Friday shave

187C7EA8-751B-4368-84EE-EBC7884F4E6F.jpeg


Prep: Cleansing Story White Clay Deep Cleansing Foam
Soap: Noble Otter Firefighter
Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor mixed badger/boar
Razor: iKon X3 slant on bulldog handle, #10
Blade: Gillette Nacet, #2
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> Noble Otter Firefighter aftershave

A quick two-pass DFS shave with minimal feedback. First use of the Firefighter and it was excellent. My puck leans towards the cedar scent, but it's the aftershave that's out of this world and where the scent really comes together with all of its elements (grapefruit, lavender, red cedarwood, etc.). Usual great NO performance to both the soap and aftershave.


Saturday shave

Prep: Curology The Cleanser
Soap: Deluxe Rockers
Brush: Ever-Ready F40 badger-cased boar
Razor: iKon X3 slant on bulldog handle, #11
Blade: Gillette Nacet, #3 and binned
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla

First time with the Deluxe Rockers and I had a fantastic shave–slick, thick, and cushioned. It was going so well, I added a third-pass to attempt a BBS. Didn't quite get there all over, but it was very close and comfortable with minimal feedback from the alum (especially considering I rarely do a third pass). I really enjoyed the scent of the soap--reminded me of Midnight Stag, which I also like, so I wasn't surprised when my wife's take was "Innertube." :facep:The Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla was a good match. For someone's who's not ordinarily a fan of vanilla, I can't believe how much I like this stuff. Easily my favorite of the Pinaud Clubman line and I'll be getting a large bottle and keeping it in the den permanently once this sample is done.
