    PAA Organism 46B soap, Wild West Brushworks Radioactive Core badger brush, PAA Ascension Double Open Comb razor, loaded for bear with a Derby blade, and a finish with barrel aged PAA Boomtown Bay Rum aftershave.

    Two clean passes, not a bit of touch up needed, excellent quality shave. The Boomtown Bay Rum splash is the bomb.

    A favourite of mine.
    If available over there I recommend Atkinsons Gold Medal, Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonial Concentrada and/or Roger & Gallet Jean-Marie Farina.

    Like 4711 the first two are fleeting, the Farina has a bit more stamina but still not a marathon runner.

    I've had this razor for a while but haven't been able to use it because it takes proprietary blades but thanks to the talent of @twhite I finally got to give it a go, cheers Tom.
    At the moment I prefer the slightly uglier sister - the Model Three - but it's early days.
    First go with the Puig Quorum as well and I like it.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    You're welcome Doug, that should be "Concentrada", corrective text thought it knew better.
    Thanks Doug, yes Tom's a very talented man.

    A new one. Since I'm flying to San Jose CA and taking PAA Atmotic AS and shave soap and as seen on the PAA label, the Atmotic was or is a dirigible balloon or zeppelin so I thought out would be a fun tie in with me flying out today.
