2019 Shave # 101 (154 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (5)
Brush: TSC Legacy by Sorrentino
Soap: LNHC Tashmere
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Balm: LNHC Unscented
Aftershave 2: Pitralon
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Endymion

So another great scent and performer from @LNHC Enjoyed this last shave with the Vector before it mails off to Kyle @uacowboy today or tomorrow. Forgot to take a pic with it before cleaning it and boxing it up. I'll need a touch up shave this afternoon before services tonight (Because of missed areas doing a Mediocre Spoof Shave - Video in VLOG section) Trying to talk myself into heading to work for a short day but not feeling it so we'll see what happens. Have a Great day Cadre !!

I think I’ve decided just to make my own Maravilla. I’ve got some Master Bay Rum sitting around somewhere I think, little bit of that in a generic witch hazel!

Now that sounds like a great idea!

But you got to keep it and get a refund. Chad would like a deal like that. They had me return the bottle ☹☹

Yup same here...Kept the bottle of witch hazel when I ordered. But I'm with KJ...I would have preferred what I ordered.

So @dangerousdon and @Spider Which one did you get (they have a bunch of different ones) and how do you like it for a Witch Hazel?

I ended up with just the plain old witch hazel in the red label. I like it just fine...have been using it pretty much since I got it and will likely finish the bottle this week. But I am ready to go back to my Thayer's!

Wow...the scent on this soap sound amazing! I really need to get more of Lisa's soaps! Especially with all the new scents she has now!

Just plain WH..... it's no different than the generic that I normally buy.

Thanks guys, I wondered as they have it looks like a pretty varied selection.

2019 Shave # 102 ( 155 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Charcoal Goods Level 2
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (6)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Honey Noir Beehive LE
Soap: LNHC Haute Leather
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Penhaligon's Sartorial
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Sartorial

Enjoying a week straight of @LNHC soaps. I have to say I like the new logo on the tubs but prefer the eyes on the previous. Can't please everyone Lisa and matters not what this awesome soap is in, it will be used with pleasure. Went with the Haute Leather today. Lather was a little watery but that was user error having the Badger too wet after soaking it when I started loading. The soap rose above the user error and yielded a thin but great slick lather to shave with. I actually chased jut a tad and got the Dolphins singing in unison. Topped off with Sartorial and I smell great to go tackle the light day of work. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Very nice shave today Dave! And nice pairing of the brush and razor!

Thanks Don, I really like the shaves from this better than the Timeless. Much smoother with the Level 2 plate and SB

 

[uacowboy]

Looks like a great start to the day! That razor handle is just plain cool.

 

[JWS VII]

That's some fine kit Dave!

Pretty looking shave. Better than the Timeless?? This is not good.

Thanks Dave, well for me it is without a doubt but you may prefer the Timeless. Did that help?
