  5. All good. The scent is not strong, about average. The fragrance is as described. This is the first Sterling soap I ever used and was very pleased with the loading, lathering, slickness and cushion. It took longer than most to load but it was worth the slight bit more effort. I recommend it for those looking for something holiday related. I will use it again tomorrow morning!
  6. Beautiful photo and great use of color. Like your brush. Very nice.
  7. Nice razor

  8. Decadent December!!

    December 7


    Razor - Master Barber Magic Shavette
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Proraso White
    Brush - Semogue 620
    Post - Alum, Nivea

    Had to go the third shave with the Magic Shavette and Derby tonight. Hey, I usually use DE blades three shaves...this is just a DE split in two and packaged extra pretty and called professional so there ya go! Went with the Proraso White as I try to figure out if I like it or not (maybe not decadent enough?) and the Semogue which I am pretty sure could lather an old bar of Lava!

    I've been going two passes with the shavette as it really seems to need only that. At least for a good DFS. After last night's slightly bloody mistake I was taking it slower tonight and got through both passes blood free. I really do like using this thing and it gives me the chance to practice a straight razor hold without stropping. Yep, still whining about that. I have another straight I haven't used yet since it needs honed. I think my xmas present to myself will be to send it off for honing and that will give me an incentive to work on stropping more. But, I digress.

    I'm happy with all of the shaves I got from the Magic and can see this being a go-to razor from time to time. Definitely would be part of a rotation if I ever settle down a bit and set one up!

    Cold air is headed this way. Talking teens for tomorrow night but no snow yet. Hey @Bama Samurai I'll make a deal with you.......I'll take all the cold air you want to send this way.....you keep the snow! Or I'd volunteer to be Santa on the islands. Now THERE'S a sweet gig!

  11. SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20161207_235616.jpg


    Prep: Occams crushed lime
    Razor: Gillette ball end tech
    Blade: Voskhod
    Brush: RazoRock plissoft
    Soap: Wholly Kaw Lav Sublime Concerto tallow
    Post: Stephans Island Lime A/S iced



    Just had a nice 2 pass midnight shave, got a wonderful lather from the WK soap plus it has a nice soothing lime scent that paired nicly with the pre shave soap and the Island Lime A/S. The blade has some miles on it and probably should have been changed but still ended up with a BBS shave anyways. The nice menthol blast from the iced Stephans was the perfect finish for a nice shave. Hope everyone had a similar experience.

    Stirling coniferous soap, Proyet Badger two band brush, Proyet setter, Backal Guadalajara razor 7/8, añeja vetiver after shave, Vetiver de Guerlain eau de toilette.
    Prior to the working night, well shaved head and beard outlined. Of the soaps I have this is the most intense fragancy, I always feel like in forest, good performance, the brush with that knot fan a caress to the skin, the singing razor and excellent match the Vetiver, full. Salute friends.

  18. Test Depth Thursday
    Another excellent shave with Reef Point. After three days of doing it, I'm sticking with the pattern of one ATG pass on my neck and a little touch up. Since stumbling upon this trick, I haven't had any irritation on my neck at all. I'll keep doing three passes on my cheeks, which seem almost impervious to razor burn. I really enjoy this splash and balm combo, it leaves a nice scent and smooth skin.
    Prep: Myrsol Emulsion
    Soap: Reef Point Test Depth
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
    Razor: Merkur Futur on six
    Blade: voskhod and out
    AS: Reef Point Test Depth Splash, Reef Point Test Depth Balm
    EdT: Spicebomb Fresh

    I truly enjoy using this brush. The weight of the brass handle combined with the excellent backbone and flow through of the Druida knot make this brush a lather making machine. The Rossa provided a wonderful slick base with a great scent making the shave all the more enjoyable. A 2 pass, XTG & ATG, followed by minimal touch ups ended in near BBS. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.
