I did work out of the Louisiana swamps (Port Fourchon near Houma) for quite some years and that was like something from a different world, never mind country.
 


4/2/22

Pre - Soap Free Face Wash
Shaving Soap - Tabac Stick
Brush - Yaqi Plissoft 22mm
Blade - Shark Platinum (3)
Post - Lea Balm
AS - La Rive Brutal Classic

One of those beautiful flawless lathers, slick, glossy with the perfect amount of cushion, tallow Tabac on it's day is near enough unbeatable for it's performance, the scent however isn't one I could muster for daily use though!
A really smooth and comfortable shave with the Shark Platinum, I really rate this blade, it's up there with the best blades from Lord, I'd say I might even enjoy using it as much as the best Gillette blades.

First time using 'Brutal Classic' aftershave.

Scent Type: herbal, spicy
Top Note: Basil, Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, Rosemary
Heart Note: Cloves, Lavander, Lily of the valley, Orange Blossom, Rose
Base Note: Leather Notes, Moss, Musk, Patchouli, Sandal, Vetiver

Quite a complex scent by the description of it, but my nose isn't the most refined when it comes to appreciating scents! My nose detects herbs and a few other things I can't quite put my finger on, but I really like the scent of Brutal Classic, it's quite a mild but earthy one, quite high in alcohol content but feels great on the skin, I can see it becoming a favourite down the line.

Anyway gents, I hope you have a good Friday and weekend.
 
Nice razor Sir !
 
Evening all,

Prep, hot water and flannel
Brush, Razorock Beehive
Razor, Blackland Blackbird
Blade, Supermax Diamond Edge (2nd use)
Soap, HWF No 2, Lanolin
A/S, Bond Spacequest

Although there wasn’t a huge amount of material to shave. I couldn’t resist using the new HWF soap.

It lathered up extremely well, a nice not overpowering scent. It went on very nicely with lots of protection and slickness.

Very happy with the results, no nicks / weepers / cuts etc. And no discomfort from the application of the A/S. An extremely close and clean shave. I might not need to shave tomorrow!

Have a good evening and weekend all!

Best,

Ben
 


Hot shower
Asylum Rx w/
Kai Sharpblade
A&E Spartacus, on the dense side

The Shave: ATG, ATG, done. No touch-ups.

The Rx was okay with a Kai mild, not bad with a Proline, but I was beginning to think there wasn't any kind of special shave awaiting. In with a fresh Sharpblade, and away we go... I've found my combo for the next while.

Now to source some more Sharpblades...
 
Razor = Karve CB ( C )
Blade = Voskhod. ( 3 )
Brush = PAA Amber Aerolite 24mm Synthetic
Cream = ES Bay Rum with matching balm
Splash = Myrsol Don Miguel
An Absolute wonderful shave tonight
Actually the best shave iv had with the Karve.
Over the last few months iv been using the Karve less & less and was considering getting rid but now i’ll keep it in the mean time.
I bought a lot of blades a few months back and forgot how good the Voskhod’s were,
well maybe not forgetting but just trying different options.
i can’t remember but i’m assuming it’s the first time iv used this razor/blade combo and it was top drawer.
This cream should be finished in 3-4 shaves so definitely another on the cards
Onwards & Upwards boys
Stay Safe
