Eight shave with B&M Leviathan. Using the Uomo da Vinci 293 Silvertip brush today. I have two da Vinci brushes: the 290 and 293. The only difference is the size. These brushes are wonderful performers. They have no problem making wonderful lather and feel great on the face. The lather once again was good: very rich. The Henson / RK combination worked fine for the 4th shave. Have a good one, folks.

I'm still rockin' the Bengall and the Ti Efficient for this awesome Sunday shave. I'm getting better with the straight in both my right and left hands while the Ti E. comes in for the win.

I decided to pull out the Phoenix Shaving Atomic Pumpkin my good buddy sent me. What can I say but, damn this stuff is good! It's like a boozy pumpkin without being too obnoxiously boozy. It's a perfect balance.

I did a four-pass shave and ended up with a very nice bbs face. I topped it all off with some Phoenix Shaving Tombstone aftershave. This one's a little hard to describe but I'll say that the I really like dry-down of it.

Happy Sunday everyone. Enjoy your shave.

I'm late to the party for the "Where I'm From" week, but here it is!

I'll go from the closest from me to the farther from me in my country, which is Canada.

Frist, the metal piece in the picture is a titanium "scooper" I made my self with a friend. I use the larger side for tub and the narrower part for sample.

Next, the Gilette Goodwill Made in Canada in the 1930's. Turns out that the factory for these razors was in Montreal at less then 30km (18 miles) from where I live. That's the only vintage razor I have and I have it only because it was made really close from where I live.

Third, Henry & Victoria Terre d'Henri. Henry and victoria are a bit far from me with a 250km (150miles) trip if I want to get there. It's the only soap I have from them since their soap formula wasn't the best for me. Apparently, the newest one is a lot better but haven't tried it yet.

Forth, Maol Grooming with the "Okuma" scent. Although it's quite far from me with a trip of 740km (444miles), it's still in Canada. I freaking love Maol Grooming aftershave. They are amongst the best that I have ever used...


I've tried to use the remaining product the closest I've known from canada...

So, I choosed the Personna Made I USA as blade on a second shave with it and the Signature Shaving Brush from Blackland.

Awesome shave. Haven't used thaf razod in a minute and im3glad thst thread helped me to picked it up again.

Have a nice one!
