Just Here for the Shaves
Williamsburg, KY
Wednesday September 20, 2023
Razor: Alpha Claymore
Blade: Feather Pro
Brush: Semogue Galahad ??/Boar
Soap: Ethos Watermelon Mint
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: Ethos Watermelon Mint SFS
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,779
Well the "New Camera Blues" continues....Did a video review of the Watermelon Mint (WM) and talked LOUD for the whole video to help the volume boost only to find the camera wasn't activated on when I clicked the button
So Dave gets to type up what he can. I will do a video and use my Tablet again by Sat to ensure it working but give the highlights of this New release that is open for preorder next week. When I 1st opened the tub of soap and sniffed it I was like "Oh, that's nice and refreshing" and then thought....this reminds me of something. Took a few more whiffs and thought, I know and grabbed a tub of Greenfresh to smell. Yep, it has the mint similar to the Greenfresh. I then sniffed it a little more and could distinguish the 2 scents of the Mint and the Watermelon. The Mint comes to the fore but the Watermelon is there lurking to pop up and let you know it's there and not to forget it. That's what I'd expect as WM is not a strong scent for me to begin with. I will add though that when I took a sniff of the Splash I was like OH MY !! The Watermelon told Mint who was Boss and comes thru more clearly for sure, YES PLEASE. That was NICE and Well done Frank !! As I type this and sip my coffee I'm still getting the scent of the Watermelon and Mint with a slight cooling that lingers. Not too strong but refreshing. This I would use year round even if many would consider it a Summer scent. The artwork keeps getting better too Frank and I couldn't be happier to have this set and use it with all the other Ethos lineup in my den. Everyone have a great day !

SNMIRN razor
Gillette 7 0'clock super stainless blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush
Yardley SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S
The SNMIRN razor has a slightly weird name but it works very well for me. I got this one a few years ago and it was only $9.99 shipped to me. At that price I thought it would be low quality but, surprisingly, it's pretty nice. A bit heavy but pretty well balanced and gives me a fine, comfortable, close shave. I like it. The RazoRock Plissoft brush is not my favorite, don't care for the handle but it works well. Great lather from the Yardley as always. So my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Same experience with my $10 SNMIRN

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave this morning. Revisited an oldie but a goodie with the TOBS "Sandalwood" collection. Great scent and superb lather built with the Semogue SOC "Mistura" brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Badlands Shaving Cocobolo DE and I finished with the matching splash and EdC.
Hope you have a great day.
