I got to enjoy some new (or new to me) products today, and they didnt disappoint. The new Cigar Shop Hombre scent is rustic, outdoorsy, and all around masculine. It was a great mix with Whisky Woods from Pinaud. I was also quite happy to have a new soap in my Hull Pottery OS mug. BBS enjoyment.

Razor: Slim Adjustable [5]
Blade: Nacet (2)
Brush: Yaqi 22mm badger
Soap: CBL Master Barber Cigar Shop Hombre
Splash: Pinaud Whisky Woods

First run with zingari.
Slick and and I mean slick, and thirsty.
Hold on to your razors boys!
The trafalgar really does wonders with making lather, wow.
I have two things to say to Heather over at Zingari man,
Shut up and take my money.
She sent a sample of the watchman, I am literally counting the moments before I place an order for that one as well.

Friday 18th Shave was with Wolfman Razor WR1 open comb plate.

DFS member Fedsbackhand aka Matt send me razor to be polished and ask me to give it a try.

My thoughts and my opinion Fantastic Razor made by James another Great Canadian Artisan I don’t know James personally never spoke to him but he is doing Phenomenal Job Happy2 making them. I know now why there is a long waiting list one man operation that’s hard and completely understand / respect that.

Was razor smooth?? It wasn’t overall aggressive as I use Blade Gap Preferably .61,.68 such as timeless and Karve Plate A .60 etc..nothing major I can complain about it or say..

Is it worth money despite of cost Yes. Only if we can afford one to get. And besides all as I say Do What Makes you Happy & Enjoy those Shaves with Smile Big Grin

Take Care & Stay Safe
