Soap: SW Carpathia
AS: Witchhazel
Shave: 9.9/10
Fabulous shave. Only lacking a 10 because I haven’t found a great AS to matchup with the Carpathia soap.
Broke out a bit so had to go easy on this shave, hand lathered a bit of Lucky cream and did a 1 pass wtg shave. Had to go back and touch up a few missed spots, but we got it done. I think this will be the last shave on this bkade,
Lucky ztiger, colonial, kai milds
Thanks!

I bought this set from a forum member several weeks ago and decided it would be my birthday present to myself. It was worth the wait!
I'll bet you have an outstanding shave!!! I was impressed with the scent off the tub, then I lathered it.. and then the splash finish was just fireworks!
I prefer my M7's over the Chubby nowadays but will pull one out before the end of the week for the Simpson SOTD theme week!
Happy Birthday

Second shave with this vintage Soviet, loaded with a the same BIC. After the beard shave I tossed the BIC. It lacked sharpness. Must be my coarse hair. The Nacet took over and produced a nice, clean shave.
I use the Cryogen on hot days. This must be the ultimate mentholhead soap. It drives tears from your eyes once lathered. I love it.

My technique needs work/experience with this razor, but still very smooth results.

Happy birthday!
I decided to stick with two of my favourite razors today; one of my vintage Gillette Flat Bottom Techs and my Ikon B1 Standard.
I used Proraso red cream instead of the TOBS Sandlewood I have been using recently. With a silicone pet food bowl and my Evil Zebra brush dripping with hot water a bowl full of slick lather took about 15 seconds.
The shave started off a bit rough with the Tech and an Astra SP on its 3rd(?) outing, so I popped in a fresh Astra and that transformed it. Two passes and a final ATG with the B1 and I have BBS.
I won't deduct anything for the blade swap as that's how I measure when it's time for a new blade (rather than counting uses). I'm now sat in the pub marvelling at how smooth my face feels
. 10/10.

Thank you, sir!
I'll paste the official scent profile below for you. I'm about the worst at diagnosing a fragrance. I just know what I like and what I don't. It's masculine without being overbearing. It's fresh, not sweet. For me, leans slightly towards a cologne type scent. Even thought it has citrus as the opening scent listed below, I don't really think of citrus when I first smell it, although that's definitely what gives it freshness. But again, I'm not good at this at all.
Scent Profile: Citrus (Lemon, Bergamot & Mandarin Orange), White Musk, Jamaican Ginger, White Pepper, Haitian Vetiver, Hiba Wood, Honey Amber, Black Sage, Peppermint, Jerusalem Pine
Happy birthday.
