So this razor is mild to medium for me today. First pass at 3 was easy shaving with no worries about nicks. Second and clean up were at setting 5 again with no concerns or nicks. I was left with a very smooth shave that impressed with. Great razor and shave going to be a regular in rotation

SOTD - 9/26/2024

Barrister & Mann Leviathan
Razor by Rod George Designs
AP 400 Series Heavy Brass Handle with a 28mm Gelousy Badger from AP Shave Co.

From B&M:

Leviathan is the stuff of shaving legend. A musky, masculine blend of coffee, sandalwood, cedar, and the smokiest, raunchiest, leather-iest Russian leather accord I've ever smelled (which I dug from the pages of a rare perfume treatise almost a decade ago), this is the one seasonal that we could never, ever discontinue. It's primordial. Elegant. Visceral.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent Aqua Velva homage, "Sacré Bleu" shave soap. Great scent and fantastic lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Samurai" Sweet Spot badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Red Tip and I finished with Williams "Aqua Velva" aftershave splash and Czech & Speake "Frankincense & Myrrh" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)
