2019 Shave # 72 ( 127 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6c Plate 5
Blade: Pol Silver SI (5)
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
Soap: CBL Ghost Lime
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Avon Island Lime

A phenomenal shave with CBL this morning. I chased a little with the 6c and I was rewarded. I'm not great at picking an aftershave that I like with soaps normally but it's a no brainer with the awesome cooling of the Ghost Lime and Avon's Island Lime. I'm a little fussy about aftershaves and how they leave me feeling anymore. Aside from the scent, I need a good face feel. This leaves me thinking that with all the AS's I have, I need to go thru and pair down the splashes I have to just ones that meet my wants and get rid of the rest. Feel and smell great today. Hope all in the Cadre have a stupendous day !!

Oh man! That is the best paired lime soap and aftershave combo out their in my opinion! It's usually what I go with when I want a lime shave!

 

[Sharp's]

Very nice Dave. The lime must be a nice refreshing spring feeling.

 

[SteveChuckFrank]

I love that Avon motorcycle container!

 

[GearNoir]

Good report Dave. That 6s is really doing ya well!

I’ve been meaning to ask, is the Humphrey’s scent lasting for you (as in alters the scent of the AS you follow up with) or is it pretty fleeting?

 

[MilkCrate]

Very nice pair of shaves! What?! Scaling down the AS?

Pretty fleeting and never noticed it interfering at all.

Ones that I have and never use because I don't care for how they feel on the face. No need to keep them all just because the herd does

They can't all come in motorcycle bottles. Though...you could by a mess of Avon bottles and refill them with whatever.

They made 3, maybe 4 different motorcycle decanters. So there's that.....

 

[Dave in KY]

Have all the Avon decanters I need. Have about 20.

 

[SteveChuckFrank]

Wait I just caught the part about pairing down the AS. I totally missed that the first time. Did you forget where you are? You can't talk like that around here...it's not safe.

 

[GearNoir]

Time to start bathing in it!

 

[Cvargo]

Excellent two shaves with the Ghost lineup

2019 Shave # 73 ( 128 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Game Changer .84
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (5)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Harlequin Chief
Soap: CBL Harvest Oud
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Avon Deep Woods

Continuing with the CBL rotation. I bought this tub after using the sample Chris sent me but never got to the tub yet. May just have been me but the base seems a little different. Still a great soap but a little drier and less creamy compared to the others. Still yielded a great lather and t may just be me dialing it in. Scent is a great fall scent but I'm not to much into using soaps only in certain seasons. Paired it with Avon Deep Woods because.................................I never know. Just going thru the Avon's as well. Have a tremendous day Cadre !!

 

[SteveChuckFrank]

I love the Harlequin finish on the Paladin! Maybe one day I’ll have one....

 

[GearNoir]

Mmm Harvest Oud was a good one, came off a a riff on Roasted Oatmeal Stout to me; very yummy. Good shave Dave!
