Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum (7)
Post shave: frigid tap water, BOSS Bottled AS
Fragrance: BOSS Bottled EDT.

Evening shave today. Didn’t manage to dial in the MWF properly at first (left too much water in the knot subsequent to soaking the Mistura), but managed to get a decent lather finally. Three smooth passes, almost bbs on the face and the neck.

Have some great shaves, y'all!

A lovely shave.

The Postman delivered a new-to-me shaving cream today, so of course I had to use it!

I was highly impressed with the LEA Mentholated Cream that Rave @Raven Koenes subliminally enabled for me, so much so that I decided to try another Spanish Cream to see if they're all that good... enter La Toja.

La Toja Classic Cream has an unusual scent but it's a fabulous performer, I'm very pleased with my (inexpensive) purchase. I remember someone describing the scent as "laundry blowing in a sea breeze" and I'd say that was fairly accurate. Not knowing what ASL would go with it, I purposely left the bathroom ASLless in order to choose a "best match" after the shave.

Halfway through the shave I knew the ASL would be Clubman "Whiskey Woods" with its (to me) "Pledge Furniture Polish" scent. A great match!

All the hardware continues to do a great job. I'm really getting to love my Mixed Midget... I don't know if it's starting to lose some of its scritch, or if I'm just getting used to it.


Happy shaves guys.

Soap Stone Cottage Hesperide
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Tuxedo
Razor Yaqi AC Brass
Blade Feather ProGuard 16th Use
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
A really nice hard puck of soap. Very easy to lather, nice musky scent, quite creamy and good slickness too...
Shave with razor paired with the well-used blade was still good, still very smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues resulting in a mostly bbs finish. Good aftershaves. A very enjoyable session.
