    Very fine shave today. The Maggard Razors Orange Menthol is an outstanding product. Orange Menthol is a clean, sweet orange smell with a moderate menthol kick. This scent is fragranced with 100% essential oils. Maggard Razors After Shaves are non-alcoholic splashes designed to refresh and sooth skin. They use a Witch Hazel base for its astringent properties, soothing aloe, and glycerin for its moisturizing effect.

    Great setup and photo Doug. Between the soap and aftershave you had a cooling shave.

    Thank you Clint. Yes it was a cooling shave for sure. It was hot up here today so the shave followed by a cold beer was outstanding. Did you know that tomorrow is Friday? :happy102:

    Friday shave:

    Off focus for the maiden shave of a new razor. Today I used a Rocnel SE-G for the first time. I always liked GEM based razors but found them to light and hated the light, skinny handles... so .... I was just too curious to not give this razor a try.

    I don't use mentholated shaving soap when I am shaving with a straight so it felt wonderful to have this arctic blast during a hot humid morning. I found the angle quickly and four passes to an epic shave. No blood, no irritation and dolphin smooth face. This is a keeper and if the next several shaves perform the same way I will have to move my other GEM based razors to new homes. I only wish this razor was more aggressive so I had a larger window for angles that still shave.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A-

    Razor: Rocnel SE-G (GEM)
    Brush: Rooney best
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: QCS Iced Key Lime
    AS: Alcoldao Glacial (from the fridge), Speick ASB
    Scent: Dior Eau Sauvage

    No, I'm self-employed. I almost never have a day of the week someone isn't demanding I take care of their business.

    RyX DoH!

    Much of my work happens outdoors. Day of the week is less important than,
    "Did it rain? Is it raining?
    Will it rain anytime soon?"

    I know that one. I spent three years during college doing lifeguard work, and pool maintenance in the off-season. Some weeks I just felt like I'd never dry out.
