Mon 27 SOTD
Soap PAA Cavendish
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor RazoRock G37 Slant
Blade Shark Super Stainless 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + PAA Cavendish Splash.
My number 1 soap! Really love this particular pipe-tobacco scent and the lather is top-notch too...very rich, creamy, and super slick...
A very good shave with this razor paired with the blade. Very easy, smooth, and comfortable 3passes for a bbs finish.
Would have been perfect except a bump was loped off...dang! The matching aftershave was just excellent!!

Good afternoon gentlemen!

Wanted to make a quick post so you'd know that I'm hangin' in here. Boy, this has NOT been a fun week! Guys, do everything you can to dodge this stuff. I'm feeling maybe 75% back but still very little improvement in my sense of taste and smell. Don't get me wrong, it has improved, but only a little. I can mostly just detect "hints" of scents and flavors, like a distant echo of how things should smell and taste. Single note scents and flavors seem easier to detect than conglomerates and that's why I chose the items for today's shave. I can detect the peppermint in the Nancy Boy cream but basically nothing else. Still, that's something! LOL!

Anyway, stay safe. Stay healthy. :)

Tue 28 SOTD
Soap Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic
Brush DS Cosmetics 26mm Silvertip
Razor Parker SemiSlant
Blade Vintage Polsilver Super Stainless 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic Splash
Very nice boozy-like scent from this soap. The lather is of cors very creamy and slick too...one of my Stirling favs...
A great shave with the SemiSlant paired with this excellent blade. Super smooth, crisp, and comfortable in 3passes without any issues for a dolphin smooth finish. Matching aftershaves were awesome!

Very nice! Do you find this razor style to be a little difficult to hold, like the tang is almost too thin to get a great grip on?
