The Shelf #3 Saga continues with the Paladin Silk Road, A nice shave today a Paladinpalooza with a Penhaligon's topper. Silk Road is an Oriental for sure anise, lavender, vetiver. Can you say tri-fecta?

The EA berg, as always provides the typical Swedish Bade Shave, perfection with a hint of move wrong and I will "kill ya".

3-passes today DSBBS G topped it off with the balm and two Vasilli's of the Endymion Concentre for a perfect finish.

Set-up:



Enjoy the rest of your evening Gents
 
Nice set up and photo, Dave. I need to break out my Paladin brush more often - it's a good one.
 
I tried a sample of silk road once and had the opportunity to buy a tub or two...I am kind of regretting that I did not. Great shave and Pic Dave!
 
Great shave Dave, and I can only imagine the scents. SWMBO is so sensitive to frags that I rarely can experiment. Only a little bit on days I leave the house for the day (work).
 
nice one Dave! Silk Road is one of the two scents I have and it's a nice, I like it better than Crossroads.

Today's Shave was a very nice one. My MK #33 is beaten torn up and almost made it into the shadow box. It was really the onus behind me committing to honing. A very well respected honemeister has indicated there was no hope for this blade. Being stupid, I rejected and begun the determined task of getting a shaveable edge on this rare bird.

Success, and I have been shaving with it ever since. Sure it will probably disintegrate in my hands someday, but until that point that I have to retire it I will enjoy and keep looking for a more pristine version, although I think I may be Out of luck. This razor reminds me of, and has been named Lee Marvin. A bit grisled, a bit to much hardship, looking the wear of a long life, but still one mean and nasty S.O.B. He shaves that way to. Like his sister the MK#32, treat him right and he will reward you, get complacent and both will begin the ambulance call, LOL

Today was a good day. 3-passes, a tad bit of irritation, but DSBBS all over, the irritation was the only item not allowing for a Grail shave.

Bayolea..... Not much else to be said, just nirvana in a couple of bottles. spicy, yet perfect for summer. A nice AS splash and a few Vasilli's........ and maybe a few more Vasilli's....... and OK a few more , and I was off to the races

Set-up:



Hope you all have a fantastic day, and as usual I will get caught up on your journals as I can. BTW Thanks for being a part of "The Shaving Cadre"
 
That old boy looks like it will remain serviceable in your den for many years to come. It is far from pristine, but not much hone wear that I can see, and the bevel appears to be pretty thin. Unsightly means nothing to me. It's all about how it shaves.
 
Great shave and pic. While the razor won't win any beauty contests, it appears to be in good shape to me. It is certainly in better shape than my Torrey and Genco.
 
Physical beauty...that's in the eye of the beholder Dave. That Mk33 is beautiful in its own right, and c'mon...it's a Mk33!! Great shave with some wonderful accoutrements today!
 
I have to ask, is there a Penhaligon's scent that's still on your want list that you don't have?

Thansk Josh
 
Nice shave Dave. I look at a razor like that and I don't think about how warn it is. I think about how many great shaves it must have given throughout its life. From the looks of it, it still has a lot left.
