Soap & Aftershave LaToja Stick & Old Spice
Brush Yaqi 24mm Red Marble
Razor Shave 4U 5 Blades
Super slick lather from this soap!
I decided to shave with this razor used before discovering DEs, SRs & Soaps...the old usual 1 pass atg...acceptable results but not enjoyable, fast though...

Let's open the books on this shave:
Preshave - Hot Shower
Razor - Vikings Blade The Cheiftain Odin
Bowl/brush/Trifecta - Van Yulay Honeycomb/Italian Flag Colors/Zephyrus
From the Van Yulay's website: Shaving Soap Scent: Orange, lemon, bergamot, jasmine, geranium, lavender, and more. A touch of musk. Compared to Pinaud Type Cologne.
From Vikings Blade website: Medium aggression, a perfect all-rounder regardless of your experience level
Premium high-end heavy duty Swedish materials & superb quality control
VanYulay's tribute to the timeless classic, Clubman Pinaud, is a nostalgic journey back to the vintage charm of my great grandfather's barbershop in Bayside. Monica beautifully encapsulates Clubman's essence with Zephyrus, evoking the invigorating spirit of the western wind. The lather experience is pure delight, boasting ample slickness for a smooth shave.
While VB describes Odin as medium aggression, its performance leans towards the higher end, offering a satisfyingly close shave, ranking around an 8 on the intensity scale. With just two passes, it effortlessly whisked me away on the shave train, bypassing mundane routines and immersing me directly into ABSville.
Opting for the mentholated splash was an exhilarating choice—it creeps up on you before delivering a refreshing punch that leaves you saying WOW! And to complete the trifecta, the addition of the EdP adds an extra layer of luxury to the experience.
In summary, VanYulay's homage to Clubman Pinaud delivers an exceptional shave that not only honors tradition but also elevates it to new heights of indulgence.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Rushed morning. Overslept. Still trying to get used to this time change. Great shave though. Fantastic scent and excellent lather from the C.O. Bigelow shave cream built with the QED Select Manchurian badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Supply SE and I finished with Chanel "Bleu de Chanel" aftershave balm & parfum.

Shower, shave, dress, coffee & out the door.. No time for a pic. Will try to take one when I go home for lunch.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Nice simple image. Maybe a tad too much dead space. Needs a tighter crop. :p

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Much better start this morning. Well, except for the tornadic weather we had earlier. Luckily, the worst of it was northeast of me. My area just a lot of wind and rain. Also some pretty gnarly lightning.

In need of a lime fix this morning so I grabbed the Geo. F. Trumper "Limes" cream and skin food. Fantastic scent and super slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Canyon" ST badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Timeless TRBR38 and I finished with the aforementioned matching skin food & Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
