May 15 Sunday SOTD
Eclipse Red Ring / Voshkod (3)
Bay Rum sample mix
Vintage Rubberset Pure Badger
Retinol Men ASB
Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
The Bay Rum soap mix has various Bay Rum samples that get thrown in a container. It makes a great lather and has an interesting Bay Rum scent with a bit of menthol. A great close shave today as the Red Ring and Voshkod mowed down the stubble.

Sunday

Vulfix 660
Palmolive Lime Cream
G20 scuttle
Merkur 37G
Astra blade
Alum block
Witch hazel
Lucky Tiger

Thank You Celestino and Dave! Excellent week all!

Recently, I've come very close to selling the Mongoose. For the price, I just don't use it often, and I really can't say why. After the last 2 shaves, I can say with confidence I won't ever part with this razor. Recently having been winged and still only able to use my non-dominant hand, the Mongoose has been a godsend. The extra territory and easy to find, flawless angle have resulted in spectacular shaves despite my infirmity. As I have previously stated, shaving the left parietal region of my head is the most awkward area to shave. The Triad Rolling Hex's deep scallops make it easy to blindly grip the most distal end of the razor and hit that area with flawless BBS and without a single weeper.

For those of you on the fence about paying $22 for 4.5 oz of soap, let The Black Rose from LASSC tip you over. As a vegan soap, it performs as well as any other soap (tallow or not) in my arsenal. And the scent? I'm not even a huge fan of rose scents as they often get old fast, but The Black Rose has enough woody and earthy notes to balance the rose. My only complaint about LASSC, as has always been the case, is the rather bland labels. For many, that will make zero difference.

This was yet another outstanding shave courtesy of some very impressive products.
