Back to burning up items that need to be gone. Both daughters and my wife have said I smell like a Christmas tree today. Probably not a combo for the end of March.

The positive side of this is the shave was fantastic. Day 4 I believe on blade. I will drop it in the 1912 tomorrow.

No red dots.

First day starting my work day from home today. Maybe a good day for this scent combo :)

Razor: Maggard open comb with thick bulldog type handle. (Probably the Parker open comb head.)
Blade: US Personna lab blue/barber (1)
Brush: Vulfix best badger (sorry, don't remember the model)
Soap: Williams
Rating: 9.5. Close, smooth, irritation-free shave. Some cheek and chin stubble 13 hours later. Overall, I'm a fan of the Parker opem comb head, and the heavy handle makes it work better than the Parker 26R handle.
