06/11/19 Shave of the Day – My Son Nathaniel’s Graduation from High School!
Face Wash with Henri et Victoria Rasage Traditionnel Cognac and Cuban Cigars 2 in 1 Beard & Body Wash
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements High Jump 47 Conditioning Shampoo Puck (W/ Yucca Root & Cider Vinegar)
The Club Black Birch Stout Premium Shave Soap Made with Guinness Beer
Wolf Whiskers RCE# 47 Custom Fluted DWW-3 25mm Black Wolf 3rd batch Synthetic hybrid/fan knot
Creative Flame Pottery Stoneware Shaving Scuttle
Raw Shaving RS-18 Clear Cut Definitive Edition Razor Model “A” 0.65mm Blade Gap with Lubrication Strips
Bolzano Superinox Blade - 1st Shave
Shavex Alum Block
Homemade Lemon and Mandarin Infused Witch Hazel with Alum
The Club Black Birch Stout Aftershave Splash to Cleanse Your Soul
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Mentholated Mysterium Serum Advanced Fragrance & Alcohol Free Aftershave Balm
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Sangre De Drago Natural Deodorant - New Sport Strength Formula

Today is a very special day for my family. It has been a rough year but today we are celebrating my son Nathaniel’s graduation from high school and I wanted a memorable shave to start this beautiful day properly. I picked my favorite razor, the Raw RS-18 and combined it with the finest blade for my taste – Bolzano. Starting off with a face wash with the incredible scent of Cognac and Cuban Cigars from Henri et Victoria my face and senses were treated to some of the finest pleasures know to man. Just flat out amazing. Then for the first time, I broke out the Black Birch Stout Premium shave soap and aftershave splash set I recently acquired and was holding out to use for this occasion. A new soap and aftershave that had me hooked from the first sniff at the Maggard’s meet up. I never used a product from Peter but heard many good things about them. I must say the lather was thick, rich, slick and creamy – second to none. The scent was on the strong side and very pleasing. A smooth buttery, chocolate stout with the sweetness of vanilla, almost like butterscotch. There is almost a orangey spicy citrus component as well. The scent profile states made with Guinness Beer! Black Pepper, Smoke, Oakmoss, Chocolate, Cardamom, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Birch Wood & Patchouli. It definitely is a great and somewhat complex blend that works very harmoniously together. The soap left my face feeling soft and moisturized. Very hydrated for the post shave. I highly recommend picking this one up if interested. You will not be disappointed and will enjoy its performance thoroughly. After tightening my face up with alum and applying some of my homemade mandarin lemon infused witch hazel, I tried the aftershave splash. The Birch Stout did not disappoint. It had almost a fizzy feeling when applied and the scent is outstanding. I think a bit more of the vanilla sweetness and smokiness stands out in the splash. The fragrance is just spot on and sophisticated. I have been wearing it for a few hours now and it still smells great. To finish the shave I used PPA’s mentholated Mysterium Serum and this stuff is also wonderful. It rubs quickly and lightly, not greasy, into the skin, leaving a slight cooling effect. Just a great shave shave for a special day. I wish everyone the happiness and pride I feel today enjoying life and family.

This razor doesn’t get enough air time. Yes, Lucifer is prettier than the Claymore but, for a finer shave that deals a BBS every time there are only a few that I can count on one hand that match it stroke for stroke and finish. It delivers sensational results time after time. Hell of a razor. A great evening and wonderful shaves to all...

MW is the high maintenance beauty queen of soaps. Difficult, exasperating, but can be a nice performer if you baby and coax her. I am not sure she is worth it for me in the mornings when I am pressed for time. Too many great soaps that are much easier to have brush foreplay with.

Give Xerjoff a run. Great performing summer scent.

First time with this razor, and after comparing the head design with a Gillette Tech, I knew it should pretty much shave the same. And with it's heavier handle, it was real nice. Two passes with a little touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
