Revisor 6/8 l Musgo Real l Chubby 2 Best l Razorock Wax
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 28mm Rodney Neep Extra Stuffed Silvertip Badger w/ African Soapstone handle
Razor: 8/8" Bismarck #6, Full Hollow Ground, Round Point
Strop: 10/55/25 laps (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Shave "Pegasus III" Horse hide leather / Cordovan leather)
Soapreme: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
After Shave Balm: eShave "Almond" ASB
Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdT
Results: In my hallucinations due to limited sleep and living in a two dimensional world of my computer screen for the past couple of days, I came up with a new word (or rather a synonym) for überlather; SOAPREME (Soap + Creme and it rhymes with Supreme). The Acca Kappa combo is such an animal, all the way to its core
. Moisturizing, excellent glide and cushion and fabulous almond scent. Coupling this wholesome goodness of a lather with my Bismarck proved to a great choice. As much as I liked the nice set of custom Ivory Micarta scales she was in, I felt that she would shine better in her original clothes. So while in Vegas, Max was kind enough to make my wish come through
. I was rewarded with a SPECTACULAR shave
. What a smooth shave. Now, if I could only get my wife to leave my face alone
Have a WONDERFUL Thursday (??!!!) gentlemen
. I can't believe the week is almost over...what happened to Monday?!!!

Muhle R89 with Derby
Simpson 56 best
QCS shave cream: Mysore Sandalwood
homemade aftershave
I don't use the 56 too often but am reminded every time that I do what a wonderful brush it is. Even though it's on the small side it whips up a lather like the bejezzus.

Found Caswell Massey 1752 Almond Cream in Marshall's for $7! Hah! Combined with the Santa Maria Novella, the scent was heavenly. The first WTG pass left me pretty smooth, but I had lather left over. So I just kept lathering and stroking. You know how it is!
I dug out a tub of Ambre de Venezia body moisturizer I bought in Manhattan years ago that has always smelled way too good...they should've made an AS or edt out of it. Combined with the other scents, I smell pretty good, if I do say so myself. Oh, I've got Acoustic Alchemy playing softly in the background, a great bottle of chilled white wine on the table, a beautiful dinner plated up, and I am about to go for the cheek to cheek test.
Gentlemen, may your evening end as well as mine (hopefully) will!!!
