The Leresche 34 is a pretty aggressive piece (and the Tian Li needs some break in) and I managed a couple weepers on my chin figuring that out. Once accustomed to its ways I appreciated its efficiency, finishing up the head shave portion of the morning show in just one ATG pass with clean ups. A very close shave.

Georgetown Pottery G12 Scuttle (Green Oribe & Purple)
Rooney 3/3 Ivory Finest #2 (26mm/65mm)
Colgate Barber shaving soap with added menthol
Charcoal Goods Brass L1/Triad Brass Aristocrat
Polsilver Super Iridium (4)
Cigar Aficionado aftershave/Beer Soap Co. Ireland Tweed solid cologne
I melted about 1/8 tsp of menthol crystals in 1-1/2 tsp hot water and then pipetted that into the soap lather as I built it in my scuttle bowl. The lather was quite cold on my skin, and I liked it. I certainly would not want to use it every day, but once every couple weeks or so will be fine.

Tabactober Time Out
We delay Tabactober for a day so that I can try a new to me set. Play it Again, Sam is made by Through The Fire Fine Craft and features a very classy combination of ginger, lime and tobacco. I get the scent notes in that order at a good medium strength. Getting this set was a no-brainer for a Bogart fan like me - this is similar to his favored scent, Creed Tabarome Millesime. I don't have any experience with that cologne, so I don't know how close this one is, but I really like it. Ginger should be in more things, imho. The lather was excellent and easily made with this amazing boar - had I gotten this brush back when I started, I may not have tried synthetics.

Soap: TTFFC Play it Again, Sam
