Just Here for the Shaves
Williamsburg, KY
Wednesday November 30, 2022
Razor: Asylum 17-4
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Sorentino Orange Crush/Cashmere
Soap: Areffa Soaps Time Dragon
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: CFG Ghost Town Barber
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,485

When a member posted getting 4 sets of this soapmaker in I was curious and after some googling decided to get a couple to try. The Company is in Kiev, Ukraine. My order was placed on Nov 1st and in a day or so (Time Difference) I was contacted with a shipping quote and Total which I paid by PayPal. I recieved the soaps on the 29th due to customs hold up in Ukraine as well as the US. Areffa was VERY fast to respond to each email inquiry during the process and I could not be happier with the transaction. I purchased Time Dragon and Discoverer for a Total of about $38 which included shipping and chose Time Dragon for today's shave:

The main notes of the fragrance are leather and smoked wood.

Type of aroma: leathery, woody
Top note: bergamot, saffron
Heart note: pine, balsam, white flowers, sandalwood
Base note: leather, oud, patchouli

Scent strength was in the medium range and enough to pick it up but not enough to be distracting. I enjoyed it very much and think leather and smoked wood sums upthe overall scent perfectly. Looking forward to further uses and will do a video shave with one of these soaps with further thoughts after more uses. Have a great day everyone !

Shower: Stirling Executive Man
Preshave: PAA Cube 2.0
Soap: PAA CaD Caturday!
Razor: Tatara Masamune
Blade: Personna Lab Blue, day 1
PostShave: CWR, Alum block, Thayer's
Balm: Zingari Man balm unscented
AfterShave: Fine 21st Century Platinum

We just got back from a week in the Caribbean, on Martinique. Lots of rum, and very good rum indeed. I went down for a ham radio contest (call TO5Z). It was good. 6200 contacts in about 36 hours. Good times. I wanted something easy today so I picked the Masamune which is pretty much an autopilot razor. Not quite as close as my Rex's but very easy and quick. The Executive Man Soap and Caturday shaving soap where the fresh barbershop variety - and finished it off with some new Fine Platinum - quite nice. Also did the balm before aftershave for a little twist. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and now we coast into the holidays, my favorite time of year. Its cool here in Texas, the trees are beautiful, and Christmas is coming!

Keep looking up my brothers!  Angel

For some reason I have a bit of trouble making lather with the Tabac. It always seems to end up rich enough, with good cushion; but it is not very slick, and the blade drags in it. I love the aftershave, and it's one of the least expensive I have.
