a shave for later today in preparation for a wedding this evening.

Mike's Barbershop ... Simpsons Duke 3 Best ... ATT R2 Atlas ... a fresh Polisilver Super Iridium ... probably Myrsol Agua Balsamica followed by a rare (for me lately) spritz of Annick Gotal Sables EdT

the leaves aren't in focus, but all that green reflected in the mirror is from one of the many trees here that have only just begun to turn.

The King Cobra Tour arrived in Beautiful NW Florida yesterday and I just had my 1st face & head shave with the King
today. First impressions is that this is a huge razor. It is beautifully made but not as sexy as the Cobra. I was
surprised that it is milder then the Cobra. Overall, I had a great shave and look forward to using it this week.

Pre: Village Barber oil
Cream: TOBS "Jermyn Street"
Brush: Orchid Isles 24mm Silvertip on Curly Koa handle
Razor 1: J.A. Henckels "415" (Father's razor)
Razor 2: Ikon OSS w/SE handle
Blade: Treet Platinum (1)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Village Barber balm
First pass WTG with the "415" was a little harsh. Looking at the edge under a 45x loupe shows the edge has a mild serrated appearance. Guess this one is going back to the stone to clean it up. 2 passes with the OSS cleared away the stubble without issues.
