Summary: Yesterday I received a parcel and to my surprise when I opened it I found this gorgeous brush specially made for me. Not only was the brush a surprise but I have finally earned my new nickname . And yes, it is laser engraved. I decided to use one of my top soaps to bless and inaugurate the new brush. And boy, did it perform. For its first lathering, it performed flawless. I'm a happy camper

Gents, enjoy the new week!

Just when i'm getting aquainted with a few other scents, I use the Bavx and the others dont stand a chance, it's the most wonderful scent I could happily go the rest of my life using only this scent, the shave was magic, one pass with minor clean up, this setup always seems to be my bench mark shave, everything else must be judged against this shave.

Good morning friends!

I'm really impressed with how this new razor honed up. 3 passes and I am seriously smooth.
It feels great to shave with, just have to be a little careful with that very sharp tip.
A fantastic debut shave for my latest addition.

ASB: Skinfood

EDT: Carlo Corinto Vetyver

RESULTS: A Nice Slow Shave

I was going to shave early in the morning but having just come home from work not too long ago, I figured I would make good use of this quiet house The razor of choice was the Wellignton( and as seeing as that was Max's choice as well, I think I made a good one ) this razor is such a great find, and one of my favorite shavers. The cream was Bluebeards revenge, which is another of my favorites, the smell is absolutely intoxicating, the definition of a "clean scent" IMO, only thing I dont like about it is the "Decelerine" ingredient, however I dont use it too often as my rotation is rather large so I dont think it will effect me too much, if at all. Also the matching ASB is one of thebest I have tried too, the scent is there plus a great barrier of protection and moisture, a really great ASB. Top it off with the Booster Oakmoss, and it was a great end to a busy and tiring night.

GENTS THE POSTS ARE GREAT SO FAR,CANT WAIT FOR THE REST OF THEM.

GRANT, THAT RAZOR LOOKS EVEN BETTER IN YOUR SOTD, I HOPE MINE TURNS OUT HALF AS GOOD AS YOURS WHEN IM DONE WITH IT.
