CHARCOAL LEV3 / PERSONNA PLATINUM / SIMPSON CHUBBY 1 / CASTLE FORBES / CD FAFRENHEIT AS

Love the color coordination.

Sunday January 3,2021
Razor: Schick Type F Injector
Blade: Schick (2)
Brush: Dragonsbeard by Knothead Brushworks
Soap: Penhaligon's Endymion Cream
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Nivea Deep
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Endymion Cologne

Wanted to try this new to me cream with one of my favorite scents. It didn't work up a lather like I remember when I used the C.O. Bigelow Cream regularly many many years ago in my early years. I will try a bowl lather next time to see if I can dial it in better. Still adequate although the scent could be stronger for me. 2nd outing with the F Type Injector and I am sooo glad I found one of these fairly reasonable. It gives a perfect injector shave for me even though I was told some feel it isn't a great shaver. Not sure what those individuals gripe was so I can't address it. It works for me. Topped off with Nivea Deep and the Endymion Cologne so ready for somecoffee and Pumpkin Chocalate Chip muffin and whatever the day has to offer. Everyone have a seriously fun day !!!

January 3, 2021 SOTN

Prep: Cold water; Grooming Dept Preshave

Brush: Chubby 2 Synthetic

Razor: Haircut & Shave Po76

Blade: Persona Super (3)

Lather: Barrister and Mann Seville

Lather Bowl: Captain’s Choice Heavyweight Cooper

Post Shave: Alum block

Post Shave: Barrister and Mann Nordost, with a squirt of Zingari Serum and a few drops of WS-23

Post Shave: Barrister and Mann Seville Balm

Notes: 

Seville is my favorite scent of all time. 

I used the Nordost splash (since Seville not available) - also a lovely scent, and it pairs quite well. 

I have a trouble spot on my right hand side on the corner of my chin. The way the hair grows it is very hard to shave against the grain with my right hand. So I have experimented using my left hand, and it works quite well. 

The Persona Super was a bit tuggy for me on the 3rd use... not my favorite blade. 

I also decided to use the alum a bit to see what the feedback is. 

I also greatly enjoy using the WS-23 drops in the aftershave (nice cooling sensation that lasts longer than an hour).
