30 September, 2024

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent "Astro Traveler" shave soap & splash. Great autumnal scent with notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit, Spiced Orange Zest, Black Pepper, Nutmeg, Saffron, Oakwood, Vetiver, and Tobacco. Fantastic lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Cu29" Sweet Spot badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Red Tip and I finished with the matching aftershave splash and vintage Pierre Cardin "Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur" EdC.

Hope you have a great day.

Shave of the Week Starting 9/30/2024

Razor - Colonial CR7
Blade - GSB
Brush - APShaveCo via TRC
Cream - Lea Menthol
Balm - Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S - Various

Colonial Razors have recently released the CR7 and just had to have one. It's available with 3 different base plates and I got all 3. Started with #1 base plate which is the mildest and it is very very mild for me. The shave was good but had to do an extra pass and lots of touchup. I usually do a 2 pass shave with minimal touchup. So I think plate #1 is not for me and will go with #2 tomorrow and see how it goes. Now go enjoy your day folks.
