Hey Tim curious if that PAA Soap is their newest base (CK6). If so how do you find it? All the reviews look promising. Just curious.

I have both CK1 and CK6. I actually like both versions, they are keepers. Want me to send you a sample?

Thanks Tim appreciate the offer. I actually have two on the way.  Diver Down (Seaforth Spice clone) and Astra Planeta  scent with tobacco and other nice bits.

The Process-
Nice late morning shave today and I dig these shaves. Today I am breaking out a soap/AS set that is unobtainium. That’s a real shame because it’s a great scent. I went with a 20 second load time and a wet brush. This whipped up a really nice lather.

I went with 20 laps on linen and 40 on leather with this pass around strop. That’s right, I’m not stropless today ... huh. I used my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. I found I had my brush too wet and I really had my lather thinned out by the third pass. No worries, the soap didn’t break and it was slick as ever. The scent held through the entire shave and I am BBS for the win! Had a tiny bit left for a thin post shave lather as well.

I wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Man ... I dig this scent. I may try going back to my pre-Rona days and use a soap/AS for a work week of shaves, with weekends open to whatever. We’ll see how that goes. The pass around strop will be sent to the next participant on Monday. I’ll miss that strop, but glad I was able to try it. Life is good!

The Process-
Late morning shave today because ... reasons. Ok, so I was enjoying my sleep way too much ... but I was at work on time. That and I still got in my shave. I had to grab the DE to take care of business, so I was stropless again and it was so liberating. JK, not really. It was kinda a bummer, because I wanted to use the pass around strop one more time before I shipped it off. But it was not to be and it is in the mail now.

In spite of that traumatic experience, I am clean shaved and smelling awesome. Life is good!

Nice shave and recovery..........at least I think you're over it..........of course you are. Carry on !
