Modern May 2024
Steep Angle Shaving Alliance (SASA)

Razor: Colonial Razors The General V2 (Timeless Crown TRH8 Ti Handle)
Blade: Schick Proline P (11 shaves, 22 passes)

Brush: Wald A1 Nimbus Bloodline Synthetic Fan
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper

Lather: Tallow + Steel Hokkaido
Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

Colonial Razors The General V2 is one of my Top 3 (along with the Blackland Razors Ti Vector SB and the ATT X1 Slant) razors, type notwithstanding. Today's shave was effortless. Just awesomely effortless. Two passes got me to a solid DFS - quite an accomplishment with my chaotic barbed wire beard.

This week's Supporting Cast is up to the challenge. The Wald A1 Nimbus Bloodline Synthetic Fan is one of my best brushes. The Tallow + Steel Hokkaido is an awesome soap - one of my favorites. And I'm rocking The Veg this week. My Bride loves it when I rock The Veg!

Bottom line: Another exceptional kit that I can easily, and happily, use every day.

Superb shave!
