WEDNESDAY SHAVE w/ LAMBDA ARES V2

It's been 2 days since my last shave so I decided to use the Lambda Ares.  It never ceases to amaze me how great this Ares razor is.  It is efficient and extremely smooth.  It was my normal 3 pass shave with no buffing and a BBS result.  Best of all, no nicks, cuts or any irritation.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. New soap / splash day with the arrival of "King" soap and splash from Noble Otter. Great scent! A powdery, slightly sweet musk offset by notes of cedar with light oakmoss anchoring it. Incredibly creamy and slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '59 Gillette Fatboy, and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave lotion and Creed "Tabarome" EdP.

Hope you have a great day.
