Mail call from Oleo!!! Rex Supply Co Ambassador / Shark Super Stainless / Turn-N-Shave Chi-Town Custom / Oleo SW No. 11 Ran an untested blade at 6.5 WTG, 6.5 ATG, great two pass shave, fair bit of noise and blade feel against two days' growth from the road but great result despite blade feeling thin/soft; very comfortable with my angle control with the Rex now.
A few days of growth was wiped away, with this razor. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, that gave me a DFS. Razor- Bengalia. J.J. N.Y. Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented Brush- Wilkinson Sword, Boar Aftershave- Osage Rub.
Minus tide brings out the sea glass! All this glass was found on my beach walk this morning, and I must say, it got me in an island mood. I kept things rolling with... Soap- Moon Soaps Havana Razor- Rockwell 6S Blade- Astra Plat Brush- Moon Soaps 24mm synthetic (bamboo+orange pearl) Aftershave- Razorock Santa Maria Del Fiore I'm still in a good mood.
TUESDAY'S SHAVE Perfumed by: Erik Hodges a.k.a. Douglas Smythe Bath Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Big Shave East Rex Supply Co. "Ambassador" Adjustable Stainless Steel with matching stand Blade - *2nd Shave Shave Brush - Vigshaving Nylon Synthetic Shave Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Big Shave East Aftershave - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Big Shave East Deodorant - Native - Peach & Apricot Fragrance - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Big Shave East I really love this scent and IMO, it's way underrated. I'm using the Rex Ambassador for this shave. Although in some pictures above 'Nicked' apparently picked the Ambassador for tomorrow also. I think I will use the Chill Mill tomorrow with this set.
That Maison Margiela "At the Barber's" is a really, really good scent. Like a smoother, non-metallic Chanel "Platinum Egoiste" / more expensive smelling Calvin Klein "Eternity" type scent. A modern barbershop.
