Stubble Daddy’s Shave Journal of Awesomeness and Honesty ...

Yeah, same as Dave, glad the roof stayed on and you're still in Kansas (or, rather, the PNW!)

Is the Envoy adjustable, or is that the Ambassador? Looks like a sturdy piece of equipment!

The Envoy is not adjustable, the Ambassador is. I believe the Envoy is a "3" on the Ambassador adjustment dial (right in the middle)

Initially I was tempted to buy the Ambassador, but got a good deal on a used Envoy in he BST... luckily the aggression is absolutely perfect for me.

They really nailed the grip, weight and balance too. Honestly, one of the very best razors I've owned.

Razor: WSC Winning
Brush: Trotter Handcrafts - “El Creador Oscuro” w/ 26mm SHD Knot
Soap: 345 Soap Co. “Fresh Cut Fade”
Aftershave: 345 Soap Co. “Fresh Cut Fade”
Blade: Wizamet

Just picked up this new soap as I’ve heard great things about the base and scents. It’s also attractively priced at $17 for 5.8 oz!

Scent off the puck was a bright, modern, citrus forward barber shop-like scent. I got pretty excited about how this one smelled. It’s a scent I think nearly everyone would enjoy. Scent strength is strong!

The lather was top-shelf all the way. Very slick, lots of cushion, gooey fun. Seemed to hold together through the entire 4-pass shave like a champ.

I’d put this soap base in the “excellent” category… hangs with the the best out there.

The splash is alcohol free but did give me a little burn… maybe from the fragrance, as it’s strong just like the soap. Definitely left my face feeling tacky and smooth (which I sorta like).

All in all a winner set from 345!

BEAUTIFUL pic. Sounds like the soap would be a win for me but not the splash. Dave no like tacky

Ditto, might need to look into this one at some point. Definitely a great review Paul! Thanks for the recommendation.

Awesome brush, too!

Not yet banned on B&B... but I'll keep trying.

What an exciting day! Jesse ( jesseix  ) was super kind and let me borrow his Timeless Titanium setup! Wow, this is one beautiful razor. So well machined... and light! I've owned many Titanium razor handles, but never owned, or even used a Titanium razor head. 

I'm very familiar with the Stainless .95 plate (it's easily one of my favorite and most used razors), so I started with using the .95 Ti plate first, but then switched back and fourth a couple times with the "slim" plate to see which I like better. The first thing that jumped out at me is how fast and smooth this razor was. I had to force myself to slow down! The .95 plate puts more flex on the blade, so there was definitely less blade feel compared to the Slim. The Slim head instantly reminded me of the Wolfman WR1. Plenty of blade feel and aggressive while still under control.

There was a different face feel with Titanium, although I can't put my finger on it and think of a way to describe it fully... hmm

Overall, the shave was a great one! Very close, very smooth... fun! And if I'm being honest, I don't know which baseplate I liked more. They both excelled and were winners. I'll need a few more uses with them, but yes, this is one special razor. Thank you so much Jesse for letting me borrow this exceptional razor! I sincerely appreciate it.

Oh, the soap and splash were also new arrivals yesterday but overshadowed by the Timeless

Sweet & Dandy has a strong, sweet scent off the puck, but radically changed into a robust coffee/expresso scent. Very unique, very strong... amazing performance/lather as expected.

First time I ever used a T&S Splash too... nice list of ingredients, great face feel. But another super strong scented product. So much so that my Wife informed me it was causing her to have a headache, and therefore I was quarantined to the bathroom with a fan on for a timeout. haha

Great shave … well except for the headache part

Been there and done that! Back in my early traditional shave days, I got carried away with scented soaps and triggered a sinus headache. That January of 2016 is when I officially became scentsless!

Wife is very happy now that I can enjoy shaving and NOT give her a headache!

Titanium is just a MUCH softer feel is the only way I can describe it. I learned that with the Blackbird in Titanium verses the SS. Great shave !

Yes, "softer" is a great way to describe it Dave. Thank you.
