Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Razor: Kamisori

Brush: Simpson Chubby !!

Soap: La Toja Manantiales

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

AS: Aqua Velva

Summary: Don't ask me the name of the kamisori . It needed to be honed and it's not mine. I took the opportunity to take it for a full shave. The more I use the LTM soap the more I'm starting to love it. For me personally I rank MDC on bit higher scale but the LTM is very close. It's just different. I also love the fact I can nicely layer it on my face and it has a clean fresh scent. Either way I got a clean, extremely close shave. It put a big smile on my face. I couldn't shave with a kamisori each and every time but occasionally I really enjoy using one.

Time's flying so gents keep it up! Great participation from everyone. Old and new.

Great shave, the Raw Vanilla is starting to challenge my Bavx as my number one pick fragrance, two pass shave, minor touch up, the weather is a bit of a let down, still i'm off to the food festival being held down at the Cardiff bay and it's always nice to visit Cardiff such a nice city. I would love to move there, but house prices are at least 30 or 40% more expensive,

RESULTS: QUIET,RELAXED,SMOOTH SHAVE

After a long Saturday of working, a late night shave was in Dire need. I have been face lathering the past few shaves and think Im really starting to like it, I might make it my main preference of lathering and the bomb in Vetiver lathers so great straight to the face. The StaSharp is a force to be reckoned with, as it took away my 2 days growth with such ease. A perfect night shave

GUYS,THESE PHOTOS AND SHAVES ARE ALREADY EPIC, THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AMAZING WEEK !!!!

Matt,
I use the kitchen-table with different sheets of paper. And I use a flash.

Good morning Matt or evening, all depends which side of the Atlantic you live, regarding the Vulfix Persian Musk, I like it a lot, it's very rich and creamy, lathers up very easily, it's not overly scented, so you could run this with quite a few different scents, it certainly would not be the defining note in the shave. I would certainly give it my thumbs up.

Jamie
