Great 3 Pass face BBS. The Barbasol Floating Head shaved smoothly, but not as efficiently as I would like. My R41 and Colonial Silversmith are both much more efficient allowing a 2 pass BBS. The Cryogen AS had me holding the side of the sink after applying it as clouds of incredibly strong menthol kept my eyes watering for 10-15 minutes afterwards! Wow!! I’ve got to get the matching soap puck!

SOTD and Review, 22 November 2019

First shave with my newly delivered Fine Marvel Razor and a new Voskhod blade today, and I will definitely affirm all reports of this razor's efficiency. No doubt it's on the milder side, though I wouldn't claim the title "mild" but rather I think "medium" might be better. The blade gap is large at 0.95 mm (which apart from the interesting design is the main reason I wanted to try this out) but you'd never know the gap was that large given how easy it is to shave with. Absolutely no issues finding the right angle (as you might expect looking at the razor head given its characteristics). On a crisp, crystal clear 22F morning, Murphy and McNeil's Bád Mór - their bay rum - was calling my name, so that's the soap I went with today. Very very nice shave.

Preshave: hot shower & hot towel
Razor: Fine Accoutrements Marvel
Blade: Voskhod (#1)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
Soap: Murphy & McNeil Bád Mór
Aftershave: Murphy & McNeil Bád Mór

3 beautiful shaves in a row w my first PolSilver. I like this blade!!
Merkur Futur 3 pass shave settings 3,4,5 - I seem to like the more aggressive settings. Still haven’t tried 6 yet.
First time using Le Piment de la Vie. Really nice, complex scent.
Last but not least...I’m an Aqua Vela man again. Thanks to @Marco and his many posts about this product, I bought a bottle of the Spanish AV. Got it last night. Couldn’t wait.

Sir, the Spanish Aqua Velva is one of the best traditional splashes on the market. And its beautiful vintage-like bottle is simply gorgeous to look at. Congrats on the purchase!
