Have a great weekend all!​

That's a beautiful Tech, replate?

Thanks, but not a replate. A few hours with Mother's Mag Polish worked wonders.

So I can't look back for too long

Todays shave was with a newly acquired and honed razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. The Japanese Stones I am now using are doing a great job.

***EDIT - The shave came out fantastic. Best shave with this bakelite razor so far. 1-pass + extensive clean up. I started this off against the grain on the 1st pass in every direction of my growth in systematic order. Then I applied another helping of the excellent soap and used my off-hand to feel for grain and mopped up carefully. I got a great shave and minimized irritation. I didn't have to try hard at all. The pre-shave oil really works in union with the now unavailable Country Club for Men vegan soap formula. I really love this shave. Like all my other sets I bought backup splashes and soaps to last many years of rotational use. The citrus and black pepper is an amazing scent profile. The post-shave balm is my bulk Advanced Clinicals face cream. A 10/10 shave. BBS and no irritation at all. One of the best shaves in a while. Very comfortable. Very close.

I have toyed around with the idea of using the black Treet Carbon Steel blade since it shaves very similarly to the BiC Chrome-Platinum. I think the look of a black blade in this razor will be more badass. But I will monitor performance because the BiC CP blade does an EXCELLENT job in this razor. Shaving performance is more important than looks.......by just a little bit.

Yes Sir, Always A Great Shave!

Today
Hot water wash after shower
plisson synthetic
(Bombed) Stirling Island Man
Matador closed comb/ maggard mr5 handle
Persona lab(3)
Pinaud lime SEC
I've now got a goatee, so my shave consist of the easier areas. I did the passes omitting the goatee area, smooth as silk there, a bit itchy on my chin. The matador closed is pretty aggressive, the mr5 tames it some. I bombed the island man, which reminded me of cool coconut and lime. I finished with the SEC. Nice half shave.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

Great post and congrats

Polo by Ralph Lauren (Cosmair)

​

Much like Phoenix Shaving's "Han Polo", Ariana & Evans' "The Equestrian" aspires to pay homage if not duplicate the original 1970s Ralph Lauren Polo which was a Warner distributed product until the mid 1980s. Again, like Han Polo, The Equestrian does a remarkable job complementing Cosmair RL Polo, but it doesn't quite duplicate it. It may very well come closer to the earlier Warner distribution, but I don't recall much of a difference between Cosmair and Warner in the early years, but admittedly, it's been quite some time since I had a Warner bottle. That said, to my nose, modern RL Polo barely resembles the '70s to early '90s Polo. For clarity, The Equestrian is a clean green vegetation blast followed by a damp and respectable herbal accord with a leathery tobacco dry down. All things considered, it's much closer to the classic Polo than the modern iteration, but it is a bit brasher and spicier. The differences become less apparent during the dry down. When I compare PAA's Han Polo splash to that of The Equestrian, I detect no appreciable difference apart from the brief color of the splash ingredients that's more so in The Equestrian.

I've previously spoken of my impressions of Ariana & Evan's tallow base ad nauseam. Every aspect of this soap is near perfect, and as such this is among the best soaps money can buy.
