    Awesome shave this Sunday morning.

    Only a 1/2 day Zoom class today. (0900 to 1400 hours).

    Smoked the two pre-tests.

    Next Saturday is a 1/2 day of labs, then next Sunday are our two final exams.

    Woke-up early and ate breakfast with my liddle mini-me. Afterwards I took a nice hot shower, and then had a great face and head shave before the class.

    Still sticking with my autumn/winter scents.

    I am always amazed at how well an almost 200-year old restored Wade & Butcher still shaves. (I totally dig the nostalgia factor of it as well). Just love how quiet it is (almost a full wedge), and what a crazy smooth shave it gives. Definitely my second favorite razor.

    Just an outstanding shave!

    Crushing life!

    Straight: Wade & Butcher (V-stamped)
    DE: Carbon Shaving CX-316L (head shave)
    Lather: B&M “Hallows”
    Balm: B&M “Hallows”
    Brush: WCS Beacon (synthetic)
    Bowl: Captains Choice (large)

    Great shave this early Monday morning.

    Wanted something a bit different, so I went with Southern Witchcrafts, “Druantia”. (Cedar, Oakmoss, Rosewood, Cypress).

    Nice, natural, scent. Organically clean.

    Love Southern Witchcrafts soaps. Just incredibly slick and nourishing.

    So I went with an unscented soap and balm to pair with the Druantia scent. (I never clash scents together. Just ghetto).

    Superb face and head shave.

    Crushing the day.

    Straight: Koraat 14-2.0 (custom shortened)
    DE: Carbon Shaving CX-316L (head shave)
    Soap: Southern Witchcrafts “Incorporeal” (Unscented)
    Balm: Soap Commander “Integrity” (Unscented)
    Splash: Southern Witchcrafts “Druantia”
    Brush: WCS Beacon (Silvertip)
    Bowl: Captains Choice (large)
