Vetiver, vetiver, vetiver,.. That's the master scent all divided between the sublime Cyril R Salter vetiver shaving cream, vetiver de carven AS and EDT.
I can never get enough of vetiver. It never disappoints, always performs and leaves me behind with a smile on my face.
Today's shave was such a moment.

Good day gentlemen.
Not too many whiskers from the previous days shave. The Iwasaki provides a quick follow up shave with no irritation. No moving parts required. Have a nice day. Stay cool.

Razor: Robert Williams 6/8 spanish point
Soap:RazoRock XXX
Brush: Thater 4292-4B

First shave with a custom, and it was a joy. Great weight and balance to this razor. A great evening shave, since month two of Insanity gives me little time to shave in the morning.

Happy hump day, Happy July 4th! God bless the SOTD, and God bless the USA

Man, what a good shave after a let down earlier. I was working on some new scales and I screwed 'em up at the last second. I was trying to get the pins straight and ended up cracking the scales. Oh well, the shave made up for the partial depressed state I was left in. I used a very neglected razor. The AOS Dovo was the first razor I purchased in January of this year. I gave up on it after I got a TI. I never really liked it to be honest with you. But today it provided a decent shave.

No pic today, but:

Razor: Weishi 9306
Blade: Crystal / Israeli Personna
Prep: Bald Frog Eucalyptus Balm
Brush: VDH boar
Soap: Bald Frog Arabian Hooka
A/S: Nivea for Men Balm
Result: A great shave

I hadn't set out to buy another Chinese DE, but added one for free on Amazon the other day ($5 more merchandise to get $5 worth of free shipping), so I'll soon have a Concord as well. The Weishi has provided a nice, mild shave so far, so hopefully the Concord will, too (I think it's a Tech copy). I like to use a mild DE when I'm hurring in the morning or as an alternative to a two-pass shave on work mornings when there isn't much growth yet from a prior day's shave. Both were the case today.
