Hello friends

The goatee I got for the little domestic accident I had, has become respectable…Today I shaved with La Toja and Semogue SOC Finest, what a stupendous lather! After some time I returned to the Rockwell 6C (5) with Gillette Nacet (4). I finished with Lilac Vegetal, the King of Cat’s Pee. I started the week very well.

Together with me, Frank in the iconic Only The Lonely.

Rating: 9

Have a nice week and great shaves.

Enter, The Dragon... Hahaha. Come on. I just had to do it. The fruit was hanging too low.

If you don't know what this label is about then you're either very young or are missing the gene for liking badass martial arts movies. Either way, you're not going to want to miss out on this shaving soap.

Its scent notes are bamboo, pear, apple, orange, rosewood, sandalwood, jasmine, and musk. When I read this I was immediately interested. Some woods, some musk, and some fruits that include pear! My interest was piqued for sure!

Now that I've used it. If I had to boil this one down I'd say it's a beautifully balanced cologne type. When I say beautifully balanced I really mean it. The Dragon is a fantastic fragrance that smells like a sophisticated, sexy, modern-day cologne.

The woods, jasmine, musk and fruit notes all come together in an elegant accord. The bamboo and pear notes are really good. Then there are the jasmine and apple notes that follows. I genuinely like this fragrance and will most definitely be picking up the aftershave when I can. I'm also seriously considering the EdP as well. It's just that good!

I did a three-pass shave with my lovely Artist Club O.R.E.N. And at level three with a ProGuard blade I find it to be an efficient sweet spot for obtaining a great shave.

Seeing as I don't yet have the matching aftershave, I opted for some tried and true Lucky Tiger aftershave / face tonic. It did a nice job of soothing my skin, capping off this training session. I mean shave.

I entered the dojo, trained with a sharp tool then walked out a better man.

Take care my my friend and enjoy your shaves.

A very good lather and scent from this soap & matching splash.
Today's shave with this razor was so much better. The edge was put through another round of HBA and finished on the full diamond balsa progression again. Smoother and definitely keener in 3 passes for a bbs-dfs result...

Greetings,

Early morning Shave,

A relaxing early morning cold water face & head shave...

I've went for a menthol themed shave today the Proraso gave cooling kick for both my face & head sensors.

The Gillette Guard on it's 5th and final outing still performed well feeling smooth & efficient enough resulting in another smooth acceptable head shave.

A enjoyable early comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

My face & head are feeling cool & smooth.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
