Sounds like an amazing shave Matt. Congrats on this Maxterpiece. Can't wait to see the next one

I am not quite there Mikael...I wish. I have a long way to go before I can even begin to feel qualified or be allowed to even have lunch around that zip code

That's exactly where I saw the birdseye maple and liked it too.

I think so too Bruce, but I am in no rush to have this second one yet. May come up with a different design...We'll see. I want to give Rudy a break. I tortured him too much.

The Acca Kappa Cedar aftershave, another new purchase, was very nice. It has a subtle scent and left my face feeling great.

I am glad someone else thinks the AK cedar is great too. I have the EdC and like it. It is not Creed or Penhaligon's, but pretty good for the price, imo.

Congratulations Doug. It only gets better (and more addictive)

BB,
That's why girlfriends can be hazardous to one's shave, LOL.

Rum-maestro,
Beautiful choice of blade for this shave.

Well...if you look at it from a "composition of matter" POV, then you are really creating a new product, even if it is just mixing two already existing products. Not sure about licensing agreements that will need to go in place and the financial incentives, but doable.

Very Nice, mixing the two soaps adds a lot of lather and scent.

Jim,
Glad you liked it. it is fun. Some soaps/cremes are good enough n their own and don't mixing, but some can benefit from a boost. I especially like mixing tallow and glycerin products. Works like magic...super slick and thick.
