Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Switchback 400 w/Omega EVO
J3Customs 8/8 Takefu Laminated, Japanese Steel
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Star Jelly
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla AS
On a tear this morning, using some neglected oldies in the back of the shave cabinet...PAA's John Frum CK6 and the EVO knot, awesome face lather slinging fun. I prefer a slightly wetter lather for open edge shaving, so the knot was a bit drippy going into the oversized PAA container. Still slick with nice volume, but had to laugh as it was a flyin'. Short bit of time on a linen strop for the J3Customs 8/8 quarter hollow shave hatchet, super smooth whisker mowing this morning. The hefty blade shows to be ~9 layers of steel, laminated to help define the effect. It's quite possibly one of my smoothest shaving straights, easily maneuverable despite it's size. Two and a half passes, 2 small weepers, both appear to be skin bumps (slight ingrowns that won't go away). Quick slather of PAA's Star Jelly followed by a palmful of PC's Classic Vanilla AS (wifey approved for daytime use, a vanilla barbershop aroma), and I'm ready for a busy Thursday.
Hope everyone has a Great Day!
