LGC might be my scent for this summer. Fun, fresh, and who doesn't like a coke when it's warm?

  No compulsory drug tests where you are working?

Brush: Chisel & Hound - Cherry w/ v25 Fanchurian
Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Ti
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Crangère - Soap
Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - Crangère - Aftershave
Fragrance: Catie's Bubbles - Crangère - EdP
First full use of the Crangère trifecta. I love the EdP, but the jury is still out on the soap. Lather is amazing, but sometimes I don't want a full perfume level scent in a soap. Maybe I just should have waited for a different day to use it.

Brush: Yaqi 24mm Synthetic Panda
Razor: King C. Gillette DE Razor
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (39)
Lather: Haslinger Algae
Postshave: Williams Aqua Velva
Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Repeat shave from yesterday. The blade is not the most efficient anymore – but I will probably still push it to 50, and then give up.
Have a good evening!

Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
Razor: Joseph Rogers & Sons - Near Wedge (2)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Rhapsody - Soap
Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Sni Mato - Aftershave
This is my second shave with this razor, and both times have been incredible. Some folks might consider this edge unacceptable -- slightly tuggy, a little ugly, and a non-traditional sharpening method of 600 -> 10,000, but it works.
Even my best DE shaves don't often get this close. I still plan on putting more work into this razor, both cosmetically and trying to refine the edge a bit.

  How dare you, good Sir, how dare you!
  
  Experts ain't got shit on me.

Very nice tart woody scent. Such a pleasure to shave with. The 921-M felt a little rough today, I probably need to bin this blade.
