Proraso PS Red
Asylum Shave Works SS & AS - Old Virginia
Jason's 30DC 2019 LE w/Omega 10049
Puma Special '89
Couldn't connect when I tried early Sun AM, then got busy. Everything worked as expected. 2 passes w/neck touch ups to a DFS+. Zero shenanigans. Lather shot...to show off the tan color of the ASW 'Old Virginia' shave soap (the lather is actually darker than shown, the soap in the container quite dark brown). ASW's Old Virginia blend is Tobacco Vanilla w/Tonka Bean fragrance, a nice subtle aroma, slightly on the 'dark chocolate' side (from oakmoss per the ingredient list). It is a dense tobacco vanilla blend, quite pleasant, but no 'flowery/sweet' components like tobacco vanilla blends from artisans Chatillon Lux, Stirling, L'Occitane, Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements & A&E.

Proraso PS, SC & AS - Red (Sandalwood)
Ever Ready 100 w/synthetic
Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus Steel - Green Kirinite
Incredible lather and slick greatness from the Ever Ready 100 this morning. Proraso Red.....an all time favorite sandalwood blend in our household. 'Frigga' enjoyed a thorough round of pasted strops last night. 14k/50k/100k/200k, followed with CrOx and bridle leather. She's a smooth shaver again, 2 passes WTG/XTG and then some slide buffing on the right jawline/neck for a BBS all over. First pass wasn't without issue, she found a bump on the flat of my chin....showed me who's boss. Gentlemen Jon's to the rescue. Finished with matching Proraso AS Red.....smelling great & ready for another Monday!
Hope everyone has a great day!
