Yes. Now I am struggling to figure out if I want to replace a few of my current products in the grooming set. I am thinking of replacing the Proraso Green with the PAA CK6 Royal Mayfair knockoff. So much effort went into matching up the mug to the blue, gold, silver and pink color palette from the Catie's Bubbles splash and the deodorant. The antique carnival glass mug really unified the colors. It took me nearly a month of looking through pictures of thousands of cups, mugs and bowls until I came across that mug and 'bang'. I knew it would be 'it' for the set. I never expected PAA to actually make a Royal Mayfair Doppelganger set. This is really going to cause me to think.

2020-08-08, Saturday


As an addict, I had, first, to admit I have a problem and, second, to try to de-toxicate.
But step by step, so I stayed in my flowerbeds and used the rose.
Another addiction...
It seems I have quite a few, actually.

A cream with a slightly chemical scent, but definitely nice. Also mechanically.

And I'm also trying to detox from Progress.
And Maggard is great therapy!

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- WCS Two-Tone Tall (Red & White) Extra Dense Synth. 26/56mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Declaration Grooming ~ Unconditional Surrender

I cannot believe the Nacet is still holding the edge smooth as butter with the EJ 3one6, still very comfortable smooth shave with NO!!! tugging, NO!!! irritation and NO!!! razor burn at all.

Thank you, Sergio.

Heckuva bloom on that Zenith, Sergio. Looks extra-soft. Have a great weekend.

Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
ARKO Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #1 silvertip
Classic Samurai
Astra SP
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

The ARKO Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 silvertip brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Classic Samurai razor with an Astra SP half-blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Minora day 3
Bundubeard Cederberg Citrus SS
Bull Dog Moisturizer
Booster Iced Lime AS Splash

My second time using the Cederberg Citrus soap and miraculously the lather was not only much slicker, it left such a great postshave feeling. The scent is so lovely, the ease of lathering is unbelievable, and the blade glide is terrific. The Bull Dog moisturizer works so well as a balm, and I absolutely love the Booster Iced Lime aftershave - it doesn’t have any menthol sensation but its scent is very nice and it gives a good refreshing effect. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave!

Stay healthy and safe!

It's what pushed me to buy it.
And can bloom more!
But it still retains a desirable backbone: I hate floppy knots!
I traded my Vulfix 440 as it had as much backbone as a politician!

I have the same soap, Sergio.The scent is strong from the puck and smells even better on the face. It starts to lather very quickly with large bubbles, but after diligent swirling of the brush, it settles down to a great yogurt-like consistency. It's fairly slick and protective. Best of all, at 200ml, it will last a good while in the rotation...
