SOTD - 4/20/2024

Barrister and Mann Passiflora
OUMO shaving brush Ding Hand Tied M2 Manchuria Knot
C.V. Heljestrand MK30 Vintage Straight Razor (won this razor on Barber Dave’s Shaves & Such YouTube Channel)

From the Barrister and Man Website:

Introducing Passiflora, an elegant, sophisticated, spicy fougère that plays on the green soapiness of galbanum oil. This unusual inclusion is buttressed with cinnamon, bergamot, rose, geranium, lavender, and tonka bean, and overlaid with the rich, tangy, slightly acidic edge of a truly fine passion fruit accord.IMG_9589.jpeg

Love Proraso green shave cream and balm eucalyptus and mint scent, but aftershave is very weak especially in its mint scent. Very cooling menthol effect. I heard 1 youtuber say it's all good except the aftershave. Because he said it smelled like urinal cakes, I almost commented back. When did you started smelling urinal cakes eeeww!🤣🤣🤣

I have that brush, pretty good synthetic brushes. Even though I kinda like Silvertip Badger over synthetics now. Use synthetic hor travel mainly.
 
Could get myself to try the 1987 vintage Atra Plus cartridge razor, but nice add to my vintage collection.
Razor used is a 1908 Gillette open comb with Gillette Platinum blade 7th use
Gillette Brush plus is pretty decent, only a tiny amount of residual slickness. Forgot how scratchy that fishing line nylon bristles are. Lathers pretty decent gor it's age.
Nivea sensitive shave balm(not shown)
Gillette verlande aftershave. Never smelled this before, it's OK. But definitely not preferred.
Finished with some Yardley original talc

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant day.

Best shave of the week today. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their wonderful "11235" shave soap. Excellent 4711 scent and incredible lather built with the Paladin "Tigris Perla" 2-Band Select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with Mugler 4711 after shave splash and EdC.

Hope you've had a great day. :)

PAA "11235" Shave Soap / Paladin "Tigris Perla" 2-Band Select Badger Brush / Rockwell 6S
Wizamet / Alum / Mugler "4711" After Shave Splash / Mugler "4711" EdC
