    So nice I used it twice.
    Before going to church this morning a shave was in order. My straight razor beckoned, but my muscles ached from use in the moderate surf and repetitive actions required for metal detecting. So I decided to stay with the Parker Variant and silvertip. I did change the soap and aftertreatments. I used Stirling black ice and the matching aloe and wh. I used Prada over this. I liked the mix. As for the treasures, they're still in Davie Jones locker.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20170430_095825_resized.jpg 20170430_094815_resized.jpg

    Thank you Jeff. Funny thing, I was sitting looking at the water and wondered, if I went in the water which would I grab. :)

    Yes, i use it now and again. I find it's pale soapy rose mixes nicely with sandalwood. Together they make an ok shave.

    Today's shave was with a freshly restored(partially), and freshly honed Monkey Tail Razor. It took a very sharp edge, and delivered a BBS 2 pass shave, with minor touchups. No nicks, cuts, or weepers. Excellent razor.

    Razor- Bengall. Monkey Tail
    Brush- B 400, By Tom
    Soap- Stirling Spice
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice
