Today I have no picture. My tooth is sore and I'm grumpy so I went with trusted favourites all around. Nice close shave, comfortable, no weepers. It's all good. Time to go donate a tooth. RazoRock Protege razor Semogue 1305 brush Stirling soap Gillette Silver Blue blade TSD aftershave
Thanks gents. I believe I have 4 Jabonman soaps but really only reach for this one and Brisa De Oriente are the only two that I reach for. Great soaps and do not get enough love out there.

SHAVE OF THE DAY Prep: MLSW Sandalwood pre shave butter Razor: Gillette Slim (8) Blade: Gillette Black (1st shave) Brush: Maggard 26mm synthetic Soap: Catie's Bubbles Connecticut Shade Aftershave: WSP Tobacco Balm: HEV Cognac & Cuban Cigars Have been waiting for Tuesday to come so I could try this soap. The scent is a dark Tobacco scent, description is tobacco, vanilla, oak, and nutmeg. The mix of oak and nutmeg gives it a earthy note unlike any other CB scent. I was glad to see there was no skin irritation at all from this scent and it is just a awesome Tobacco scent, similar to BW Captains Pipe, but a bit more dark and earthy. Got a BBS shave with just a small nick on the neck. Hope everyone had a great shave!
Jabonman is starting to get a lot of play, though. It is popping up in more and more conversations, appearing in a lot of SOTD and social media mentions, and it is coming up in a lot of shavers top 5 soaps. There has been a LOT of buzz about it lately.
I don't know of anyone this side of the pond who carries Jabonman but I think that would help tremendously. It has been in my top five for little over 2 years now.
Wednesday's Dove Men Face Wash Speick Shaving Cream Jayaruh #119 synthetic OT w/ Maggard fatty handle Voskhod CWR, Asma Alum Block T.N. Dickinson's WH Speick After Shave The Speick Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #119 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette OT razor w/ Maggard fatty handle razor with a Voskhod blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Speick After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Wednesday's Planned Shave prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash((Ultimate Clean)-in shower shave-Rise Super Foam regular razor-Gillette Sensor 2 Pivot + DisposeABLE A.S.-Clubman Original With the expected arrival of my Clubman Shave Soap(one of Pinaud's new products), I figure to be juggling different combinations from now throughout the winter and early spring. One combo appears certain for now-since the Shave Soap has more of a Vanilla scent, I'll be using the Stirling Barbershop A.S. and bath soap to complement it(as they both are more like the Clubman Vanilla aftershave). . Other than that, it's "open season"(especially since I hope to make other purchases before the year is out). But, as sports GM's like to say, "this is a fun problem to have".
