Good morning Cadre! Hope you pleasant evening.
Got a dental cleaning later on this morning so I borrowed a page from the playbook of @Graybeard57 and used low scent / no scent products. Definitely a "Bruce approved" soap with great lather but no scent whatsoever with the vintage Colgate Cup Soap. Great lather though, built with the 22mm Shavemac 120 ST brush. Two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with the Proraso "Refreshing" ASB. No frag applied yet. Will wait until after my appt.
Hope you have a great day.

Wed 19 Blade Challenge #3
Soap & Aftershave Yaqi Lemon Lime Cedarwood
Brush Yaqi 24mm Cavern Lake 2 Band Badger
Razor Gillette Slim N4
Blade #1 Polsilver Vintage Stainless 3rd
Blade #2 Gillette Vintage Stainless 2nd
The soap, excellent brush, and splash combination were very good...& cold!
The razor at max 9 setting and with the Polsilver on the right and Gillette on the left provided a marvelously crisp, smooth, and efficient shave. 3passes for a bbs finish. The Polsilver feels a tad smoother but the Gillette is a tad more efficient....barely perceptible...

On this date in 1919, Leslie Irvin made the first free fall parachute descent using a rip cord, Dayton, OH
Rooney 1/3 Ebony Finest (26/52)
Tabac Shaving Soap (tallow)
Schick Krona
Personna 74 Tungsten (1)
Issey Miyake l'Eau d'Issey pour Homme aftershave
It required a lot of work, but the Krona gave me a near-BBS shave with the great old blade.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had pleasant evening.
Wonderful shave this morning. Temps will be back into the mid 80's today so I decided to go back to @Dragonsbeard / ETHOS Grooming Essentials and his incredible Island Collection. Great scent and lather from the "Bay Rum" soap built with the new "Belfour" 26mm Sweet Spot ST badger brush from Wild West Brushworks. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the "Tortola" skin food splash and a thorough dousing of Barberry Coast "Nature Isle" EdP.
Hope you have a great day.
