Either you use enormous amounts of Clubman post shave or I am looking at two differently timed photos

Very nice shaving bowl but the way. That’s not wood right? Porcelain or ceramic?

Enjoy!

Thank you, my friend. Hope you also have a great weekend.

This photo was taken a few days ago:

This photo was taken yesterday:

I usually use the same aftershave for a week (or so) - hence the different level in the bottle.

 

[Guido75]

Still quite a feat David seeing the difference in levels - even if it is a week!

Anyway - Clubman is a classic. I am feeling very tempted to dive into The Veg. Have to start somewhere right.

Any news on the Athena? Mine shipped yesterday. I am expecting it next week.

Cheers,

Guido

The lighting is also weird on yesterday's photo. The difference in level is not as huge as it appears to be.

My Athena is with USA Customs as we speak.

Ah! I now see what you mean! Haha!

Ok cool! We might be getting the Greek Goddess simultaneously!

My Athena made it to the States as well and is also waiting to clear US Customs.

Keeping my fingers (and everything else) crossed that we all clear customs quickly.

365 Shaves in 2023: 117 of 119 = 98.3%
Modern May 2023

Razor: @Blackland Razors Ti Vector SB (@Rosseforp GTC 25G Handle)
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG (4)

Brush: Wild West Brushworks Volcanic Ash (TNS 26mm Original BOSS Fan)

Lather: Canada Shave Soap
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Lilac Vegetal

Fragrance: Belcam Volatile EdT Spray

Was planning on two days of "tune-up" shaves on 5/1 and 5/2 with the Blackland Razors Ti Vector SB to level set prior to diving in with the Wolfman Ti WR2 1.25 SB. Should have not started thinking about the Ti Vector - it was too much to resist. The Ti Vector SB is definitely my razor. Pure, unadulterated shaving pleasure!
So.....Modern May 2023 got kick started a bit early. I'll use the Ti Vector again on Sunday and then dive in with the Wolfman Ti WR2 1.25 SB. Or...I might (still noodling on this) sneak in a Ti Blackbird SB shave before the Wolfie. Haven't decided.

The rest of the kit is stuff I use all the time. Plenty of notes throughout my Journal. Outstanding kit!

Superb DFS++ shave!

The Athena cleared Customs!

Looks like we will have a Ti Blackbird, Ti Wolfman and Athena comparison for Modern May 2023!

Very interesting. I have my eye on the Ares V.2. looking forward to your thoughts on all those. Good job on sticking with vintage for 28 of 30 days in April. That's a lot more than I could do.

That's my Shaving ADD in action.

My thoughts regarding the Blackland Razors Ti Blackbird SB are well documented. The Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum blades match the Ti Blackbird beautifully. The Ti Blackbird SB is my long-standing Alpha Big Dog DE Razor!

The rest of the kit is stuff I use all the time. Plenty of notes throughout my Journal. Outstanding kit!

Been using it since I started wet shaving.

I’ve noticed it in quite a few of your shave of the day pic’s

I like the Pinaud Clubman aftershaves in general.
