The den is graced this week with the @twhite Igor adjustable SE. It's an ingeniously simple and effective design, no pins to lose, no incantations required to load and solidly secure a blade. I took my time with Igor on its more aggressive setting, occasionally losing the angle which I attribute mostly to having been away from SEs and their ways for a while. Three passes to a beautiful BBS shave, no irritation. I think with a little practice I'll get that down to two. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
RAZOR: Matador Toro Mastiff Largo - gold; this is an EXCELLENT DE razor. Geometry is aggressive, you can really feel the blade - efficient. BLADE: Dorco ST300 - a decent blade. I prefer less aggressive blades in more aggressive razors. These blades hold their edge for many shaves. BRUSH: Ever Ready 200T - bought this one new back in my youth. Good boar brush- a little too much loft for me but builds a respectable lather. MUG: Repurposed generic coffee/soup mug. Has a nice wide mouth. SOAP: Hybrid Col. Conk BAY RUM / VDH Luxury soap. I drizzled some VIBR into the melted Colonel, and plopped in a puck of VDH. PRESHAVE: Bloom water followed by generous application of the Coastal Design White Birch & Tobacco Shave butter AFTERSHAVE: Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum- as refreshing as an island breeze BALM: NOPE Achieved a truly superior 2 pass BBS (with minor touch up). This razor is a real gem. I have been going through this BAY RUM hybrid soap at a rapid pace this summer. Sorry to say it is almost gone. Works great. Have a great week everyone.

Schick G4 razor Personna blade JR #86 brush Stirling Margarita's in the Artic SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe M&L Florida Water cologne w/added menthol Fantastic Monday shave! This is a great combo and my face liked it a lot. Only thing I'd change is to make the scent of the Florida Water last longer. Now go enjoy your day folks.
SOTD Stirling SEptember Schick Injector G4 "Schick 66" Personna Mini Hair Shaper Stirling Margaritas In The Arctic Satin Tip the Purest Myrsol Lemon A very smooth shave out of the Schick 66. The Stirling MITA produced a very nice lather that was super cold but I felt the scent was a bit overpowered by the menthol. The Satin Tip was my first synthetic brushes and still one my my favorites. Maybe its just because it has the most user and I really know how to dial the lather in with it, but it never fails to produce lather that is the perfect consistency. Have a great day friends!
Tuesday morning: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra day 2 OSP Grapefruit Menthol SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Alt Innsbruck AS Splash You know what, the OSP Grapefruit Menthol from England is one hell of a good artisan soap. James Riley knows what he's doing and although this is only the second artisan product from the UK I've tried I really enjoy it. It has more of an orange than a grapefruit scent, it lathers like a demon, and its cooling effect is at around the regular MITA level. Skincare-wise, I'd give it about 8/10 so it's definitely pretty damned good. I LOVE the Alt Innsbruck aftershave because it has a classy scent and it's VERY mentholated!
