Super nice soap & splash for the aromatic scent and a creamy slick lather...whip-up by the excellent soft boar brush...
I am just partial to old heavier grind razors...and this heavyweight is a softy despite the look. The edge is excellent after putting it through the buffalo leather...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Took the new Tech for a spin and was blown away by the shave I got. Two passes would have sufficed (but I did three). Excellent and very enjoyable session with very slick and fragrant lather for the PAA "Irish Springs" soap. Minimal feedback from the alum block and I finished with the matching splash (+skin food) and a spray of Creed "Bois du Portugal".

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

The old C&E cream is IMHO the best sandalwood cream ever made. A pea-sized dab of it makes bountiful, great-smelling lather.

Razor: LASSC BBS-1
Blade: Wilkinson Light Brigade (4).


This is my first shave with the LASSC BBS-1. I am now ruined; this razor (my grail razor) is the epitome of shaving excellence and lives up to the hype. My other razors are about to get very lonely...
