Today's shave was excellent. Today I was craving an old school style barbershop scented soap, so I went with Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their modern day classic, C.a.D. scented soap. The scent on this is a much stronger & richer version of a certain canned shave foam scent from the 1970's & 1980's. I won't name that sorry excuse for a company because of the way they treat artisans & other people. And to finish off today's shave I went with the matching aftershave which is one of my longest lasting aftershaves:
The Gillette Shield was perfect. I was squeaky clean & slick as black ice after 2.5 passes. The post shave is so comfortable, that I got zero burn from the aftershave which is a really good thing. This was also the last time that I will be face lathering. I ordered their new shatter proof scuttle which I can't wait to use. I'm also betting that the scents of these soaps will really pop even more when I start to use that scuttle for each & every shave. I'm going to hold off from shaving until my new soaps & gear arrives which I hope will be soon. Right now I'm waiting on shipping confirmation & tracking numbers. Hot lather makes a world of a difference when it comes to shaving.
