Here are my Thu. Fri. Saturday night Shaves wit the NEW PAA DOC 'ASCENSION' - This one is a aluminum razor with a Ball Tip (just like Gillette Tech's but fatter). I have the PAA DOC. The Cheap Chinese Yaqi DOC (typical China made product that is a rip off of American made products / that is what china does best, rip off American products). Now I understand the DOC is copy of a old and very hard to find Safety Razor but PAA was the first to resurrect the ingenious Double Open Comb design. 1st Yaqi, than RazoRock decided to do there own DOC's. Well PAA now has the ultimate DOC! IMHO this is the best.. The price is really good, there is NO overhang - long cap, and yes you can adjust the aggression, its not a numbered adjustable - but its a simple adjustable. you get a 1/4 play to adjust the aggression - so if it is really tight its mild - if its slightly snug enuff where it wont move than its more aggressive. I love this razor! such a ez and efficient bbs, also its Aluminum & I personally like and enjoy a lighter razor - yes a heavy solid stainless steal razor is cool and manly , but I don't really need that extra weight.

here are the last 3 night shaves --->
Thursday night -->


Friday night -->



Saturday Night -->

I read that the "wild boar" population has exploded and is out of control. Is it open season for hunting them? I really hope so … Also, I read and see that it is really difficult to kill one, the bullets will bounce off there skulls? I know when I helped slaughter farm pigs with my grandfather we had to pin them down on a bench and "stick" there throat with a big ol' blade... The domestic pig is a tough customer - I cant imagine how mean and strong a wild boar is!

Jamie the Banana is so good it is also my son's favorite. I bought him his own cube, star jelly and soap. I even threw in the T shirt for fun. The scent is dead on and the slickness is outstanding. BTW I did the same when we left Disney - I actually have a box of soaps myself! Peace buddy.

There is no season on them. You just need a Hunting License. They are tough, but with good shot placement, they are not too hard to put down. ........and most of them taste great too!

That's from Yesterday:


Pre: nothing
machine: Timeless scalloped 0.68 + Astra green
Brush: BSB2 Silvertip
cream: Musgo real Lime Basil
splash: B&M Seville (almost to be finished)
EdP: APR Fresca, not included in the picture

I heard a lot from this brand (being a portuguese brand makes it quite common in spanishs shaves) and it works pretty well, indeed. But the scent I was expecting from the name was a bit different. I got more basil, while I was thinking on a summer scented cream. Nice, too, but I don't know why, I was expecting something menthol-vitamined and more summery

Regarding the razor head, I almost went to doublecheck if there was a blade inside. That's a smooth crafted stuff!!!

The post and EdP were chosen thinking in a more citrus-summerry scented cream, but any way, they made a great job.
