Mark, your taste in fine shaving implements never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks mate
The Globusmen was a lucky find off fleabay. I was the only bidder and got it for about the same as a Dovo "best"

Wifey is working today, so I decided on one of my personal autumn/winter favorites, PAA’s “Blue Samhain”.

I recently found out that wifey doesn’t like it. As a matter of fact, it’s her least favorite of my autumn/winter scents.

I can see why, as it has a VERY STRONG scent...and wifey dislikes overpowering smells.

I usually get a scentless balm, place enough balm on my hand to treat my face and head, then add VERY LITTLE of the splash to the balm. Rub it together between my palms, then apply it to my face and head.

The splash is a super strong scent because it is also a cologne. So this is what I have to do to tone it down a bit.

Works great.

The soap is super soft (almost a croap), and lathers super nicely. Great slickness.

Paired it with my newest refurbish job - a Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett Co straight razor. (I modified and added horn scales from an old Herder straight, which came out perfect).

Such a cracee sharp blade.

Gotta love the scent. It’s more like a sweet butterscotch to my nose now.

Crushing the day!

Straight: Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett Co.
DE : Carbon Shaving CX-316L (head shave)
Lather: PAA “Blue Samhain”
Balm: Soap Commander “Integrity” (Unscented)
Splash: PAA “Blue Samhain”
Brush: WCS Beacon (synthetic)
Bowl: Captains Choice (large)

SOTD March 3rd
'26 Gillette
Bolzano (5)
William Marvy Shave soap - "Look Better, Feel Better"
Glycerin (4 drops, should have done 3)
Omega Professional '98 Boar
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

Really, really, very good lather with this soap using this brush, the added glycerin is a necessary step with Marvy's but who cares, as the payoff on the lather stands on its own.

Great shave.
