Happy New Year 2023!! May the New Year bless you with health, happiness, and the best of shaves!!
Sun 1st New Year's Day SOTD with 2 beautiful ladies before going Surfing!
Soap Smoking Monsters Zen Tea
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Red Imp 132
Aftershave Ariana&Evans Kaizen Splash
A fantastic lather from the soap...nicely scented, creamy, and very slick...whip-up easily by the super soft brush, and the splash is appropriately nice!
The razor was great! The edge was previously refreshed on the 0.1 diamond balsa and today, after the Kanayama strop it was shaving beautifully...only 2 passes & it was enough for a bbs-ccs finish (rushing to catch the waves)...

The brush is the of the least 'macho' of my Rooney Finests, very soft and with no scritch at all; but it easily built excellent lather with the old soap.

Aftershave Proraso Green Splash
Very nice scented soap, that goes well with the splash...the lather is very good too...whip-up easily with the excellent brush.
Another wonderful shave with this excellent razor with a diamond balsa edge refreshed previously. After stroping on the Kanayama, the edge is soft, keen, and very comfortable in 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish and 1 red spot on the neck...

PAA Doppelganger Shaving Soap

Humphrey's Lilac Witch Hazel ,
PAA Doppelganger Aftershave Splash

I don't know what this soap and aftershave is a Doppelganger of. I purchased them a few years back. I went to the PAA site and this label is no longer offered. The Aftershave ingredients:
alcohol, lavender, hydrrosol, fragrance, aloe, vegetable glycerin, hedione and calendula.
Very good soap and aftershave in performance and scent.

The megress set on 2 with a new Lab Blue blade gave a smooth as silk result in two passes with the exception of the bottom band of the neck and it's so close I didn't need a touch-up.

I believe that is the Doppelgänger Tricolor, which was an homage to Sir Irisch Moos
