    Well, it was Sandalwood Saturday with Proraso Red. I'd be lying if I told you it was a good shave... It was great!

    Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
    Soap: Proraso Red
    Razor: Rockwell Razors 6S Matte Black(R6, R5, R4, and R3)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
    Blade: Tiger Platinum (4)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (No Idea)
    Brush: Omega S-Brush
    AS: Proraso Red
    ASB: Proraso Red Pre/Post Shave as ASB

    @wchnu would love this. Didn't bloom the soap. Just wet the brush, ran the tub under some hot water to wash away some of Iraq, and loaded. This part Fuzzy will hate. I took the brush to the bowl and built the superb lather pictured below. Three passes, hit the eyebrows, and killed the blade under the arms for a superb shave. The Proraso Red AS killed any germs left on the face from the water supply and the Pre-Post Shave was used as a balm. Smelling good. I wish Proraso would come out with a Red EdC/EdT.

    If you ever have the opportunity to get your hands on some of the real, discontinued Proraso Red, jump on it. It's nothing like this Proraso "Red" junk. I still can't wrap my head around Proraso discontinuing the original, replacing it with something totally different and even after all of the blowback from users, still didn't return it to market.

    I noticed @gssixgun used the original in his shave Saturday. Such a rare, holy grail of shaving creams. Always nice to see someone using it. I have one NOS boxed tube left as well as an almost empty tube. If there ever was a definition of "I use it sparingly"...

    I have a couple of "Unobtainiums" But the Red and my NOS tub of Crabtree & Evelyn Almond Oil Shave Cream are soooooo good :p
