Outstanding shave this super early morning.
The nearly 200-year old Wade & Butcher is such a sweet straight razor. And the “Samhain” soap and splash are incredible skin food, and scent.
Just love the mental feeling I get when a head and face shave goes right.
What a way to start a Friday.

Great shave this afternoon.
Slept-in, mama cooked me breakfast in bed, then I took the liddle one to swim classes.
On the way back she passed-out in the truck. It was her nap time.
Got home and put her to bed for nap time. Then I jumped in the shower. I was actually thinking about what shave soap I’d use today.
It’s a bit chilly and overcast, so I chose the warmer scent of “Leviathan”.
Just a thick, full, and spectacular lather.
Scent is really nice.
Paired it with my 7/8” Ralf Aust, which was atom-splitting sharp.
Crazy smooth and wonderful shave.
Crushing Saturday.

DE: Carbon Shaving Cx-316L (head shave)
Lather: B&M “Leviathan”
