November 21, 2019 Colonial Razors Brass General Feather Pro Heritage Shaving C-MON WSP Matterhorn Witch Hazel with Menthol Myrsol Antesol Cool Water EdT A wonderful shave to start the day. The C-MON loaded and lathered the WSP Matterhorn with ease. I really like the clean crisp scent of this soap. Three passes and touch ups ended in another automatic drama free BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.
Good morning, gents! My skin hasn't really appreciated the weather much, so just one pass to avoid irritation. The AS feels like it's a bit too harsh now, so i didn't use it. Balm and moisturiser seems like the way to go. I reopened a nick, but otherwise the shave went well. Have a great day!
Wowzers again Jim! Great colors. Love the L1 Slim! Now I'm off to see what Will 'o the Wisp is all about....ya know, cause those PAA loyalty points are just burning a hole. Very nice image and setup Perry! 10 years. Awesome! Congratulations. Just so you can look forward to it....time will evaporate faster from here on out. Slow down for the special times coming next week! Very nice Clint! Love the colors/texture variety. You are making me want to look at WSP software again....
Thank you, Jim! Thank you, Blair! I appreciate the advice because that's the kind of thing I need to hear. Sometimes tunnel vision takes over.
Cool B&W again Daniel! Nice shave. Being in a little warmer area (90% of the year)....the cold/dry does the same to me with drying out when below 40 degrees. So I half and half it. Balm or moisturizer applied first (just a little), and then a smaller dose of AS (so I can enjoy the fragrance). The AS I rub hands together a bit longer, just a couple seconds, then apply.
Thanks, Perry! Thank you, Blair! I was actually doing that before My skin is quite challenging, my nose can be oily while other parts are so dry that the skin is flaking.

The Fine soap did a great job and I had enough mixed up for a three pass shave this morning….one cannot waste great soap. I am smooth and ready for the day. The aluminum bamboo handle has a different grip than what I am used to but it is a nice handle to use and very comfortable. I like it. I hope everyone has a great day! Take care.
Decent shave today! Still not sold on this razor yet. Got a great face shave, but the narrow angle of effectiveness limits it’s utility as a noggin scraper. Started on the noggin scrape, but after two nicks switched over to my faithful Vector. In any case, BBS all around!
