That was a close shave! Almost done in one pass, the second was a very light tidy up pass. The Barrister’s Reserve Fern has a very pleasant and quite strong scent, it is also rather thirsty, and it provided a really good lather for this shave. The Clinique balm blended well with it.

Brush - Omega 10075
Soap - Vitos Red Coco
Razor - Fat Handle Tech
Blade - Minora Stainless (5)
Post - Brut Oceans

One of those days when I just couldn't quite get the lather going, it wasn't a great one.

Not a bad shave in the end though.

The Gillette Minora Stainless is a top tier blade, it's as good as the Nacet, Permasharp etc. One of the best blades from the PPI factory.

I’m really enjoying the Mirra Russ it’s not a loud fill the room scent bomb but it’s certainly long lasting but more of a skin scent..it’s lovely a nice spicyness with a lovely orangey note and something a bit reminiscent of a honey although it’s not honey it’s super nice glad I picked this one up

The reviews on it are quite mixed , but I enjoy it as it last well on my skin and as you say is present but subtle.Is the honey note maybe the Amber ? , I am rubbish with separating scents , for me overall i get spicy and citrus which is a great blend.

Yes that’s what I thought amber but apparently it doesn’t have any in it but whatever it is I’m picking up on it’s very nice..just opened the Oud this morning to have a sniff and oh my word I absolutely love it thinks it’s just overtaken the Czech and speak 88 for me and hit the number 1 spot, both blind buys and both are wonderful extremely happy

The 3d printed Stoll Jr. Certainly lives up to it's lather catcher name. With no clogging, I completed each pass before needing to rinse. Lovely smooth result after a lovely, relaxed set of passes. The baton handle is quite inspired, being very comfortable to hold.
Very happy with the design by Roger Quintero aka SlimGem.

Brilliant Shave today,
Didn’t really think my face would take it after the experience of the Dart when my face wasn’t ready.
Anyway couldn’t help myself today
my face was still a bit so so but man up and get on with it.
The Razor i really liked the look of
open comb & double slant twist should have had bells ringing in my head but i wasn’t bothered and the result was brilliant.
A 3 Pass BBS with Absolutely no feedback from the Alum.
The Brush was a dream and i genuinely think PAA just have it right
mind you they are mostly copies of vintage brushes.
