AoS Unscented~~Simpson Emperor 3~~2011 Mühle R41/Voskhod~~Michael for Men
Today's shave comes after a 3-day, thought I may have Covid-19, got tested and came back negative (), turns out to be bronchitis, no-shaving.
The Art of Shaving (Valobra) really knocked it outta the park, with the able assistance of the Simpson Emperor.
The tallow-rich soap is as slick as today's artisan creations, but being a true, triple-milled soap,
doesn't suffer from a limited shelf-life.
Take a gander:

Next to my straight razors, nothing, but nothing wipes away 3 days growth better
than my 2011 Mühle R41. I eschew the Mühle stock handles, because, frankly, they are too slippery
and, imo, dangerous. You can see I use a Weber Bulldog (fantastic handle).
First pass and 99% of the growth is gone. Because I had this much growth, I am letting the goatee grow.
Second pass was an ATG and shaping the goat.
No missteps, no nicks or cuts.
My post-shave routine has settled into the following:
1) Thayer's Witch Hazel.
2) An unscented ASB, today was the very lightly-scented Thayer's ASB.
Disclaimer: I rarely use aftershaves these days, opting instead for a cologne or EdT.
Today, is really my signature scent:

This is a terrific tobacco scent, but get tonic bean out of your thoughts.
This is not Aramis Tobacco Reserve, nor any other "pipe tobacco" scent.
It's bright and fruity and the dry down is stunning.
Sadly, this juice was discontinued, but never fear,
Primo has two full bottles as back up.​

Negative test. Great news!

A gorgeous kinda sweetish cigarish scent from the soap. The lather was good too...creamy and slick!
This shave with the razor and blade combo was very comfy. Smooth and efficient in 3passes for a bbs finish without any issues. The matching aftershave balm was awesome!

Super duper awesome Tabac! So rich so creamy and so slick...with a nice scent too!
This shave with my oldest razor (need to fiddle some to align the blade) paired with the blade was excellent! Very smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs finish. The aftershaves were terrific as well.
