BAUME.BE Shaving Cream
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Star Jelly, Aftershave & Cologne - Lavender Planet
Darwin Drake Certified 2 band badger
Maxfli Gold 100

Fabulous 3 passer, this Maxfli has some of the loudest feedback. BAUME.BE one of my favorite shaving creams, quick to lather, super dense with excellent slick and long lasting face feel. Lavender Planet....reminding me that is was low 70s yesterday about 2pm, then by 5pm it's in the 20s (with a single digit 'feels like').

Art of Shaving Rose Absolute shaving cream (vintage)
Paradigm 17-4/UFO Titan Fine
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (4)
Ginger's Garden Rose Petals aftershave

A great 'summer' shave on a grey winter day. The cream, although dried, made wonderful lather with a scent that for me is second only to custom Ethos Honeysuckle among the florals. The razor head and handle are my favorite combination, with perfect weight and balance.

Paul:  how do you like Hamami? I always hear mixed reviews and take it out of the cart?  I definitely like heavy scented, smoky, dark, spicy, unique, incense-y software.  I read one review that said think old lady perfume on a 4 day old dead person.  Really? They left out the ash tray overfilled of butts with red lipstick on them.  That would have put it away for good, this will be my last ask…cheers
