St. James of London SC and AS Gel - Black Pepper & Lime
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Switchback 400 w/TGN 24mm 2 band badger
J3Customs Kamisori
Nautica EdT - Latitude Longitude
Started off with an incredible bowl lather from the PAA 400 clone loaded up with a TGN 2 band. Have read some great things about the St. James of London shave creams, so I've loaded up with samples of every SC/ASG fragrance available. It definitely lived up to the reviews I read in every way, supremely awesome slick & thick voluminous fragrant yogurty face nourishing goodness. Quick to lather, loves hydration. Color me impressed. Only downside....the samples come in one time use cardboard coated packaging...and my daily images happen after I shave, so it was destroyed. Maybe I'll rearrange image timing for remaining samples. Superb 3 pass BBS shave from this beefy kami, still with lather left over, so it went on the face while I cleaned the tools. Small application of their matching after shave gel, equally nice, reminds me of SV's after shave balms. This AS gel is not alcohol based, it's a slightly cloudy/clearish liquid. Not heavy or greasy, great face feel still happening, now 8+ hours after this morning's shave. Followed with a now near unobtanium gift from wifey, Nautica Lat/Long EdT. Easily her favorite fragrance, still many years later.
Hope everyone has a great remainder of Thursday!
