Brush:  Rudy Vey Seablue PJ
Soap: Ariana & Evans Aqua de Boracay
Razor: Paradigm Diamondback Ti
Blade: Nacet
Aftershave: none needed
Scent:  Bulgari Aqua Marine

SO..... today was the last day of the Diamondback Ti pass around generously -- the razor generously provided by Andy at Paradigm Shaveware and organized by dtownvino. I was the last person in the pass around.

And not only was I the last person, but I loved trying out this razor so much that I purchased it -- the pass around razor -- from Andy.  If nothing else, saved myself having to clean it and ship it to him.....  But really, of course, it is because this is a fabulous razor.  I now understand the love Diamondbacks have engendered.  The razor is gorgeously done and the shave effortless and without any irritation.  Day after day I found it so and I couldn't resist purchasing it, although I had no desire to get another razor right now.

Hi Guys,

The version of the Oumo brush I am testing is becoming more and more open - it is still very smooth but the backbone is now inexistant ...

Such a shame - I like to have a minimum of backbone and hairs that can exfoliait the skin ...



Have a nice day !

Another smooth & easy shave from the Yaqi razor. The blade though may have to be binned after this one though as I needed an extended buffing session to clear out some stragglers along the chin. Fresh one next time.
Great shaves to all…

Still working on the Stirling Barbershop sample. The 1 oz samples last awhile when in rotation.

The bee combo was delightful. The Charcoal Lvl 3 is very efficient and remarkably smooth for how efficient it is. The Brad Sears Beehive is wonderful.
