Beautiful shave, Lantsman! Stay warm!Saturday morning:
Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 6
RVT Roseline SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Brut Attraction Totale AS Splash
My good friend Mohamed Peer in Durban, South Africa has a company called River Valley Trading and they sell a lot of excellent shaving soaps that are made by a woman who prefers not to use tallow. These soaps are all vegan based, this Roseline has a VERY similar scent to the discontinued Williams stick that was produced in South Africa, it lathers great, although it’s not a particularly slick soap it still leaves a pretty comfortable postshave feeling that the Lubriderm moisturizer enhances. The Attraction Totale aftershave smells very nice, and after the initial two second sting it feels very soothing. I only did two passes but I ended up BBS - this was an awesome, enjoyable shave. I’ll stay in today - winter came back here.
Be well and stay safe - have a good day.

Nice shave, Akhi. Is that a synthetic or boar?
Happy Saturday!

Thank you Akhi!. It's a boar. The knot was harvested from an Omega 10005. It's as good a brush as I've ever used. That said, at some point I will l have the knot replaced with a synthetic. Likely the Muhle STF 25. Happy Pi Day!

### Notes
My Rockwell 6s gives such a smooth shave. I used a KAI (3) blade on R2. It removed 2 days of growth the a hot knife through butter.
Subtle Art Soap Co's Mid Cape Barber whipped into a very thick, slick, cushy lather that did it's job at making this shave superb. Not to mention the scent is phenomenal.
**Overall:** ★★★★★ (Epic Shave!)
**Smoothness:** ★★★★★ (BBS Perfection)
**Irritation:** ★☆☆☆☆ (Zero Burn)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Late post but a great shave to start the day. Nothing exciting about today's shave, just a collection of great products which together provided excellent results. Great scent and lather from the Stirling "Executive Man" shave soap, built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & vintage Avon "Öland" aftershave splash. Zero feedback from the alum.
BBS bliss!!
Hope you have a great day.
