AoS Oud~~Simpson CH3~~Leresche #51/Feather~~Tom Ford Oud Wood
Cool weather with precipitation calls for something "Oudy". Therefore, AoS Oud shaving cream followed by Tom Ford Oud Wood.
In between, we have the French Leresche #51 loaded with the third and final appearance of the Feather blade.
Delivering the Oud cream to the kisser is my bestest Chubby 3. Back in the Somerset era, Best Badger and beautifully shaped knots were the order of the day.
Best Badger today bears little to no resemblance to the fine, soft and luxurious Best Badger of old.
This brush has a large knot with sufficient flow-through to deliver the lather to the face, without hogging it.
The Frech razor shaves well and the results were wonderful...not BBS everywhere, but a very fine shave.

For those Americans, who are celebrating Thanksgiving, I wish you all a wonderful day with your families.​

Have a fantastic day too! You started it well with the shave my friend!

Excellent shave setup! Hope you have a great day as well Primo!

MWF~~Culmak 92~~Dovo~~Nasomatto Baraonda
Fat Friday and the MWF lathered like a champ.
Dovo steel to clean off the stubble.
This edge needs work.
Less than perfect results.
Smelling good, however.



My only "whiskey" -ish scent and it's a good'n. ​

Hang around me right now and you’d detect a Whisky(no e)ish scent…

Valobra Fougère~~Simpson Emperor 3~~Canadian Pre-War Tech/Sharp Star~~Vintage YSL Kouros
I hope all the members of TSC had a wonderful Thanksgiving and spent some quality time with family.
While the weather is cool, I opted for a powerful fougère combo with a Canadian and Russian twist.
Unwrapping the Russian Sharp Star, you will immediately smile as you gaze upon the steel---unmarked with noxious glue dots.
@wristwatchb

For @JTSpartan and my other friends north of the border, this Tech is a first-class blade holder. I like to check the blade exposure, making doubly-sure it's equal. The Tech design is a bit sloppy in this regard.

Every once in a while you find a winning recipe for an outstanding shave. This line up is just that good.
The ATG on the neck was so smooth, it was as if my neck was anesthetized.
Stank juice today is for real men only. Avert your eyes if you aren't certain.





I have a few bottles that are "Civet" forward:
Original Aramis (Urban Legend)
Amouage Gold
Dior Leather Oud
Vintage Givenchy Gentlemen
Kouros is King.​

I always enjoy reading and learning from your posts, Joseph. My takeaways today include:

You should stick with Sharp Star blades.
I plan to PIF my bottle of Aramis now that I know what it smells like.

Have a great weekend!

Going old school with the cologne!

Thanks, Charlie.
There's a reason you are an Aramis fan.
Just go with it.
Civet rocks.
