Noble Otter Shave Soap and Aftershave - BarrBarr
Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic - Royal Pearl
Osiris Razors w/buckeye burl scales
Meet Odin

. Recent acquisition from a BST. Osiris Razors straight made by Alfonzo Terrones, an artisan out of Colorado. Buckeye burl wood with G10 lined scales, quarter hollow, 10/8 at it's smallest width, 11/8+ at it's widest, 127 grams.
Chubby made an excellent slick, thick and fragrant bowl lather with Noble Otter's BarrBarr SS, enough for 4-5 passes....can't stop overloading the brush! 3 full passes of fun with this beefy razor. First pass all North to South and wow, very easily a DFS with how sharp this razor came from it's previous owner. Small set down weeper on the lip edge. No biggie, barely visible with the second lather, gone by the third. Second and third passes were the opposite legs of XTG passes. Finished with BBS result. Lathered a 4th time while cleaning the brush, bowl and razor, and after a rinse, a hefty dose of the matching AS. BarrBarr is a barbershop fragrance (if that wasn't obvious from it's name). Not quite as prominent & sweet as most barbershop artisan cloned fragrances. If you have ever experienced Stirling's Barbershop....Noble Otter's version is a slightly subdued 1/2 sibling in aroma.
Side note....never assume your significant other isn't paying attention to your addiction. As wifey was headed to work (which since March 13th is now just another room in the house)....she said, 'Now, that's a knife'.


Hope everyone has a Terrific Tuesday.
