Razor: Wade & Butcher "Hollow Ground"
Lather: P.A.A. Malbolge
Brush: Vie-Long (horse hair)
Bowl: AKA Brushworx Abalone (3-pass)
Post: P.A.A. Alum Block w/ No-Slip Grip System & Dry Dock System
Aftershave: P.A.A. Malbolge
The moment I cracked the lid on this one it put a smile on my face. Malbolge is something special and one I wasn't going to miss. Needless to say, I was excited for this shave.
Hardware wise I went with my Wade and Butcher frameback. It's a somewhat beefy razor but no harder to use than any of my other straights.
I whipped up some lather with my Vie-Long horse brush in my beautiful AKA Brushworx Abalone bowl then got to painting. Once white in the face I went to it. With the quality of the CK-6 lather, my shave went without a hitch and was rather fun.
In case you're wondering the scent is comprised of Tobacco, Citrus, Anise, Musk, Patchouli, Burnt Sugar, Black Pepper & Benzoin Resin. To say the scent is rich and enchanting is an understatement. There's something a little warm, a little sweet but very enticing about it. It's masculine, sexy, and has great projection.
I'll say this was another great shave thanks to Phoenix Shaving. If you don't have Malbolge, I recommend you give it a try.
Thanks for reading and enjoy your shaves.
Prepare for mind control!
