Affordable and the more I use it, the better I like it. Second most compliments fragrance for me. Rive gauche the clear winner on that front [fine American blend]

On my short list to pick up, just ordered Penhaligon's Satorial Edt so working through my list, it'd go quicker if I'd stop buying brushes from John @ GB.

SHAVE OF THE DAY

Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Orange
Blade: Pol- Silver
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
Soap: Wet The Face- Autumn
Post: Ogallala Lime & Peppercorn A/S


Had a very nice late night shave a few hours ago. Have had WTF Autumn in the queue for a while now and today was its day. @smoothsteve was kind enough to send me a sample and the scent is right up my alley (thanks again brother!). Really like the unique Apple spicy scent of this soap and mixed with the performance of WTF soaps makes this one a winner in my book. Soap lathered with no issues in the copper bowl and the lather provided plenty of protection. Face feels great and moisturized, hope y'all had a swell shave as well!

 

very nice sir..

 

MAYhem!!! 2019

May 7

Razor - Wunderbar Slant
Blade - (3
Soap - Stirling Island Man
Brush - 30DC LE
Post - Alum

End of regulation. Blues and Stars tied 1-1. These guys can't find an easy way to win but there's still hope. Anyway, I did get my shave in. One last run with the Wunderbar and Voskhod. I tried out the Stirling Island Man. Have to say I like it! Lots of different scents involved but they equal a very nice scent and, of course, the standard exceptional Stirling lather. The LE brush did a perfect job with the lather. Speaking of LE brushes - the meet up brushes are ready to go. In fact, they are stored safely at Cartel HQ for those who attend the meet up and are interested. Any left over from the meet up will be available to the rest of the members of the 30DC. We'll deal with that when the time arrives. I will say this......the Meet up brush is STUNNING!!@jtspartan did himself proud on this one!

As for the finish of my shave - well - you know how it shouldn't be a MAYhem setup really? I managed to find some anyway. On my reverse slide on the right side of the neck I apparently found the maximum angle you can go with that. Too much angle on the slide topped with too much pressure on the razor and I got one heck of a scrape across my neck. A bloody scrape that nearly put me through the ceiling when I went over it with alum. Lesson learned. At least for now.

Well, still end of regulation and still 1-1. At least it isn't raining. Have a great night!
