The Deets-
My bad … I have been slacking in the journal again. Since my last update, I have been using both tubs in my rotation and samples. I have been veering away from a weekly set and just living in the moment … random. The constant, in my setup, has been the H. Diamond … great razor.
Today, Porthos got the nod. It’s a homage to the original Aramis and I dig it. The CK-6 base delivers a great shaving experience too. I whipped up a really nice lather and got to it.
20 laps on linen, with 60 laps on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG, and ATG with no drama to report. Those three smooth passes left me BBS for the win! I wrapped everything up with a healthy splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! That was a very nice start to the day. Life is good!
