Have a great night all!

 

I had one, once, which I won in a College Football Championship Predicton Pif in 2015, I think. But I traded it back to JRReyes as he had aquired a straight that matched it perfectly.
I've been wanting another ever since. They are great brushes.

 

Monday March 22nd SOTN

I was FINALLY able to secure an Occam’s Hiram at a pretty good price... Thanks @Soopar18!! (packs of blades too!)

Let’s just say it was an interesting first shave. I went with a guard blade first. I can definitely go with a more aggressive blade for the next shave, but comfortable and close nonetheless.




Happy Healthy Shaves all.

TUESDAY'S SHAVE​

Perfumed by:
Vida Perez-Velazquez


Razor - Rex Supply Co. "Ambassador" Adjustable Stainless Steel with matching stand
Blade - Astra Superior Platinum *5th Shave
Shave Brush - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Solar Flare"
Shaving Cream - West Coast Shaving "Oriental"
Aftershave - West Coast Shaving "Oriental"
Fragrance - West Coast Shaving "Oriental" Eau de Parfum

Wow. The Rex Ambassador and the Solar Flare lather brush on back-to-back days. Extraordinary! I pre-arranged the scents, but wasn't thinking about the gear. Well I guess I will leave out the Q-Shave scuttle for this shave too. This scent from WCS is underrated IMO. It's very nice and has some development like a legitimate fragrance from a high-end perfumer.

 

That's a cool DE razor. The straight ain't bad either.
