    Fantastic lineup and photo, Joseph!
    What you describe as the "prickly" feel is exactly what I would describe. As I test for that on the final lower neck pass, if it is detected, I do another WTG/XTG pass instead.

    Sunday's Shave

    Same travel setup as yesterday and the same great results.
    Although I limited myself to 2 passes, I think there was enough lather in the brush for 6-7.

    Cella PSG, SC, ASB, ASL - Almond
    J3Customs 8/8
    Shavemac Disco

    A much neglected software setup today...Cella Almond. Imagine opening a fresh jar of maraschino cherries, and that's spot on for this fragrance. These colors matched so much better in my minds eye....not so much on camera. Oh well, went with it anyway. Light application of the pre shave gel....then an awesome slick lather with Cella's Almond shave cream (which is actually denser consistency than most shave soaps/croaps nowadays). Forgot to include the 24mm Shavemac 2 band badger disco brush in the family photo....it performed very nicely, excellent size and just enough backbone for a great face massage. Fun mix of bowl, face and paint lathering. Today's razor is a Japanese steel J3Customs recently acquired, half bare steel, half laminated. Unfortunately a little off on it's edge for the second shave, even after a round on the CrOX linen then leather strop (maybe I goofed something...). Will put this guy in the small group for a round of the pasted mounted strops routine. Ended up using the 10/8 J3Customs razor I used Fri & yesterday for the 2nd and 3rd passes, it's scaringly sharp, and finished out those 2 passes with no crimson rearing it's head. Very nice DFS+ today. A little of Cella's matching ASB, which is a very thin super slick tan cream. Hefty dose of the matching Cella after shave lotion....wonderful wifey approved aroma, a light almond cherry (sweet) fragrance. Near zero sillage, stays close to skin for 3-4 hours though.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

    Super shave as always, Joe The F.W. Engel Special is a very pretty razor. If it shaves half as good as it looks, you've got a winner! I hope your weekend is restful!

    A beautiful set up, Joseph. I'm following your razor shakedown with great interest. It looks to be expertly crafted, for sure.

    I'm good with all the notes in the Midnight Stag except gasoline. It may play well with the other notes, but it doesn't sound appealing.
