Asylum Shave Works SS & AS - Old Virginia
Jason's 2019 30dc LE w/Omega boar
Feather AC DX (kamisori style)
Schick Proline B20 (1)
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Star Jelly
'Crazy Good Shaving Soap' is the moniker on the label....and it fits. ASW's Old Virginia shaving soap (actually made by Wet Shaving Products) lathers instantly, created oodles of bowl lather with the boar knot loaded in
@jtspartan handle. Awesome deep leather/tobacco fragrance with a slight hint of vanilla (not too sweet). Tried a new configuration today on the Feather AC DX....loaded up a B20 blade (not the usual P-30 size). 2.5 crimsonless passes to a very nice BBS- result (even dolphin smooth on the last XTG neck/jawline pass). Between the diminutive size of the Feather AC DX (scales removed) & the B20 blade, with toe at appx. -85 degrees, the ear to mid chin swipes on the neck/jawline were achieved with confidence. Love this little razor, handles like a sports car. Followed with my usual after shave balm, and a healthy overdose of the matching 'Crazy Good Aftershave'. Yet another wifey approved fragrance, it's a near perfect match to the soap.
Old Virginia...like walking into an old pipe tobacco/cigar shop with oversized leather sofas strewn around to sit and enjoy some sampling....a vanilla candle sitting somewhere close by on an old oak desk.
Hope everyone has a fantastic rest of this Wednesday!
