Hello friends

This Saturday started out looking like it was going to be a perfect day; so I put together my favorite set up: soap, shaver, blade, brush, aftershave, EdT and even music. MdC Fougère, Green Cult 2.0 baseplate IV, Gillette Nacet (3), Omega Jade, Brut, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and…John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman. Friends, at the time of my death, I will remember today and smile.

Rating: 10

Have a nice weekend and great shaves.

Leaf razor loaded with KCG blade.
Simpson T3 brush.
Løthur Oregon soap and splash.
Nivea sensitive balm.

Super satisfying Saturday scrape. Two recent purchases, the vintage razor and the soap set, all pre loved. Performance was superb all round, and I absolutely love the scent on this soap and splash. So much so that I bought another splash for work. Super smooth noggin and face.
Happy Shaving

Razor: P.A.A. Ascension SELECT Twist
Blade: Gillette Nacet Stainless (d3)

Soap: Grooming Dept. L'Avventura
Brush: Yaqi Purple Haze 24mm
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Post 1: P.A.A. Alum w/ No-Slip Grip System & Dry Dock System
Post 2: Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent w/ Menthol &Eucalyptus
Aftershave: Grooming Dept. L'Avventura

After waiting patiently for a long time to get ahold of a matching bottle of aftershave, the time has finally come.

I present to you L'Avventura by Grooming Dept. It's a complex aroma of citrus, florals, resin, and saffron on a woody base.

I find this fragrance to be quite lovely and if you're curious the exact notes are lime, grapefruit, high-elevation lavender, galbanum, saffron, resin accord, texas cedarwood, oakmoss, birch tar, and patchouli. As you can see it's beautifully elaborate. I have to say it's executed very well also.

The soap base is the Kairos formulation and if you've ever used it before then you know just how good this soap base really is. This is an outstanding soap for wet shaving!

I whipped up some creamy, dense lather and did a three-pass shave. With the Ascension Select and this soap, I enjoyed every minute I had with them both.

I had a fantastic shave with the gear I chose today and ended this therapy session with some of the matching aftershave I waited so long for.

It was worth the wait. Grooming Dept. makes the most amazing products and this aftershave was no different. It has the most amazing ingredients including green tea extract, black algae extract, watermelon extract, and wakame extract just to name a few.

The fragrance and post-shave feel are both excellent in my opinion. I genuinely wish I had more Grooming Dept. gear in my wet-shaving arsenal.

Alright, my friends. That's it for today. Take care and enjoy your shaves.
