First use of the razor. It was extremely smooth, efficient yet very mild. But it is too similar to the shaves I get with my other razors, I think, so I probably will not keep it.

Good evening Cadre! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Late post. Busy day. On call and have had three service calls today. Just tech assists for the field techs, so that's easy OT. Great shave today though. First use of the "King R. Emporium" shave soap from Phoenix Shaving. Great classic, old-school barbershop-type scent. Soap only though. Haven't been able to find the matching splash yet. Great scent and lather. Three passes and I finishe with a splash of Epsilon "Blue Mediterranean" after shave (+ skin food) and a spray of Chanel "Platinum Egoiste" EdT.

The soap lather was good enough but the scent is better and together with the matching splash...wow!!
Use this blade in the vintage razor and boy, what a good pairing. 3 easy comfortable and very efficient passes later...no blood and a dolphin smooth finish! Excellent shave today!!

Hello Cadre! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Great Old School scent with which to close out the month! This scent always reminds me of my grandfather. Lovely citrus opening which morphs to a nice leather, oakmoss, woods drydown. Damn I smell good! :cool:

Hope you have a great day. :)
