Soap Wholly Kaw Man From Mayfair
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black Synthetic
Razor GEM Junior
Blade GEM Stainless 5th
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Thayers
Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
Another enjoyable scent from the soap. The performance was as good too.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was generally smooth and comfortable for 3passes but now I understand what will happen if this blade passes through a bump...immediate slice-off...2 nicks! Stopped by alum. Otherwise, it was a good shave for between bbs to dfs result. Good post & aftershaves.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.
Found out this past weekend that the singer in my country band has tested positive for COVID-19. Luckily we weren't able to practice this past Thursday (drummer couldn't make it) or else I'd be quarantining right now.
I've been checking on him and he's doing okay. Mild symptoms. Unfortunately his wife is experiencing symptoms now. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Great shave today! First use of the AoS "Bourbon" shaving cream. Very nice! Woody and warm.. Finished with a splash of the Nivea aftershave and a spray of the Creed "Royal Oud".
Hope you have a great day!!

SInce @CBLindsay started teasing about a new DB soap and base, I have been excited, and it was worth the wait. This Fusion X base easily whips up yogurt consistency slickness. The aroma of the dragons blood is potent, spicey, ancient, and amazingly enticing. I am absolutely impressed with this, and could abdicate use of everything else (sans the DB Master Barber, I do really like a puck in an Old Spice mug), for this one soap. Adding in the entire vertical dragons blood tonic and oil combo made this an awesome shave.

Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic
Clubman Whiskey Wood
Superb lather from the soap! Superbly thick, creamy, and slick...
Initially shave with razor paired with a 3rd used KAI blade but can feel somehow it was rough and uncomfortable so change to the JAWS mid-wtg pass. Immediately rewarded with smooth and comfortable 3passes without issues for a bbs to dfs result. Really nice blade this JAWS but perplexing with the KAI. Excellent Whisky Woods...awesome long-lasting scent. Rating 9.5/10
