Thur 24th Oct. RazoRock Syn. 24mm P & B Citra Royale Schick N3 Schick S/S Twin -Japan [ 2 ] Tuff Green A/S Lotion After a week with a TNNSER 3D I went back to a Razor rotation. I made a good choice as the N3 when fitted with a Twin Blade delivers a smooth Shave, with a good close finish not too dissimilar to the ones I have with the TNNSER.

Got a quick one in. Excellent shave with the brushless when I almost don’t have time for a shave. Two pass shave and some touch ups but only applied the brushless once.

Today’s shave. jmudrick was kind enough to let me try his OCCAM. I was curious about it because it has a unique way to load and hold the blade. It also looks really cool. Unfortunately that is where it ended for me. The shave was not pleasurable at all. I had 4 days growth to deal with. It struggled to cut. I thought I might have had a dud blade. So I changed it out. That is an easy process. With another new blade the same thing. I also found the handle to be extremely ungainly. I stopped after the first pass and went with my experimental SE. this did wonderful. I finished off with some VEG. So I smell and feel fantastic.

24 October -- First time with a new-to-me Le Coq Lather Catcher. This french lady was not to be trifled with, and she wasn't much of a "lady" with me. I did a two-pass-and-mostly-no-touchup shave (a little something I've been trying....only 2-passes and no touch-up or clean-up pass), and I ended up with a pretty close, sort-of comfortable shave....and some irritation on my lower neck that is so concentrated and red that it can only be described as a hickey (i.e., "a mark caused by a lover biting the skin"). So my technique with this beauty needs work, and I may be a masochist, but I'm looking forward to putting in the time to figuring out how to get a slightly closer more comfortable shave with this razor. I also had to use a plastic wedge-adapter/simulator over a de-spined modern blade (GEM SS PTFE) since I haven't sharpened either of the wedge blades that came with the razor. The other thing to note is the extraordinarily LONG teeth in the comb. The soap was Haslinger Schafmilch lathered with a RazoRock 24mm Plissoft. Here are a few pics: The stock wedge gives a nice shave on that one. I did a video on it.

Declaration Grooming | Massacre of the Innocents DrivenLegend Red & Black | APShaveCo Tuxedo 30mm Ever-Ready SE | Delta Echo | Gem PTFE Parfums de Marly | Herod I am quite pleased to have acquired one of the latest offerings from Declaration Grooming. Massacre of the Innocents is influenced by Parfums de Marly's Herod EdP. After using MOTI just once, I was compelled to pick up a bottle of Herod. This is a lovely cool weather fragrance. The soap and splash do a nice job of approximating the essence of Herod but certainly can't begin to replace it as there is a level of depth and intricacies that are simply not possible to duplicate in the soap or splash medium. I will thus restrict the following impressions to that of MOTI which is quite enjoyable by itself, but if you find this to be pleasant, I strongly encourage you to acquire a bottle of Herod. You will not be disappointed. Massacre of the Innocents opens with spicy, woody vanilla with an understated cinnamon. It falls just sort of "festive" to me, and for that I'm grateful. From start to finish, the fragrance maintains this warm, cozy, smoky vanilla, but the cinnamon fades in favor of wood and resin. This is soon met with a well-blended tobacco and cedar essence that's reminiscent of a walk-in humidor where the sweeter blends are just inside the entrance. The whole accord swells and ultimately acquires a conservative pleasant musk base without abandoning the warm, smoky, vanilla and woods. With regard to performance, this was my second use of Declaration Grooming's "milksteak" base, and it continues to impress. It loads a bit more intuitively than Icarus, but from a personal perspective, nothing will replace the unique marshmallow cream loading of their prior bison tallow base. Milksteak lathers just as easily, requiring a typical amount of water, but going just a bit beyond that will raise the performance level. The results are a dense, creamy lather that's quite reminiscent of Icarus. After having used this twice, I feel like the primary and residual slickness that was already outstanding in Icarus, has been improved upon with Milksteak. The post-shave is stellar, but given the performance of today's most elite artisanal soaps, I can't say Milksteak has made a dramatic level change. It's just difficult to even conceive of something beyond perfect which is where I believe about five artisans are right now, yet they're all quite different. Some post-shaves have a natural feel, as if I'd never dragged a blade across my scalp. Others provide a moisturized sensation, and some of those last all day long. Then there are others that leave my scalp feeling silky. I really enjoy all of these "types" of post-shave. My impression of Milksteak is that it's in the "natural" category. I don't want to be the one to pump the hype brakes, because this base is without question one of the best I've used. However, it seems like a natural progression from an artisan who is attempting to tweak as opposed to overhaul. One aspect I have not mentioned, yet is probably important to some, is the animalic coloring from the Icarus base. I did note this with Icarus, particularly with it's debut fragrance, Santal Auster, but it didn't particularly bother me. I found that airing out the tub was enough to mitigate this effect. In more robust fragrances like Darkfall, I never picked up on these overtones as compared to the bison base. It is my understanding that Milksteak strives to overcome this hurdle, and it may have been the impetus for the formula change. I certainly looked for the animalic coloring in this base, but I could not detect it. Since I was never particularly sensitive to it, I'll let others make that judgment. As per Jason Rudman's review of the unscented Milksteak, it would seem to be a non-issue, now, and that alone may very well be the reason some "upgrade" their favorite scents from Declaration Grooming.
