    June 19th
    Razor: Blackland Blackbird SB
    Blade: Lord Super Stainless (2)
    Brush: Yaqi High Mountain Silvertip
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: SC Vision
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    PAA unscented Star Jelly
    AS: SC Vision

    Good morning!

    Wildcard Wednesday randomly paired the Blackbird SB with Soap Commander Vision. Excellent shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Silent alum.

    The SB baseplate Blackbird is such a smooth razor. It provides such an easy face stroking finish.

    I was expecting a middle of the road blade from the Egyptian Lord. I found it to be sharp and smooth. Amazon has them for under eight bucks. Worthy of consideration for a bulk purchase.

    Have a great day!

    June 18 SOTD:

    Razor: Ikon X3
    Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless
    Brush: PAA The Green Ray
    Lather: PAA Future Fiction
    Aftershave: PAA Future Fiction

    I woke up a bit late this morning, but still managed a nice shave. I broke out the X3 to pair with this new soap. This is another winning scent for me. A nice blend of citrus and musk. Mix in a little ginger, amber, and just a bit of woodiness, and the whole scent really comes together. As always, the CK6 shines on the post shave feel. Two passes for a DFS. A Wednesday doesn't start much better. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Great picture and shave, Jim!
    Your collection of PAA soaps and splashes is amazing.
    The CK6 post shave is where that soap base really shines.

    Cobra Classic
    Feather Pro
    BSB-2 with Vie-Long 2 Band
    WSP Matterhorn
    Myrsol Antesol
    Guerlain Habit Rouge

    [​IMG]​

    I decided to pull out my overlooked and neglected BSB-2 shave brush for the next few days. Asha went to the Wet Shaving Products store in Chandler, AZ and picked out a couple of shave soaps for me. The first up is WSP Matterhorn which is a take on Creed Silver Mountain Water. The scent is clean fresh and crisp. For the first time using WSP products, I found the Formula T easy to load and lather. The soap does take a lot of water but I was rewarded with a rich slick lather. Three passes and touch up had the baby very close so I went for a 4 pass on my lower right neck to catch the little guy. A splash of Antesol followed by the Habit Rouge which was a gift from Maya left me smooth shaven and smelling fantastic. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
