Sept 9th
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements SS CK-6, ASB Star Jelly, AS&C - Supreme Sandalwood Science
Jason's BRM (blue resin maple) w/TGN 28mm Silver tip
Osiris Razors w/buckeye burl scales
Nothing like a honkin' big blade, jamming tunes, awesome brush and software to get the day moving! PAA's CK6 formula, damp brush absolutely overloaded with soap, creates a very sticky mix in the container. Moved to the shave bowl, 2 teaspoons of water, and creamy thick slick bliss created for shaving. The Osiris went a few rounds of linen and leather stropping this morning right after the shower.....smooth but oh so sharp edge for 2.5 passes, BBS- results. Saw some crimson in the shaving cream on the blade, barely found a weeper on the side of the mouth (looked to be an emerging skin blemish). This blade could easily be called a lather catcher like it's century (?) old SE brethren....I can shave a whole side of my face and no lather escapes it's near half hollow shape. I usually divide the rinses with this blade into quarters face passes though. Love the square tip on this razor....so easy to get into the nose corner shadows. Only drawback....glasses. They get in the way. No biggies, can't distract from the fun of using this monster blade. Couple squirts of the slightly mentholated PAA Star Jelly, followed with the Supreme Sandalwood Science after shave & cologne. If you are a sandalwood fan...this is a great one in my opinion. Tons of Sandalwood goodness, but a balance with a hint of sweet like ToBS' Sandalwood, but not quite the nostril filling sawdust sawmill version from Wet Shaving Products.
Hope everyone has a simply awesome Hump Day!
