    Razor:Utica Cutlery Co. Helma 88
    Brush:Jade and brass handled boar
    Cream:Erasmic
    AS:Thayers Lavender and English Leather
    Result:Another new cream for me and another winner in my book. The lather and the scent reminds me of Barbasol quite a bit. Throw in another great shave from the Helma and I'm ready for interview number two today. Have a great day and many more great shaves.

    Oh my Robert, there seems to be an awful lot of delectable fragrances in there. I have just finished blending up a few new scents for myself and still have them on my fingers and in my nose. Vetiver, tonka bean, oakmoss, amber - perhaps my all-time favourite fragrances. I shall have to check this one out!
    PS! Although that razor needs no words at all, I can't help myself; It is stunning! I even adore those 3-color peens.

    --Friday shave--

    PREP: Hot shower + Proraso pre/post
    SOAP/CREAM: P160 + glycerin
    Brush: Vie-Long Zurito
    Razor: KING heart Columbia 13/16
    ASB: Proraso pre/post
    AS: Speick splash

    Result: Awesome smooooth shave, first time with a Japanese razor and I love it. I bought it from Mainaman(Stefan) fully shave ready, he's really a gentlemen. The P160 is a great soap but lack a bit of moisture that's why I put some glycerin but the scent is amazing.

    Cheers and good day to all!!!

    Thank you all. Short second interview went well as did the testing phase of the process. Should hear back from them next week if I made it to the third and final interview.

    I haven't posted here in a while, so I figured it's time to

    Razor: Joseph Rodgers - ivory/ivory tang
    Strop: Kanayama (vintage, don't remember which number)
    Cream: Castle Forbes Lavender
    Brush: Rooney's Finest
    AfterShave: Pre de Provence
    EdT: Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil

    Picture of my summery drink, no.209 gin & Q tonic along with the razor. I thought the modern upscale version of a 19th century drink goes perfectly with the max-polished 19th century luxury razor.
