April 2021

As a Swiss guy (currently living in Denmark) this one was a must. BR-1 razor with 3 different SB baseplats 0,67 / 0,86 / 0,99 from Blutt Rasur. Machined SS, Swiss Made.









Best Regards

These two brushes arrived from Alpha today.  The red one is an Outlaw handle with a 28mm VC02 Voigt & Cop Manchurian tuft, and the other is a Kryten handle with a 28mm SHD.

Received my order from Ethos Grooming Essentials today. Only ordered a 1oz sample of the Colonia, which I tried already, and a 1oz sample of the Greenfresh to try for the first time.

I'm so glad I tried the Greenfresh. This scent is great. Nice. Sweet. Fresh. Definitely a spring / summer scent. I will surely be adding a larger size to my den, down the road.

A small scoop yielded well beyond three passes of a luxurious shave.

p.s.: These are the sample bottles. They look classy as ever and a full ounce (probably 20+ shaves?) in stature. Just awesome, IMO.

P.p.s: I'm probably overshooting it with 20 shaves, but it is a sizable amount.

Some new stuff

I'll try it when my current blade's life is done.

Pretty sure this is an A-1 Autostrop before Valet got it. Push button mechanism rather than the lever and handle not removable.

Thanks AQU - just posted some thoughts on the Ikon Tek thread.

AoS Rose Absolute shaving cream. Just in time, because my current jar is running a bit low. I have rose absolute hydrosols that I can use to scent unscented shaving cream nicely, but in my experience nothing can match the fragrance of the AoS.
