Had a lovely shave this evening..I was very kindly gifted a sample of p&b imperial rum from @wooky114 thank you mate really appreciate the chance to try it, I haven’t tried a bay rum before nor have I tried a p&b and have to say I absolutely loved it..the lather was excellent and the scent was very enjoyable it reminded me very much of the scent of cola bottle sweets or like a rum and coke with a lovely limey sweetness to it very enjoyable feeling super smooth and nicely refreshed

Found a local Jnat honemeister...all my inactive straights are finally given the proper massage by sexy Japanese stones...
I can't wait to feel the meaning of shave-ready and buttery smooth...honemeister even kindly loaned me his Near Wedge Dorko to see if I prefer thicker grind...very grateful.

Soap Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Dorko 43 Solingen 7/8 Near Wedge
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Hyaluronic + Proraso Green Splash
This soap scent is truly awesome! The lather is wonderful too...thick, creamy, and slick!
This near wedge 7/8 razor is very kindly on loan to me from my locally found Jnat honemeister!
The shave was a wow...the 1st few strokes were silent! I was very tentative and kept the blade as flat as possible...
As I gain confidence...man...is it that a buttery smooth edge I always heard about...?? I felt the razor edge was not bitey sharp like the previous GD but rather soft and ooooo the smoothness...
I was very tentative with every stroke since it's my first thick heavy razor...but I know if I use it more...I can use the razor weight with better efficiency. The best test was the atg on the upper lip...wow...very very nice...so smooth and no skippy at all...
Overall...I enjoyed using this wedge for the no-blade chatter...Managed to do a 3.5pass without any irritation nor nicks and weepers...excellent! Results were just SAS though...hopefully, will get better with more practice.
The aftershaves were fantastically cold and perfect!

Today’s shave was just divine I used a sample of pannacrema rossa very kindly gifted to me from @RussellR5555 followed by the Acqua di Parma Oud..a match made in heaven, thank you Russ I have to pick some of this up very soon. The little Boker was lovely and smooth..Shaves like these are why I love this hobby

Thu 1st SR SOTD
Soap PAA Cavendish
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn 77 (after going thru some Japanese massage sessions)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + PAA Cavendish
Super nice aromatic scent from this soap! The lather was creamy and slick too...
Shave with this full hollow razor (used to be very skippy & tuggy)...how can I describe it...? I can feel the edge but it was not bitey, just smooth...& comfortable. Was this the buttery smoothness edge I have been wanting to experience? What an enjoyable session...best test is always the atg pass and it was really smooth even for the upper lips except under my left jawline, a bit skippy there. 3passes for between ccs & sas. Aftershaves were awesome!

This Le Grelot 71 is new to me , my friend who I bought it from put a La Lune edge on it for me to try , found the edge Cotticule Comfortable and maybe just a bit keener , very nice.

After the Japanese Razors the French ones are probably my next favourite.
