Day #5 with Doc and my evaluation of the newest offering from CBL and Hombres Barbershop. As expected the subtle nuances of this soap keep showing themselves.
Used the vector with a new blade today, along with the shavemac. Beautiful 3 pass shave for DSBBS
Finished off with the AS as aftershave and edt. Some Lavender WH as well as some talc and off the shop
If you want this contact CBL as i believe in conversations with him he has enough for 6 to 10 more sets, then is will switch to my stock with is under 15 at this point
Also we have about 5 sets of Spaghetti Western that are avail. Contact me via dm for those
Have a good day folks

Day number six with Doc Holiday, and I am throwing every brush and every razor at the shave soap set and it is just performing stellarly
We’ll have a complete review on Sunday in my video however, this is definitely one that you wanna get
So far, I can honestly say that I think this is the best one that CBL soap has ever done
Shaved with the feather artist club, which was in the archives and used it since the essence came out and it was a beautiful shave three passes DSBBS and of course, the dock aftershave used as an EDT as well for the win
Have a wonderful Friday folks

Well, after a very nice long run with Doc Holiday, a nice change of pace and a space/NASA themed shave. Apollo by Eleven Soap ( a Creed Aventus homage ), and the Gillette Techmatic ( Approved for Nasa Flights ) and the Blackbird Brush seem appropriate for a hot muggy day before, hopefully the storms hit, and Ethos ( another Aventus homage ), and of course the real deal in Aventus for the EDP.
not the greatest shaver in the world, but good angles, and a fresh strip of the blade left the face with a nice BBS finish, Some talc, and Vassili's of creed made for a nice shave.
Have a good Tuesday Folks

Very nice quick shave with the Gillette tech as I start my week at the shop using Hoffman’s dogfight very unique sent and a very nice soap
Only two passes today, as the tech Matic from yesterday tore me up pretty good

Out of the archives today, chiseled face, Santa Paula. A beautiful walk-through in Orange Grove with a fresh smell of Valencia oranges orange blooms, and greenery.
This was stuck in the back of the soap locker and I had honestly forgot I had it
Sorrentino made quick work of the lather as well as the Chevalier on whisker removal duty
Three passes today and a DSBBS shave
Hope everybody has a great day
