365 Shaves in 2023: 144 of 146 = 98.6%
Clubman Friday
Modern May 2023
Razor: Colonial Razors The General V2 (@Rosseforp GTC 25g Handle)
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG (8)
Brush: @Rudy Vey 2022 B&B Contributors Brush (Mühle 25mm STF knot)
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Lather: WSP Formula T Tobacco
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
Fragrance: Belcam Bold Tobacco EdT Spray
With the addition of the Wolfman Ti WR2 1.25 SB and the Lambda Athena to my Den, I've been thinking about where the Colonial Razors The General V2 fits into the grand scheme of things. Loaded a Kai Protouch MG blade and attached the @Rosseforp GTC 25g handle. Whipped up an awesome lather with WSP Formula T Tobacco (an excellent Tallow based soap) using the Rudy Vey 2022 B&B Contributors Brush and the Captain's Choice Copper Bowl, and commenced with my shave. Used my standard 3-Pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) plus touch-ups. Results were truly top tier. There is something about shaving with an AC blade razor, where the handle bisects the blade and forms a "T", that really works for me - face, skin and beard. Buttery smooth shave. Smooth face. No blood or irritation. Pure shaving pleasure! The only modern razor in my Den to clearly edge out The General V2 is the Ti Vector.
VIBR Aftershave rounded things out. Sprayed on Belcam Bold Tobacco EdT before heading out for cigars.
Superb DFS+++ shave!
