Fireworks scented shave soap? How "cool" is that?? 😁

Yeah I sprung for the Phoenix Shaving Fireworks shave soap. Had to try it out! Couldn't resist! It does capture the smell although it's subtle.. It's not like sticking a spent Roman Candle tube up each nostril but you know what it is. A hint of something citrusy in there as well. Or it may just be the soap base. Yeah, it's a gimmick.. But the Crown King base gives a great lather (I like it just as much as the CK-6 base personally). HAD to go with the "Atomic Rocket" brush because, well what else would I use on Independence Day?!?! Went with a cooling splash of Aqua Velva and finished with a spritz of CK One.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Gillette Silver Blue / Alum / Aqua Velva "Ice Blue" Aftershave Splash / CK One EdT

Happy 4th of July to all. Family's coming over for a barbecue and a swim. Expecting 17, so I’ll be keeping it short today. My Kamisori skills are improving. The LaResche 51 is a terrific razor. I really should shave with it more. VBBS on the dome and a DFS+ on the mug. A friend on another forum recommended the HiShave Moist Gel for the Kamisori and it made a difference. Face feels great after using it, and it really softened up the stubble so much that I felt I was brushing it off my face. Great stuff, the only downside is that it is not brush friendly. So that’s that. Cool, clean and velveteen, baby! Who could ask for more!

RAZOR: Feather Kamisori SS (Mug), LaResche 51 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather Super AC, Suneko DE

BRUSH: Jayaruh Custom Boar #374
