Hello friends

Spring Saturday dawned very pleasant here. Tabac was perfect. R41, Gillette Silver Blue (5) and Semogue SOC Mixture are more than perfect…

With us, the incredible Benny Golson.

What a wonderful start to the weekend, my friends!

I decided to change razors today. I went with my Wolfman WR2 loaded with a Personna Medical Prep blade. No nicks, cuts, or weepers. I used my Shavemac Synthetic, a nice brush. This brush is one of my favorite synthetic brushes. Although it is soft on my face, it loads the soap easily. The MdC soap is on its 246th use and going strong. Have a great day, folks.

Was just shooting for par this morning as today was my daughter’s 3rd birthday party and I didn’t want to push it and accidentally cut myself or something(because that’s how my luck goes) but I managed BBS without even trying. 5 out of 5 stars

Razor - Carbon Cx-904L original plate
Blade - Personna Lab Blue (4)
Brush - Marley Machine Works Timascus
Software - Gentleman’s Nod Bluegrass Muse

Another hot day, making one feel like a roasted duck hanging under a heat lamp in a Chinese restaurant. The GN Bluegrass Muse was very refreshing and was perfect for this weather. The Carbon Cx with the original plate continues to impress, providing me with BBS shaves with no irritation and plenty of blade feel.
 
Shave Date 10/7/23
Razor:
Rex Envoy
Blade: GSB(2)
Pre-Shave: PAA Cube 2.0
Soap: PAA Planet Phoenix
Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
Post-shave: Alum Block, Thayers, PAA Mysterium Serum, Planet Phoenix Aftershave
Bowl: Douglas Smith Pottery Suribachi Shaving Bowl
Rating: 9.75/10 BBS Cheeks and DFS+ on the neck. 0 weeper.

Notes here.

Fantastic shave this morning. The GSB and Rex Envoy are a match made in heaven. The combo shaved superbly ATG on the face with a shallow angle. I was very impressed. I deducted a quarter point because the Neck is never BBS. I did get about as close as I have in a while but stopped shy of BBS to avoid any irritation.

I am enjoying the scent of Planet Phoenix, it was a limited scent when I got it and now is no longer listed. A puck and the aftershave will last me a good long while. Especially with it being only one of many I have in my shaving arsenal.

The song will be LSU's fight song. As we pulled one out against an undefeated Mizzou today in Columbia Mo.
