Good job with the greyscale, it really covers the absolute ugliness that are the stock DX scales! Lol.

How do you like Fine Plat? I’ve only experienced CC Venture and I really like it. It’s turned me onto the Aventus trail heavily! They are finishing the product line during the summer months with soaps and whatnot, but I’ve come to find out that Fine Plat is a favorite of many. I’m torn a bit.

Thanks Chris:

I actually like the Whote DX scales they offer a good contrast with photos, and I find them comfortable, I Love the Fine Platinum and find it is the closest to Aventus than the others, both in Soap and AS. I have not tried the EDP yet, but there will always be a bottle of the Creed in the den... It may only get bigger, LOL

A fine set-up, a fine shave, and to top it off with Aventus...you said it, "perfect".

30-laps Trans-Ark Hone / 25 Higgins English Linen / 50 Westholme Fast Draw

Globusmen Capitol
DeRuiter Tucson / Boar
WWSC Laramie Shave Soap
Clubman Aftershave Splash
Canoe EdT

A quick 3 and out today. This was my 1st use of the Laramie and it was very nice and SOS is high with this one at 4/5. Canoe and Clubman are a perfect match. Light , fresh and a bit floral on the soap. Reminds me of MW Jasmine a bit. Lather is very similar to Stirling and MW, so very nice.

DSBBS from the Capitol today. Funny how one of my biggest nemesis razors has become one of my best shavers, LOL As stated finished up with Clubman and Canoe. not much else better for a busy Friday.

NOW I know whey I don't straight razor shave. I'd be tired after running 5 laps, never mind 95! Good to keep busy in retirement, I see.
 
STARDATE: AD:20180519 Injector Shave
Pre-Shave Lather / Hot Towel & Rinse
Post-Shave: Lucky Tiger Aftershave Salve / Cold Towel & Rinse

Schick Injector
Sorrentino Barzini / Tuxedo Synthetic
Penhaligon's Endymion Shave Cream / CC lather bowl
Paladin aftershave balm infused with Endymion EdT
Penhaligon's Endymion Concentre EdP

Nice early morning shave today before heading to the shop. I dont use the injector very often so today was a surprising treat, as I was able to really hit the grove with this thing. Of course the Pen's Cream whipped up very nicely in the CC bowl, and well not much else to be said about the Sorrentino.

2 passes and cleanup today left me with a very nice BBS shave in no time flat, I can see the draw to these razors for sure.

finished up with some Paladin AS balm sweetened by some of the regular Endymion, and topped off with 3 Vasilli's of the Concentre.

Set-up:



Have a Great Saturday my friends

 
Dave...I can tell you are retired...well sort of...your effects on your pics keep getting better and better. The rest of us unwashed masses can't keep up with you in that department!
