Thanks buddy! Have a great day!

 

That's hella cool shave gear. Wow

 

This is a different vendor but highly similar scent to what I'm wearing today. I very nearly bought Tuscan Oud to pair with my Creed Royal Oud shave set. I was torn on which products to go with. I am glad though that I picked Catie's Bubbles La Piment de La Vie cream-style soap because it's really amazing stuff and unless Chris Cullen ever decides to make another batch of it you cannot buy the cream-soap right now, only his fairly-new French soap formula. For whatever reason, he said his cream (croap) formula didn't sell well and it takes too much time and expense to make, so he said he barely makes it anymore. I find that a huge shame because that cream soap is the BEST shave soap I own hands down and the scent is just amazing and lasts for hours on my face/breard hair after the shave is done. Just the best soap ever. I'm sure Tuscan Oud is not slouch though.

So many competing products and I cannot justify owning identical scents on identical products. I ended up using Razorock soap for my Terre d'Hermes shave kit and that is a quality soap.

 

Nice, you've got some collection, bravo.

Saturday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 6
Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic S/S
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Fine Snake Bite A/S Splash
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

How's that for a freeze!

I sure hope that this Glacial MITA soap makes a comeback because it's so awesome!

 

Gillette Black Beauty (R3) Razor
Rapira Super Stainless Blade
My DIY Boar/Flashlight Handle Brush
WSP Fougere Noir Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Gillette Sensitive Skin After Shave Gel

Two passes with very little touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave. A very good after shave for when my face gets a bit irritated from the heat.

 

That's a nice looking handle! The center section appears rubberized for good grip. Is it stock for the razor?

 

It does have a hard rubber feel. I bought it on Amazon for about $23. It's become my "go to" razor

 

They're nice blades, coated, smooth & sharp. Very similar to the Rapira...........
