Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + HA + PA + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Lovely scented soap with good lather qualities. Creamy and slick enough...
This GD 208...no other words but wow! The edge is very smooth and comfortable after a quick strop on the 0.1um and kanayama leather. 3passes without any red spots nor irritation for mixed bbs/dfs/ccs finish. Razor is good but my skills are yet to be...the journey, however, is very enjoyable! The aftershaves were good for a super hot day...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today. The new brush finally made it in after nearly a month so I had to use it this morning. Paired it with MdC original soap for three passes and finished with some Williams Aqua Velva and a spray of Chanel Platinum Égoïste EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Personna 74 Tungsten (7)
Brooks Brothers aftershave

I don't know who actually made the soap and aftershave for Brooks Brothers, but they made great products. And with the wonderful old Personna blade, the Diamondback does a fine job. Still, the Paradigm 17-4 is just very slightly smoother for me than the Diamondback, my WR2, or the Carbon razors.

A wonderful soap with a beautiful scent and a rich creamy and slick lather...
Today's shave with this razor was nice enough. Sorta hurried 2.5passes for a ccs-dfs finish and a weeper.
The matching aftershave was just super...
