Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant week.

Tired this morning. Hate these semi-annual time changes. Wish they'd just pick one and stick with it. At this point I don't care which. :sleep:

Great shave today! Really like the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 head. A little more aggressive it seems than the Tatara and I need to be a little light with my technique. Fantastic scent and performance from the Noble Otter soap. Soap and matching splash for three passes for a DFS+ result. I finished with a spray of SpiceBomb.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Used to be a cream but is now hardened into soap-like consistency. Lovely scent with rich creamy and slick lather...
A good shave with the razor after stropping on buffalo leather. Can see and feel some improvement on the edge...awesome! Workday rush 2.5passes for an acceptable dfs/ccs finish. The aftershave was awesome & long-lasting...

Really nice scent from this soap. The lather is good too!
An enjoyable and good shave with this razor. The edge was crisp, smooth, and very comfortable after stropping on the balsa and buffalo leather. 3passes for a good dfs+/ccs result but 2 red spots from user mistake. Aftershaves were awesome.

Tobacco and vetiver are a good combo for brisk spring like weather. Used a Swaty after pass one to smooth out this blade which was a great choice.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. Went back with Phoenix Shaving's "Sun Down" soap and splash. Great lather and wonderful, "old school" scent. Three passes for a DFS+ result and I finished with a spray of Vintage Avon "Tai Winds" EdC.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
