Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Doppelgänger Grey Label - SS, ASB, AS&C
Omega EVO
Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus
In for May, possibly even a MayHem shave or two. The month of May marks my 2 year anniversary month of primarily shaving with an open edge device (shavette, Kamisori or traditional straight razor) for 5-6 days/week. I don't specifically chart my shaves, have zero desire to. But....just curious on where I was, I did some rough calculations. To date, approximately 577 open edge shaves, if not more (using 5.5 as a standard). Most weeks from mid Feb to Mid December (my busy season), it's ~5 days per week with an open edge, but from mid December to mid February it's 6, if not 7 days a week with an open edge. Rare is the time now I'm using a safety razor, except when I travel, and then....a good bit of the time I'm using a my Feather shavette.
Past 2.5 months....tough to keep up/post on TSD. Unexpected challenges for our 2 teen aged children along with still being the caretaker for an elderly parent leaves very little time for anything other than keeping up with a busy work schedule. The 3 days off since first of March have been spent with family time (dates with wifey). Work slows a bit in May, which is a good thing. Still absolutely IN on the No Buy 2021, that ship still 'full steam ahead' and on course.
Today's shave, awesome PAA lather from the EVO, super smooth shaving from the Drew Dick Damascus blade. Couple weepers though, skin blemishes that get mowed over.
For the frag heads.....PAA's Doppelgänger Grey Label is a homage to Creed's Aventus. Super bright citrus/pineapple opening, with a wonderful wifey approved
dry down. Lasts for hours and hours.
