BIRTHDAY SOTD
REVISIT
Head and Face

Timeless Titanium .95OC
Astra SP x1
Simpson's Chubby 2 Super Badger
Pereira Shavery Water Blossom
Captain's Choice Bowl
​

Revisit a old favorite for the Bday shave. Pereira Shavery Water Blossom soap. Fantastic 2 pass shave with pickup on face and head. Postshave was the extra lather and then Thayers Unscented WH. The Perrerias is still in top 4. This soap doesn't get many reviews but it is great slickness and residual slickness. Thirsty soap,

Scent is wonderful but not strong after rinsing. Light floral Fougere that lasts.

SOTD - 2019.8.24
Growth: 24h
Pre: shower
Brush: Alhambra by fm - two band finest gel.
Soap: B&M Seville
Razor: Rockwell 6S
Blade: Feather (2)
Post: face lather, alum, concoction(*), Eufros aftershave.
Passes: 2 - WTG (4), XTG (2)
Rating: 5/5 - epic

(*) witch hazle 50ml, 5ml glycerin, tea tree (10), Argan (25), bergamot (10), pachuli (5), menthol crystals - (drops)

Today I am premiering the Alhambra. My tribute to the 35th anniversary as world heritage of this fortress palace in Granada, Spain.
The brush has a radical design, with classic lines though very contemporary in its overall execution and design.
Realized as one single resin block, with unique architectural lines and 65mm height. The structure is light in appearance but solid in its structure.
The brush find its way naturally into the hand making it extremely comfortable to grip and lather. A joy to use and a joy to the eye.

Greetings from Santa Rosa, CA

Most interesting brush handle. 3-D printing, perhaps?

Or it could be a 4 axis CNC? [emoji2]
No layer lines in the resin.
