Soap & Aftershave Ariana & Evans Peach & Cognac
Brush BOTI 26mm Fan Silvertip
Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
The soap's lather and scent are good. The brush is a joy to use.
This razor was put through the HBA around 200 laps with just water. The edge is ok..smooth and keen enough but wanted it to be better. Overall a dfs+ finish after 3passes...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant weekend.
Great shave this morning! Skipped yesterday so today's shave was especially nice. The "muggies" are returning, along with temps in the mid and upper 80's so I went with a nice, refreshing citrus theme today. Grabbed the tub of TOBS "Grapefruit" shave cream but before building the lather I used the PAA mentholated Cube preshave soap for a nice, icy kick. Great lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Canyon" ST for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Tatara Masamune and I finished with a splash of ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Nuage De Citron" skin food splash and several sprays of Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.
Hope you have a great day.

'Fairy Tales' by Hans Christian Anderson was first published on this date in 1835
Rooney 1/2 Horn Finest (24/50)
Crabtree & Evelyn Sweet Almond Oil shaving cream (vintage)
Schick Krona
Iridium Super (2)
Ginger's Garden Almond aftershave
The Krona is my concession to 'character.' I have better razors, but I am not looking for a mythical perfect shave. If I wanted the 'best' shave, I would just have one razor, one soap, and one aftershave. For me this morning shaving ritual is an exploration, in which the journey, the experience, is more important than the destination. If I had a garage full of cars, I would want one of them to be a '53 MG TD. It would not be the fastest of the cars, but it certainly would have as much character as any of the others.
