Pre: Warm Water Splash
Razor: Paradigm 17-4
Blade: Personna Red (2)
Soap: Czech & Speake “Oxford & Cambridge”
Brush: Paladin Chief 28 in Lime Green
Bowl: Captain’s Choice ceramic
Post: Captain’s Choice “Venture” AS
Two Point Five passes (WTG-ATG-touchups)
Result: DFS-BBS
An excellent shave with the Paradigm 17-4. After recently using the Gillette “New” Long Comb, the Paradigm feels like a Cadillac! The end result was not all that much different. I got a great shave each time. But the process was a lot more plush with the Paradigm.
Happy Shaves to the Gentlemen.

Saturday Morning Luxury Shave
Razor: Above the Tie aluminum SB90
Blade: Astra SP
Soap: Arko
Brush: Omega 49
AS: Old Spice (original formula from India)
Just arrived in the mail this morning: a new aluminum Above the Tie SB90. Used it with the Astra SP supplied by ATT. What a great efficient razor. I am discovering that I have a strong affinity towards aluminum razors. My only complaint: I need want one in blue, my favorite color.
Face is feeling a bit dry after this shave. I cannot use traditional body soaps, but must use sensitive skin soap. Looks like the same is true for shaving soap. I guess I need dragon tallow, donkey milk, and essential unicorn oils to keep my ugly mug satisfied.

World Fashion Day
Rooney Stubby 3XL Porcelain Finest (30/52)
Penhaligon's Castile shaving cream (vintage)
Paradigm 17-4/Triad Aristocrat Black
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (7)
Penhaligon's Castile aftershave (vintage)
What a wonderful shave. The brush is one of my favorites, the cream made perfect lather, and the Paradigm brought out the best in the Personna blade. The aftershave finished everything beautifully. I just wish Penhaligon's had made a tallow soap with the same scent.

Steampunk! Delta Echo Razor Works? I have a J4 done in Steampunk.
Correct, Delta Echo Works. Also have a Gillette Fat Handle Tech in Steampunk finish. They did great work.

Saturday Morning Shave.
Felt like having a winters day in August.
Razor- Carbon Shaving Damascus Baseplate
Blade - Feather
Brush - Mozingo DFS Collaboration
Shave soap - B&M Terror
Aftershave- WSP Peppermint with extra menthol as I accidentally broke my bottle of Terror aftershave.
Started with a Ice cold shower using Dr Bonners Peppermint body wash, a peppermint shampoo I made and facial soap bar.
When I was done with the shave I felt like I walked out of my house on a January day butt ass naked I was cold all over my body head to toe and my face was frozen!
