Rooney 1/2 Horn Finest (24/50)
XPEC Original shaving cream (vintage Forester Milan version)
Wolfman WR2-SB/Darwin Copper
Wilkinson London Bridge (5)
Barrister & Mann Cologne Russe aftershave

Initially I didn't like the XPEC or the Cologne Russe scents, but over time I have come to like their musty, dank, Turkish bath tones. I wouldn't want to use them every day, but I enjoy them when they come around in my rotation about once a month. As always, the Wolfman was extremely smooth.

Wed 11
Soap CBL Tonsorial Roasted Oatmeal Stout
Brush Yaqi 24mm Freedom
Razor Gillette Fatboy F4 "Max 9 setting"
Blades Polsilver Stainless Vintage vs Polsilver Super Iridium
Aftershave Aqua Velva Musk
The soap's lather is truly amazing! Super creamy and very slick...
Blade challenge shaves with the vintage stainless on the left & super iridium on the right. Razor set at max 9 for all 3 passes. Overall, the iridium was just a tad smoother but the stainless was a tad efficient...verdict...a draw!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had pleasant evening.

New soap day with Barrister and Mann's "Fougere Classique" soap and splash. Inspired by Houbigant "Fougere Royale", it's a beautiful aromatic fougere with a lovely rich, green scent and a touch of talc (to my nose anyway) which pushes it ever so slightly into barbershop territory. Wonderful! I've never tried the frag so I can't speak to its accuracy, but, I foresee a bottle of this wonderful elixir in my future. A decadently thick, slick lather built with the Rich Yuengel "Pit Viper" ST which provided a lot of cushion and the post-shave face feel was wonderful. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Nicolai "New York Intense" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)
