Guilty as charged LOL
The mid-week shave! Though really it was Victoria Day here in Canada so we have only four work days this week. Happy Hump Day!
I have been on a fine run of A’crats lately and though the 34G isn’t an A’crat it is a golden beauty nonetheless. Today’s razor of choice the Gillette Aristocrat Junior made in England. This flat bottom beauty is weighty and in quite minty condition. Fantastic shaver! There is just so much quality in the feel of this razor. Not as fancy as it’s other siblings but it is quality throughout. Loaded up with a fresh Gillette Platinum.
Soap of the day Artisan Soaps Leather. I am just amazed at how wonderful this leather scent is. It’s addictive! I could live in this tub! Sad but true! Great soap period.
Lovely three pass shave and BBS achieved. Just had to linger and enjoy the scent! Topped it off with some English Leather AS and John Varvatos Dark Rebel...a leather extravaganza! So good! Enjoy the sun, your day and your shaves! Stay safe!

I noticed your frag did not come with the leather jacket, or did it?
Nope that would be the Dark Rebel Rider that comes with the biker jacket...
I don't know enough about that soap to recommend not living in the tub. Just try to keep it out of your ears!
Mi Hermano! It smells glorious!
Ears deep it is! Call 911 should you feel the need!
Thought you'd like that one @Dave in KY !!
Glad you are enjoying it. I have one in a different scent that I use and love it. It's a very unknown brand, but performs amazing.
Should have grabbed that "Shave and Haircut" from you. Oh well, I am set anyway. Thanks KJ it is a real winner!
