Nice shave soap pairing!

 

Karve-D/PolSilver.

 

I haven't used Afta since the early 90's when I first started shaving. I need to pick up a bottle for variety in my den.

 

I'd love to find one somewhere muhself.

The Thursday Way:

pre-Dove 4 Men Bodywash(Hydration Balance)in shower
shave-Barbasol Original
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Stephan Bay Rum

This shave kicks off 8 days of shaves that all pertain to one theme: Barbershop. Same wit h post-shower hair gels.

 

I’m diggin the setup. If the razor ends up on the chopping block let me know.

It was a pre-order only that started there, yes. You didn't have to be a member to order though. It was an open link, I believe. The pre-order defined precisely how much product was needed so there was no risk to the artisan. There are some disaster reserves that are already spoken for. The artisan alluded there would be another small batch in the near future, but the group did not restrict the artisan from making even more batches in the future as he sees fit. For example, he's been making "Black Bergamot" sporadically for a few years and it's a Razor and Brush FB group soap. Ultimately, the availability will depend on the demand (and profitability). I assume positive word-of-mouth will push him to make more. Catie's Bubbles can do dupes blindfolded, but in recent years, he's proven to be quite the wizard in original fragrances. 322, Confiant, and V are among his best works in my opinion, and they're completely original. "Vintage" is easily part of that conversation, now.

 

What a beautiful composition!

 

Couldn't tell you, Tommy. Unlikely at this price.

 

DECEMBER 4TH
SHAVE OF THE NIGHT
TABAC TUESDAY

 

Blackland Vector & Feather Pro Super
Semogue Boar
GD Mallard Kulfi
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Stetson Cooling Moisture a/s lotion
Artisan Woods (house brand TJ Maxx)

Shave #6 with the Pro Super but, with the Vector. Just an excellent feeling shave that was not as smooth feeling as with the Paradigm SE but, it was no way a harsh feeling shave. Just more blade feel while still feeling comfortable and great face feel. It’s just a different feeling shave with the Vector, more direct and in tune with the razor if that makes any sense. And NOTHING is as nimble as the Vector in terms of modern shaving SE’s. Have a great evening and amazing shaves Gents.... ​
