Excellent shave with the PAL Injecto-Matic this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

Good to see you here @PLANofMAN. Are you getting knots from South Korea? The last few knots I got from TGN didn't cut it.

to TSD. Good setup and photo.

Very nice Red Tip.

Lather: Soap Commander Passion
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Mountain Man aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Everything started off great with superb lather. But I ended up with some irritation and redness on my neck, which is unusual. Could be the morning fog of tiredness perhaps. Nevertheless, I needed some balm to calm things down some. Oh well. This is a rarity for me so I won't get caught up on it.

Soap Commander is tremendous soap. Give it a try if you haven't already.

Enjoy your day!

Is that just the lid of the soap container or did they decrease the product size?

That's just the lid.

Business as usual with the Canadian Triangle Tech, another nice shave.

Good picture of fine products Perry.

Morning Roby. I see your up to you old tricks.

For the first time the Black Ice soap made my eyes tear a little, although still nothing like the Glacial Obsidian so it shows that even this soap packs a hell of a menthol punch. I enjoyed three passes with it and got a great BBS shave. The Krampert's Frostbite aftershave is also PLENTY cold and very moisturizing and soothing. No complaints - mission accomplished!

SOTD: Vintage Sheffield razor from Wade & Butcher 7/8," Martin de Candre 'Fougére' soap, Shave Works Silvertip brush, Soap Commander 'Renewal' (fourgére) mentholated balm. Large, heavy shaver with a keen, smooth edge. Only two passes but nearly-BBS results. Happy Hump Day, gents!

Razor: Portland Razor Co Chimera / Supply Provision Custom 3 dot head
Blade: Chick
Strop: Drygulch 45
Brush Handle: B-400 The Brush by Tom
Knot: APShaveCo Tuxedo
Soap: B&M Cologne Russe
Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel
Alum
Osage Rub
Aftershave: B&M Cologne Russe

Another home run from B&M, I love the scent from this soap and AS; more floral than I typically use but a clean scent with a masculine background. It was a pleasant change of pace for me. The performance is typical B&M greatness. First pass with the Supply and just one with the Chimera today and I'm left with a DFS. My first attempt with the Chimera going ATG and it worked beautifully. Zero feedback from the alum and a hearty splash of B&M and I'm ready for the day. Have a great day folks!

Great photo and spot on assessment of the Cologne Russe scent imo. I just purchased the matching soap and a second bottle of the AS, I like it so much.

Thank you, it's been about an hour since I applied and the background is coming through more. A very nice woody scent with what I can only describe as darker floral scent. Very complex scent, I love it!
