2021 Shaves: SE:1 / DE: 2 / SR:2 / Total Shave Count for the year: 5

Date: Tuesday 01.05.2021 Straight Razor Shave #1838 ( SE Shave today )
Razor: Blackland Vector / Feather Pro-Guard (1)
Brush:WCS Honeycomb / 3-band Finest
Shave Soap: Boellis Panama
Aftershave: Boellis Panama Daytona
Alum: Proraso
Talc: Borotalco
Fragrance: Boellis Panama Daytona EdT


Nice shave with the Vector today and a new Pro-Guard made it perfect. If you are a fan of Cella you will love Boellis. A semi soft soap from the masters in Italy. It comes in a large brick (as pictured), but can me transferred, as I have, to a bowl. So it will last a good amount of time. Very smooth on the face very easy to build a nice creamy, dense, slick lather. 3-passes today and DSBBS, was able to finally miss the angry follice that has been giving me strife. The Daytona Splash is a very lemon forward aftershave and it is a spray format and shoots a very fine mist. the dry down is a bit more herbaceous, and floral, but Italian Colonia all the way, but a much mellower version than AdP, Fine Italian Citrus, or SV 70th, and a bit "greener"

A few Vassili's of the EdT of the same variety and really a pure luxury shave

What is this? I looked it up and found recipes for "Aviation Cocktails". Is this some secret Master Barber formula?

Oh wait, is it Williams with Clubman Gents Gin added for flavor?
Yep..

 
Yep..

I made Electric Willy at the other place ('Lectric Shave). Like putting lipstick on a pig, if you ask me...
