    Guy, I don't know what I like more, the Dammy on the Timeless handle, the brush, or the bowl. All are very nice!

    Today's shave was "Perfection". I had a wonderful 2 pass shave, that left me BBS, with very minor touch-ups. Zero issues, with this well balanced razor. Sometimes it's the lesser known blades that are some of the best.

    Razor- "Perfection Warranted", by Swank H.W.Co. Warranted.
    Brush- B400 By Tom
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood.
    Aftershave- Florida Water

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20171129_095327.jpg

    Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss
    Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
    Blade: Ladas (3rd shave)
    Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
    Soap: Storybook Soapworks Coffee Spoons
    Post: B&M Leviathan EDT


    First time with Storybook Soapworks and it was excellent. Whipped up a creamy lather in the copper bowl, plenty of slickness and the lather held a nice amount of water. The scent is pretty much straight up coffee grounds but is a bit lighter than most coffee scents, this is a good thing since coffee scents can irrirate my skin. Luckily there was no burning sensation with this soap at all. Finished off with Leviathan EDT which smells wonderful and has great longevity, hours later I can still get whiffs of it. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!

    Very nice setup! That YRP is one interesting scent. I just picked up a bottle a few days ago and can't stop sniffing it.

    I want to get a better look at this razor. In fact, you need to post perhaps 2 additional pictures with better angles just so we can be sure what we're looking at.

    I use them together with Ginger's Garden's Aventus shave soap. I also paid for a special deodorant to be made by Lucky Girl Boutique and the scent oil was provided by Chris Cullen of Catie's Bubbles (he was able to source the same scent oil used for Stirling Soap's Executive Man). The whole shave hobby is addicting and the products are irresistible many times.

    NOVember!!!

    November 29 - Warming up for DECember

    Razor - Delta Echo NEW LC
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Truefitt & Hill 1805
    Brush - 30 DC LE
    Post - Alum

    Staying with the NEW LC and Kai for the remaining two shaves of NOVember. My, my, my but it's gone by fast. I switched it up to the T&H 1805 soap and 30 DC LE brush. Lots of water as this is a thirsty soap but it's very slick and nice once you have it right. Just using a product from a company that's been in business for 212 years is a nice way to spend the shave.

    Two passes and touch ups and the baby is once again in the house. Alum was quiet and all is well. While I do like the Feathers I have always preferred Kai just a tad due to their smoothness and lack of harshness. A nice go to when you want a different Japanese blade. I find the same thing with AC blades. Feather Pros are sharper by a hair, but also a bit more likely to leave a reminder you were there than the Kai Captain Originals. Either way, DE or AC, you can't go wrong with either.

    One more night and it's on to Decadent December!! That thread will be available soon for you early birds out there.
