    Thanks, I've done all the above. Clown Puke is similar, a full tub of soap and sample soap remnants combined. All the best attributes of each tend to shine together. Just never thought of just a couple together like that. Very cool :happy088:

    Razor : Rockwell 6s Plate 5
    Blade : Wizamet (?)
    Brush: Paladin 26mm Vesuvius Chief
    Soap: Victory Shaving Co Red Tail
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Nivea Deep
    Fragrance: Scuderia Ferrari Black

    Just a pleasure to have a choice of variety and thought I'd chose this Mahogany/Coconut scented soap. Mmmmmmmm it smells great and produces a good lather. No muss no fuss shave with the 6s. I'm smooth and smelling good enough to do some things around the house today. After some coffee and White Buttermilk Cake. Take care everyone !

    Terrific Thursday shave Barry! Yes, it is fine to get good shaves with inexpensive gear.

    Feathers cost 40c per blade. 3 shaves is 13c a shave.
    Rockwell blades are 15c per blade and at 8 shaves, that's 2c a shave. Ergo, Feathers is 7x more expensive than my Rockwells. You can get cheaper blades for less then Rockwells. As far as spending on a custom, I justify it because it lasts a lifetime, the craftsmanship is impeccable, its a joy to use and it is an investment. I know you were smiling with your emoji and ribbing me Bill!

    I’ll admit that it has great lather, but the stink is just too much. Even the post shave would keep me out of the den!! :cool:

    I am curious Jeff! Did you try the stick because the smell is not strong?

    Well yesterday was the last Proraso shave day focus, unfortunately I didn't have the time to post about it. It's nice to have a break from it now even though I love it. I'm holding off on a shave till Monday, the Brut special reserve and Gillette Fat Boy should be here that morning. as far as the Tabac soap, that has not shipped yet, however I am looking forward to giving it a try and putting out a shave report on it here on the thread. I do miss making shave videos for my youtube, perhaps I'll start that back up again?
