Growth: 24h
Brush: ŌKU Alhambra by P&P - 26mm manchurian extra density
Soap: Lignvm by JabonMan
Razor: Gillette aristocrat
Blade: Gillette green
Post: lather face wash, alum, concoction (*), PAA mysterium serum

(*) witch hazle 50ml, 5ml glycerin, tea tree (10), Argan (25), bergamot (10), pachuli (5), Cocunut oil + CBD (5), menthol crystals - (drops)

A wonderful shave with this new creation from JabonMan. It’s base has to be within the best I have tried though it’s scent profile doesn’t really connect with me. The soap lathers up beautifully, super slick with a second to none residual slickness.

Tuesday DECember 10

Going for a straight razor shave today.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Alpha Outlaw Titanium
Strop - Heirloom/Tony Miller Spanish Bridal
Blade - GEM SE SS (2)
Razor1 - RigaRazor Mappin Lancet replica
Razor2 - TNNSER 3D
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Clubman Whiskey Woods A/S

Shave rating 5 of 5

One of my favorite straight razors is the Mappin Lancet Edge razor. It took me a long time to find one and an even longer time to find one in good condition. While I was looking, I decided to ask Sergej from RigaRazor to make me a replica. Sergej did a beautiful job. This is a big 9/8 razor. Did my first pass WTG with the RigaRazor Lancet. Did my second pass XTG with my TNNSER 3D and the result was a nice BBS shave. I re-opened 1 weeper with the RigaRazor and re-opened another with the TNNSER 3D (disappointing). The Tabac lather was nice and thick but seemed a little dry. The Alpha Outlaw brush is one of my favorites. The alum was vocal on both sides of my neck. Finished up with the Whiskey Woods - great scent!

Happy DECember and great shaves everyone.

​

First shave with my new Black Ship Grooming "The 32 Pounder" plain brass DE razor was a success. Would I buy it again? No. not after the time it took too pollish out the rough edges on the base plate left by the casting process. Wet/dry #600 grit sandpaper did the trick.
The resulting shave was smooth and efficient -- BBS in two passes, WTG and ATG. The handle is heavier than I’m used to, but the razor was well balanced and easy to maneuver.
