Straight Razor Shave #137
Pre Shave: CBL Preshave
Razor: Harvard Cutlery Co. Pearlette
Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Black & White Synthetic
Soap: Arko Shave Stick
Post Shave: Cold Water Rinse Alum Block and Thayers
After Shave: Clubman Reserve Gents Gin After Shave Lotion
Cologne: Cerruti 1881 Pour Homme EdT
Staying with the shave sticks. Today I selected the Arko. Hey if the scent doesn't bother you, this is great soap!
Easy to lather and slick! Great residual slickness. Rubbed some on my face and whipped up a great lather with the Maggard brush.
3½ passes with the Pearlette. Picked up a couple of slight weepers on my chin. Other than that BBS shave. No alum sting.
Finished with the Gents Gins and a few vasilis of the Cerruti 1881. There is a lot going on in this scent. I'm not able to pick out any individual notes today. I do like this scent. From basenotes.com:
Top Notes
Bergamot, Lemon, Clove, Basil, Tarragon, Cypress, Rosemary, Lavender, Juniper berry
Heart Notes
Ylang-ylang, Rose, Blackcurrant
Base notes
Sandalwood, Wood musk, Balsam fir, Amber
Silage is okay and longevity is good still a nice skin scent at 5 hours.
Setup 3-9-2018
Typical Friday night for me. Enjoying a Liga Privada No. 9 cigar and and Glenlivet 12 Single Malt Scotch.
