I'm glad you found the Racer blades good and got on well with them.



It would be funny each of us from an opposite side of the ocean and use both of us the same photograph just changing the articles of the daily shave

Jamie's Night Shave
1. hot shower, Palmolive bar. soap and PAA CaD Shampoo puck.
2. PAA CaD pre shave soap and lather booster.
3. Crown King Black Bot, tribute to Black belt vintage aftershave.
4. semogue 820 with a FINE bowl.
5. PAA PRISMATIC D.E. Razor with a sharp star blade on 2nd shave.
6. Alum block / crown king black bot aftershave followed by the black bot balm.

Like your artful design of this vertical layout, Jamie. Neat replication of the Crown King image which, by extention IMHO, gives your pic a 50's SF, Saturday matinee Robbie/Gort feel.

Attractive arrayment, Alex. Any UK elements are appreciated but not required for your SOTD.

:: BLACKBIRD/STORK/VOSKHOD (awesome shave with the BB, it's been a while)
:: PALADIN (these new knots are outstanding!!!)
:: GROOMING DEPT. (a new vendor making an absolutely stellar soap, great slickness, post shave etc. I really like the scent too.)
:: MYRSOL Agua Balsamica (classic performance from a classic after shave)​

Stunning shot! Excellent assessment of your shave, Chris. I've been think about trying something from the Grooming Dept.
