***EDIT - Great shave. Love the REX Ambassador. 1-pass + extensive cleanup. I'm really getting into using the Chill Mill for refreshing summer shaves. I live in a super-hot desert climate, so the Chill Mill really feels great this time of year.

Also, the Big Shave East scent is so underrated. I think the scent is unique and there is nothing else out there like it and it's a spectacular summer scent. I have urged PAA to keep the scent alive, and I was told they would 'consider' re-introducing the scent under a new name and theme. Just in case it is eventually never to be seen again, I have bought backups for the products. I hope the scent is kept alive somehow because it's truly a great fragrance scent for summer.

***EDIT 2 - Oh yeah, the PAA Solar Flare lather brush is one of the best lathering brushes I've ever used. It's super soft and it was effortless in applying whipping up and applying the lather.

 

Great pic!

Looks like I'm walking thru the jungle when this giant F & shave gear blocks my path.

 

No problem, Primotenore!
There are dozens of soap named after the famed barber and many of Italian production.
But never heard this 'Special'...

A crisp, clean and invigorating shave. The Florida Freeze from Lisa’s is about the smoothest mentholated shave soap I’ve ever experienced. Not an instant face freezer, just a calming coolness that lingers for an hour or so. Very refreshing. A great day and shaves to everyone.
A cold Pint to all....

I can see you finger prints, Brian. Hey, at least your fingernails are clean.

 

I am reaching out to the fellow from whom I purchased the soap.

 

Now that could have been embarrassing!

I'm changing my opinion on the compatibility of the Feathers with my skin: on certain razors are excellent, but on others... not really.
Today on the Red Tip they were scratchy.
A great cut, but I felt the blade!
Infact, while feeling neither alum nor Figaro Gel, my skin was unhappy and after the Pro Victis it was better.
This never happened to me with Kai and 7 O'Clock Green, with no razor at all.

I should try the Yellows and then finish the amount of blades and get a supply of these two.
2032, mid-November, I would say...
