Just spend the last 2 days driving with our 6 month old down to my in-laws Florida beach house where we'll spend the next 3 weeks through Thanksgiving. Going with a nice cool shave setup for the time down here. Brought Seaforth Spiced down too just in case I get bored.

Soap: Whispers from the Woods All Things Nice

Post: Nivea 2 phase A/S Lotion & Sensitive Post Shave Balm

There's a reason why I moved away from Astra blades as they aren't that great in giving a smooth/close shave...
At least the brush, soap & post shave made up for it!
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!!!

Got the opportunity to try a new to me blade, Israeli Personna Viking Sword. Certainly reminds me of the old Israeli Reds, and I happen to have some left to compare later. Add some Southern Witchcrafts and the Timeless to the mix, today was just excellent. Autopilot to a BBS.

Razor: Timeless Bronze SB .38 (...sneeky sneeky bingo practice...)
Blade: Israeli Personna Viking Sword
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Tuxedo
Soap: Southern Witchcrafts Samhain
Splash: Old Spice Hawkridge
Balm: EMJ Sig Mint

I’ll say it one last time, I’m REALLY glad the razor is working out for you! It is an absolute beauty and shaves great - was just too aggressive for my liking. Timeless also has some of the best customer service and speedy shipping in our little shaving world as well. 👍👍👍

Well, thank you for the great deal on this for sure. This is a smooth, hefty, shave machine, that is just to my liking. It is enough for me to question why I need all these others (question it mind you, not do anything about it, because that would just be crazy talk)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.

Great shave today! First use of the Moon Soap's "Havana". Nice scent and lather. Gonna give it a few more tries to get the water ratio correct. I'm slowly but surely turning back into a tallow snob. :oops:
Finished with a splash of vintage Avon "Everest" and a spray of Mont Blanc "Presence".

Hope you have a great day!
