Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements PS - Tube 2.0
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements SS/AS - Doppelgänger F-Bombs (Homage - Tom Ford's Fabulous)
Heritage Collection C-MON 77-4 w/Zenith Boar
Hoshi Tombo 8000 Kamisori
3 pass DFS+. PAA's Tube 2.0...hadn't mentioned much about....it's a charcoal based preshave, in an oversized black tube (think hulk size lip balm). Very dense, almost seems milled, should last a long time. Goes on the growth dark grey. Used the Heritage Collections w/boar to scrub in, and it creates a thin lather that's
very slick. Warm rinse of face and brush...onto a second great lather with PAA's CK6 formula. Hoshi Tombo went through the new progression of pasted strops then linen/leather. Scary sharp this morning, felt like a new Feather blade in my Artist Club DX handle! Fun blade to shave with, great feel in the hand while maneuvering. Had a couple of set down weepers, but no distraction from a great Wednesday shave. Finished with PAA's matching aftershave/cologne, a copy blend, hence the Doppelgänger designation. This fragrance of PAA is a little subdued, a departure from their normal style.....even after dry down, this aroma lasts for hours and hours. It is Top 5 Wifey Approved.
Looking forward to the next few days....been precipitating off and on since early Monday. Cold, wet....can't wait for cold and DRY.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!
