2020 Rocnel Sailor Prototype #3
30mm Turn N Shave M5 Galaxy Spindle
GD Soft Goods preshave, soap, and splash
GSB

Past 2 shaves with the WR4 were nice but it had to watch the Sailor destroy about a week's growth. I need at least a 1.35mm WR4 to match the Sailor (I think) at one full revolution.

The .86mm WR4 is great for 3-4 days growth. But doesn't remove more growth nearly as effectively.

Sailoris still the king of the den. Murat crushed it with the 2020.

Now I know who beat me to that 30mm Galaxy Spindle lol!!! I ended up getting the 29mm Galaxy Spindle. Milton's Galaxy pours are some of my favorites.

Razor: Karve Overlander
Blade: Astra SP (3)
Brush: Declaration Grooming Cotton Candy B15
Soap: Barrister & Mann Lyssa

Today's Rose scent is Lyssa. Lyssa was my favorite Rose scent but now I'm not so sure. I might have to put it behind POMP. This Rose is similar to No. 1 as it's more of a beautiful perfume-style Rose.

I wish it was stronger but maybe it was stronger when it was released a few years back. Another great scent not made anymore.

I really love B15 and this Cotton Candy pour is sweet ?!!

Ha! I was fast! I have grown to love the M5 knot...and I've asked him to make sure to include more 30mm on future drops.

I've had a crap ton of DG brushes. I had the Cotton Candy pour and it was Top 3. I don't think it was 15 hair tho. It was a prior batch. Great score my friend.

Razor: P.A.A. Ascension SELECT Twist
Blade: BiC Chrome Platinum (d3)

Lather: P.A.A. Doppelganger Oxblood
Brush: Vie-Long (horse)
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Post 1: P.A.A. Alum w/ No-Slip Grip System & Dry Dock System
Post 2: Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent w/ Menthol & Eucalyptus
Aftershave: P.A.A. Doppelganger Oxblood

What an epic shave this was. I went Phoenix Shaving all the way, sans brush since I don't have one (yet). But seriously... Seriously! My friends, do not sleep on Oxblood! You will regret it. It is insanely good!

It's listed as having accords of fresh, spicy, aromatic floral, woody, metallic, and sweet. The actual note list is too long to list. All you need to know though is that it's absolutely magnificent! It has both barbershop and Fougere qualities and has this awesome rich, spice, metallic, floral, wood, nostalgic vibe going on. Again, do not pass this one up!

I love the shaves I get with the Ascension Select because of its twist-adjustable feature. It allows me to dial in the blade feel for each pass exactly how I like it. Needless to say with the superior slickness from the CK-6 soap base and the precision quality is the razor, I easily earned a bbs.

Capping this outstanding shave off I splashed on some matching Oxblood aftershave and was treated to an epically unique fragrance that's somewhat barbershop-ish, somewhat Fougere-ish, and oh-so fitting to be a Phoenix Shaving release. I'm telling you this fragrance is out-of-this-world and the post-shave feel is great!

Alright my friends, take care and enjoy your shaves.
