice when someone takes an interest in this traditional wet shaving hobby/pastime.
