Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
I almost did a repeat of yesterday's shave this morning because it was so nice. But, I instead decided to go with ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Bergamotto" soap and splash set. Wonderful cool, fresh, citrus-green scent with excellent lather built with the Paladin "Falstaff" 2-band select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Karve Christopher Bradley razor and I finished with the matching skin food splash and Tom Ford "Neroli Portofino" EdP.
Hope you have a great day.

I didn’t receive an email from Andy that they shipped. Hoping it will be soon. I’m so excited of the finished product, can’t wait. Cheers! Don’t let go of this Diamondback.
Razor: Paradigm Titanium Diamondback
Blade: Wizamet

Soap: Sir Henry's Kentucky Rain
AS : Witch Hazel + DCCS Small Batch Shave Tonic
Fragrance: Prada Luna Rossa Black
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,946
Kentucky Rain because....................it's pouring in KY and this scent lifts my spirits. The razor's weight is 2 ounces or 58 Grams. The handle length is 92 mm. The finish is not quite where Andy wants them but they will be there for those shipped. That said, It looks amazing as far as I'm concerned especially for a mass produced finish that will be consistent without effecting geometry and therefore the shave quality. Ah yes the shave........... WOW SOOOOOO worth the wait. It's been a hot minute since I've had my 2020 Diamondback and selling it was a big regret for awhile. It wasn't sold because I didn't like the razor but life happens. Those regrets are COMPLETELY erased now as this to me is the 2020 Diamondback on steroids. The comfort of the shave with this in Titanium is immediately noticed and as the shave progressed the effectiveness of the whisker removal was apparent as well. Just 1 shave in but already I'm Stoked.........I was after the 1st pass to be honest. Hats off to Andy for a winner of a design and finish product. Looking forward to a couple more shaves with 1 on video hopefully Friday so it can be seen in action before forwarding it to dtownvino Mike. Have a great day !
