Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

It's a wet, dreary day. One of those days where you just want to stay in bed. If there's any upside it's that "Sand Mountain Sam" (Alabama's "Punxsutawney Phil" but an opossum) did NOT see his shadow today! So that means an early Spring! EAT IT, PHIL!!!

Great shave this morning. This type weather IMO just begs for deeper, richer scent notes so I went with MacDuffs "American Vintage" shave soap. Wonderful tobacco / woody notes with light spice. Fantastic lather for two passes with the Aristocrat and I finished with a splash of Derby City Chop Shop's "Winter Reserve" shave tonic and several sprays of Phardon "Tabac Rouge". Great complementary frag for the soap!

Hope you have a great day.

Soap Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush Zenith 28mm Boar
Razor 1 Dorko 43 Near Wedge
Razor 2 Titan ACRM-2 African Timber Scale
Aftershave RazoRock Mudder Focker Splash
This is just a top-shelf soap with a super creamy and very slick lather, whipped up easily by the unbelievably soft & large boar brush. Soap & AS scents matched nicely!
Today's shave was to compare one of my top SRs with a buttery smooth edge with this Titan after putting it through the LaLune & the full diamond balsa progression. Both were strop on the Kanayama. Dorko (easily passes the HHT) was on the left & Titan (absolutely failed TTT/HHT) was on the right. 3passes and Dorko did not fail...super nice and efficient but the surprise was the Titan...it did very well, and the edge was very comfortable and more efficient than the initial use. Overall, Dorko's result was bbs-ccs while Titan's was dfs-sas. Some red creeper and minor irritation on the left...hahaha. Delightful comparison...

Dorko for the win! Both razors look beautiful my friend - great shave!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great end-of-the-workweek shave today. Went with Phoenix Shaving's "Lo Haiku" soap and splash which is their homage to the infamous "Hai Karate" of yore. Not for the faint of heart, this stuff packs a punch! Definitely a rager! Also not something to wear in the warmer months. A cooler-weather scent if there ever was one. Muted citrus top with strong base of woods, green notes, musk and powder. Super thick and slick lather for two passes and I finished with the matching splash and Creed "Tabarome" Millésime.

Hope you have a great day.

A sort of tropical shave on this cool morning. The fruity Hemingway cream blended really well with the Trumper coconut, and the Polo made wonderful lather with them. The IR blade was almost as smooth in the Diamondback as the vintage blades I usually use, and it is the only modern blade that I really like.

Hey, much thanks! Dorko steel is indeed something special. The Titans are very nice too especially the timber scales. I am absolutely and helplessly inside the straight razor hole unable to climb back out...but I love it..hahaha!

Nice soap for the aromatic scent and good quality lather...whip up pleasurably with the large badger brush...
Today's shave with this excellent razor was very enjoyable. Buttery smooth and crisp edge after stroping on the 0.1um balsa and Kanayama leather. 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
