    Sunday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Baker Street
    Soap: RazoRock Saturnia (a new formula)
    Razor: Gillette NEW Long Comb
    Blade: Vintage Gillette “Spoiler” Super Stainless (Shave #4)
    Brush: Elite Razor Amboyna Burl Manchurian White-24mmx50mm
    Aftershave: Bentley Intense EdT

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    RazoRock Saturnia today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I moved the Vintage Gillette “Spoiler” SS to the Gillette NEW Long Comb. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Bentley Intense EdT.

    End cap fell off Red Tip. Time for some Super Glue.

    Asylum English Collection Bay Rum~~Thäter Boar (8)~~1940 Milord Tech~~Gillette SS (3)~~Clubman VIBR
    The Asylum and Clubman are two of the MOST NON-Bay Rum scents I have ever experienced. Ever.
    The Asylum smells like (and dollars to donuts---manufactured by...) D.R. Harris SANDALWOOD! I know, I had some and sold it.
    Exactly the same consistency as Arlington Cream. Good performer, but I wasted my money expecting Bay Rum. :angry019:
    The Clubman...well, let's just say that Dominica doesn't have to worry about any competition here. :rolleyes005:
    Definitely MUST decant this into a glass bottle...
    Have a great Sunday!​

    Solid Sunday
    My wife said this scent reminds her of rose milk, a skin care product her grandmother used. It's not the first time I've used 1803, but it's the first comment I've heard. I'll still use it sometimes. I noticed a big difference between the 6s and the Vision - the former is much smoother, but the latter shaves much closer. I'm not sure which I favor yet.

    Rating: 4.5 / 5

    Razor: Rockwell 6s
    Blade: Personna Platinum
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer
    Lather: Dr. Jon's 1803
    Aftershave: Dr. Jon's 1803

    Early MMOC/PTFE with shim. Soap is actually one of mine from last year which is pretty damn good. One ATG pass + cleanup (headshave), two for beard. I could live happily with the MMOC as my only SE.

    Super bowl shave
    I'm a bit late to the pump party, but my submission is today's razor.
    Hoffritz pure badger brush
    Stirling Blu
    Dovo #98 Pearlex 5/8 full hollow round end
    Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren
    Long slow 3 pass shave, completely relaxed, best foot forward. I'm happy with the result. A little close just under my chin, but my troublesome neck area is nice'smooth.
    My Pearlex may be ostentatious, but I love it. And with shaves like this one, one could say it's a workin' pimp.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20180204_130004_resized.jpg

    I’ve been refreshing a lot of blades to get to know my yellow/green Thuri better. Today I broke out three razors for comparison. Naturally, I then had to shave with all three to get the feedback on how they turned out. I knew my Old Lady wedge wasn’t going to have the same edge as a more modern blade but she did well. The Korn and the Wosty were both great but I think I prefer the smoother Wosty over the slightly sharper Korn. Nice to have such choices to make. :happy036:
