2019 Shave # 109 ( 162 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Sputnik (1)
Brush: Sorrentino Custom Orange Crush Cashmere
Soap: CFG Easy Street
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: CFG Easy Street
Fragrance: Endymion Concentrate

1st off the SOTD for this date is incorrect but I can't edit it. Sputnik was the blade used today in the Rockwell 6s which I believe I will dub as "The Prodigal Son". I chose to use CGF Easy Street Soap/Splash set from @NurseDave (Thanks Man) Got a great lather for CFG and LOVE this scent. Very happy to have the unobtanium and put it to use. Topped with the Endymion Concentrate which I'm not sure if I like as much as the EDC sample I had but it is nice. Just probably would have been happy with the EDC at 1/2 the price. Regardless I'm feeling and smelling good and ready to tackle a day of window cleaning. Have an awesome day Cadre !!

What a great smelling shave Dave!

 

[GearNoir]

Feel like the coating affected the performance at all? Positively or negatively?

 

[MilkCrate]

Great shave! Man your pic game is really on.

2019 Shave # 110 ( 163 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Disco High-rise Beehive
Soap: Soapy Science Lollipop Citrus
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Clubman Citrus Musk

Had a luxurious shave today with Soapy Science Lollipop Citrus. It is definitely a citrus scent. I get mostly lemon/lime for the most part. Creates a great lather that is protective and slick enough. Seems to be lacking in residual slickness and left my skin feeling dry. Nothing Lisa's Balm couldn't fix. Love having my 6s back which seems a better shave to me than the 6c I was using while waiting for it's return. The brush was awesome and breaking n nice. 1 lost hair on test lather yesterday and none today during the shave. Topped with what else except Clubman Citrus Musk. Time to enjoy coffe and some Blueberries perusing the forum before heading out to work. Have a swell day Cadre !!

You seem to have accidentally started the day with dessert sir.

"Accidentally" would indicate no intent.................intent was there....pretty sure I can blame the lollipop and citrus scents and win in court

Dave, I love the Sorrentino Orange Crush brush. It is a beauty. Blueberry cheesecake! I'm dying here!

Okay I need to get on this plan. Cheesecake for breakfast?! And here I thought I was special because I had another homemade banana nut muffin for breakfast.

You’re special in so many other ways

 

[Dave in KY]

Thanks guys, wife told me to get it finished off and out of the fridge. 2 more slices to go........my work around the house is never done........

 

[GearNoir]

Great entry Dave! Another good way to start the day is pie!

Glad the new soap is agreeable so far.

Dave I absolutely love that Disco Beehive and when I was looking at the pics for the latest drop that was the one I was mostly drawn to! Congrats on the pick up! You said it's your first high rise...how does it perform versus the regular beehive?
