Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Great shave this morning. Skipped yesterday so today's shave was extra nice. New soap day too. Fantastic scent and lather from the Master Soap Creations's "Vintage Lapidus" Shave Soap. Two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with a splash of the matching AS and spray of Lapidus Pour Homme.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Nice soap for good lather and scent qualities augmented by the matching splash.
The shave with this razor paired with the blade was very audible on each of the 3 passes. Smooth enough for a bbs-dfs finish...

Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Joseph Rodgers 5/8
Good enough lather, lightly scented & cooling from this soap.
I missed using a straight razor very much. I'm glad I brought this razor on my work travel as a standby. Today, have more time, so able to enjoy the SR. This razor went through the full diamond pasted balsa progression and is definitely crispier...while remaining smooth & comfortable. 3 enjoyable passes for a bbs-ccs finish...
