2019 Shave # 21
Razor: Mergress
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Brush: Sorrentino 1/4 Moon Synthetic
Soap: Barrister and Mann Diamond
Aftershave 1: Thayers Cucumber
Aftershave 2: Aqua Velva
So this morning I went with a sample o B&M Diamond. The scent off the sample was too light to distinguish and once lathering I got mainly a cinnamony scent which must have been the caramel I guess or just the combination/mix of some of the scents gave me that. Nice although I didn't think I was at a ball game.......Here is their description:
We blend notes of freshly cut grass, stadium soil, beer, leather, pine, cedar, popcorn, and caramel to conjure the unforgettable experience of attending a big league game during every shave. As the only shaving soap company in Cooperstown, NY, we’re very proud of our heritage and our soap. We hope you enjoy shaving with it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Play ball!
Nice slick and yogurty lather gave great protection and a VERY nice shave. Not sure which base this is in and forget who sent me this sample (sorry) but VERY nice addition to the Clown Puke tub of which I have a running list of all that is in it.
3rd shave with the Mergress and the best feeling to date. Got a nice and smooth shave so I must have dialed it in. I do think it isn't getting me as close a shave as I get with my other razors BUT I don't think I want to dial it up more and get a less smooth shave. I feel good after the shave now but the stubble comes back much sooner and thicker than what I normally have. It's a GORGEOUS razor and again f I saw one for the price this was on BST, I'd buy to have. I doubt I'd buy new though. It does have me thinking I need to add a Fatboy back to the stable since mine went in a trade deal. I appreciate Jim giving me a chance to take this for a spin and scratch the itch to knwo my feelings since they are different for all of us with different variables in the equation.
Icy weather has our services cancelled this morning so holed up at home and getting ready to have a brunch of Eggs, Biscuits, Sausage and Gravy. Have a GREAT day Cadre !!
