A great shave. I have used only one Perma-Sharp Super blade, but based on my experience with it for a week, I would rate it equal to the Super Iridium in sharpness, smoothness, and durability. However, I still prefer the vintage Wilkinson Light Brigades.

Beautiful, Luis!

I've been a big fan of Eno since the 70's.  This new album, "The Ship",  is more art than pop, more ambience than song, but entertaining and engaging nonetheless.  I'm listening to the clear vinyl limited edition which is accompanied by four art prints.  The music is spread over two discs.

The scent of the Cosmo is addictive and the performance is excellent so it's moved up quickly in the rotation.  The Varlet Orion is always a joy to use so it comes up in the rotation regularly.  I'm using the Cobra every day for a while to get to know it better, we're becoming close friends quickly.  I'll finish with a Saponificio Varesino AS. All good stuff.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Same gear as yesterday. Wanted to make sure it was either a close BBS, or a BBS shave. Today it was a BBS shave for sure. The TGN Finest is a great knot, you wouldn't go wrong buying this Finest Badger knot. The Schick injector is an excellent shave tool. This is the 5th shave with this blade and is still performing great.

Route 66 The Black Pearl is another amazing shaving soap from Route 66.

Myrsol Blue is also an outstanding A/S.

I call this Katie's as this is what she bought me, that got me into wet shaving.

All Bluebeards Revenge.

I have the razor and cream, however, I didn't know Bluebeards Revenge had all the other products. Great picture.
