Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! I ordered a "4" base plate for my Blackland Era razor and it arrived yesterday. So, I swapped out the number "3" that came with it and man, what an improvement! More aggressive but not harsh. Nigh BBS result! Went with Phoenix Shaving's "Hotel Cecil" soap and splash which is an homage to the original Burma Shave scent. Can't comment on its accuracy (never tried Burma Shave) but the soap and splash has a nice clean, barbershop, quasi-astringent quality that I find very nice. Finished with a spray of YSL M7 Fresh EdT which hits on the "warmer/spicier" notes in the soap & splash.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

I love the Gillette Senator and Sheraton, they are efficient, mild, and very comfortable shavers! Beautiful example!

Soap Ariana & Evans Kaizen
Brush Yaqi 24mm Ruby Tuxedo
Razor Red Imp 132
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Ariana & Evans Kaizen Splash
Lovely scented soap with a rich creamy and slick lather...nice!!
This shave with the razor after going thru the 0.1um hanging pasted balsa and kanayama strop felt really good. Is it a placebo effect because somehow after the kanayama, the edge felt smoother & keener (2 days in a row)? Managed 2.5passes without any red spots for a ccs+/dfs finish. The matching aftershave was super...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. I had another setup planned but after the "Most Regretted Blind Buy" discussion in the Soaps & Creams forum, I decided to break out Phoenix Shaving's "Twee" soap for today's shave. Admittedly, this is more of an "inspired by" type scent that a straight up clone, but the lather quality and performance far exceeded anything I got from Creed's GIT shave soap many years ago. Three passes with the Era for another nigh BBS result. I finished with a splash of Booster Mosswood and a spray of Davidoff "Cool Water". Fresh, green spicy goodness! Excellent!!

Hope you have a wonderful day my friends.
