ETHOS Succès~~Simpson PL8~~Dubl Duck Goldedge

Have a great day!

Sept. 14, 2020 - Incredible Icarus

Prep: Hot Shower
Brush: Jefferson Tobias B9A
Razor: Gillette RFB Tech
Blade: Gillette Platinum (4)
Lather: Declaration Grooming - Chaipre - Soap
Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - Chaipre - Aftershave
Fragrance: Zoologist Perfumers - Panda - Extrait de Parfum

Can't go wrong with Chaipre in Icarus. I find icarus quite easy to use as it's a base I'm used to: takes a little longer to load (as it's a harder puck) but when loaded with enough water, it lathers up very quickly and forms a thick, smooth lather. I personally prefer it over milksteak. Anyway, great shave today as the scent here is one of my favourites.

RFB is was good today - I wasn't as conscious about the open comb feel while shaving. I think I'm getting used to it. Overall, great shave.

Panda is a nice scent - the initial blast of apple goes away quickly leaving a 'softer' scent that smells like a green scent to me - light and not overpowering. It's a good one but not my fav from the zoologist set I have.

Rooney 3/2 Ivory Finest (24/58)
Floris No. 89 shaving soap (tallow)
Carbon Damascus/Rockwell Elite
Schick Plus Platinum (12)
Floris No. 89 aftershave (vintage)

I have decided that it is not just my imagination: the Damascus and Mokume shave better - closer and with more feedback - than the regular Carbon 316L, for some reason.

Sebum Purple set/ Druida Luxury/ Oneblade Genesis/ SC Integrity balm

Lately the shaves just keep getting better and better!  This was a fun one with the Wacker finished on my Charnley Forrest, and a ridiculous spike point!  

The LE Wholly Kaw shave soap and balm were out of this world!

Happy Shaves everyone!
