Over a month later but the B-20’s made it from Japan.
Razor: Enders Speed Shaver
using an original blade stacked under a Schick B-20 injector blade
Brush: Rich Man Shaving Red Forge
Soap: Wholly Kaw Fougere Mania
AS: Wholly Kaw Fougere Mania Toner
Just a super shave, the razor hack is amazingly efficient but I will be removing the edge from the old blade next time. I did a clip off attempt on another blade but it just shattered into a mess.
The WK Fougere Mania lather was as expected, awesome.

Outstanding shave this Friday morning.
Pulled the “Blue Samhain” out from the medicine cabinet. Something about its scent is very complex and attractive to me.
But it MUST be used super sparingly, as it has such a strong scent. (Use it like a regular splash, and you’ll smother your co-workers with an overwhelmingly strong scent till 2000 hours that evening)!
Paired it with a great unscented balm, and the trusty Wade & Butcher.
I always forget what a great soap their CK6 formula is. It is very soft (a croap?), yet gives a nice, super slick lather.
The shave was great. The balm was fantastic skin food. And the ole Wade & Butcher was creepy-sharp…as always.
Loving the shave as I walked out of the shaving area.

What a nice and pleasant shave this morning.
I wanted to try a different straight, so I went to the office and used the Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett.
It was just recently honed, so is was a super smooth and effortless shave.
Like I’ve said a ga-bazillion times before, nothing gives me a closer and more comfortable shave than a straight razor.
I paired it with the best unscented soap on the market (Southern Witchcrafts, “Incorporeal”), and West Coast Shavings “The Soloist”.
The scent, “The Soloist” has grown on me.
Initially not my favorite tobacco scent. (It reminded me of smelling a smokers pocket that was sweet). But it is a pure tobacco scent (not pipe tobacco) that is subtle, and has these low undertones of something.
Not sure what that something is, but it smoothed out the tobacco…and the wifey likes that it is not strong. (Maybe a 3 or 4 out of 10 on scent strength).
Of course, an unscented balm was used.
Outstanding shave this morning. And like always, I don’t leave the sink area until it is a baby butt smooth shave.
And today the head and face were sticky clean!
Crushing Saturday.
