PARADIGM/POLSILVER :: DORIAN :: SAPONIFICIO VARESINO
Another great shave from the Paradigm. Two passes did the job. The Dorian brush is gorgeous and the ergonomics are outstanding. The knot has ample backbone and good flow, though after two or three lathers still feels a bit rough. There are very dark hairs distributed throughout the knot so it may not soften much, only time will tell. ​

Gillette Platinum (5)
Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Splash

After writing off this brush, but being stubborn and using despite myself, this thing has come into it's own. Now I've totally come around on it. So much so that I'm really liking the boars. Who would have thought? Also, look at that gorgeous splay!

Jamie's morning shave.

I am a night shaver but today my youngest daughter Gabby had her 1st Communion so I had to look & smell like a million bucks. last night I used the mega aggressive Pearl Open Comb TTO, so all I needed was a quick cleanup this morning and the Schick Xtreme 3 and Barbosal yellow performed wonderful! The Dutch aftershave Reuzel was used and I am liking it! It feels so slick and has a fresh, clean and mellow scent, the perfect pairing with TABAC cologne - I will be using this combo again...
