How do you like the PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum? Does the Oak Barrel aging mellow out the scent? Read where they don't use cloves how does this effect the scent? Curious because I am a Bay Rum fanatic...

Thursday shave

Prep: PAA Ice Cube 2.0
Soap: Deluxe Rockers
Brush: Omega 10290 boar
Razor: RazoRock German 37 on RR bulldog handle, #8
Blade: Derby Extra, #1
Post: alum -> Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods aftershave

The Derby was a huge surprise. I used one years ago (IIRC) and had no luck with it and I was expecting it to be useless. But in the G37 it was great. An easy, comfortable two-pass DFS with zero feedback. That plus the Rockers and the Omega equaled an excellent shave tonight.

Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget 22/48
Cream: La Toja Classic
Razor: Yuma YM-403
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (5)
ASL: La Toja Classic

Another fine shave.

I think a change is needed; I'm getting too comfortable with the current setup.
But hey! That was my 40th shave with the Mixed Scritchet. I do think the scritch has reduced some. So next shave I'll bring the wonderful Semogue Mistura back into the team, and that'll let me know if the Midget's scritch reduction was real...
or just in my mind.


Happy shaves guys.

Great shave today but I really do not like Eskimo Tuxedo. It has way too much menthol for me.

Anything with Eskimo in the name automatically makes me think cold, wind driven, frostbite, and menthol to the Nth degree...

Ha ! BOSC+ and you're wondering if it is in your mind... Good one Cal I see what you did there !

I really like it. Smooth and last a long time on me. Worth the price of admission.

Soap Van Yulay Puros La Habana
Brush BOTI 26mm Fan Silvertip
Razor Fatip OC Slant
Blade Russian Astra Superior Stainless 4th
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel BayRum + Hyaluronic + Clubman Whiskey Woods
Nice cigarish scent from the soap but lather quality was just ok. Slick enough for the task.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good again...reasonably smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were awesome, interestingly the witch hazel bayrum scent absolutely overpowers the whiskey woods.
