It really kind of flies under the radar
That sounds like a great setup for a month! I’d like to grab some Jicky at some point.

This set showed up yesterday, alongside Armonia.
First time whiffing the scent and I thoroughly enjoy it. Dark and spicy, there’s a lot in here I enjoy. I need to grab the EdP. u/gcgallant you will probably really enjoy this one, if you haven’t checked it out already.
This 10/8 made by Roman Kamlash is probably the 2nd best shaver in my den. To some, the size seems intimidating, but really it’s super comfortable to handle and very easy to index. Some may struggle with keeping no pressure, as it is as heavy as an 8/8 near wedge. If you’re comfortable with that facet of technique, however, it shaves like a dream. Roman’s steel is top notch and rivals just about any out there, new or old.
Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.
Oh nice choice! Which set?

I just had this Armonia set land today, courtesy of u/chicagogroomingco, for my LG prize. Thank you again, Vida!
The scent is very nice, with a lot of tobacco leading the way, which I was hoping it would. Darkwing is super slick and pairing it with the Iberia is always a treat.
Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.

I ended up being super busy and didn’t have a chance for a shave until late. Even now I’m pressing it. I’ll be brief.
This was my first time with AYLM. I had a little trouble building my lather on my first pass. I think I under loaded. The chill was strong, but not too strong. The scent was better than I was anticpating. Not overpowering or, in a way, synthetic(?) smelling, like candies. It was pleasant and fits summer well. This could be a good scent for hitting a summer BBQ.
My second pass I loaded more and had better results. Primary and residual slickness were there. Nothing that wow’d me, necessarily, but nothing to complain about. If I wasn’t in a rush, I’m sure I could have gotten more out of it. Luckily, I have enough to try again.
My Splash pairing was less about scent pairing and more about vibe. It was just great summer scents all around. The scents did pair nicely, but that’s just coincidence!
Overall, good shave. I wish I hadn’t been in a hurry.
I’m looking forward to my shave this evening after a hot day outside!

Barbershop day today! Went and got myself a Fresh Cut Fade. Dude I went to is solid and does clean work. Honestly, I should go to him on a regular basis. He’s very consistent. He can’t shave with an open blade
I also shaved off my full goatee today. Rocked that one for over a year. No trimming, 3 passes, no nicks. Still got it.
I’ll probably keep clean shaven for another week or so, then start forming another one. I enjoy wearing a goatee. The Mrs also likes me with a little facial hair too.
That’s a really nice shave! I almost went with RS and a 14 also, but I’ve been sitting on some Spanish soap all LG. My hand was forced.
Yeah, Shawn and Dennis just crush it when it comes modernizing those classic scents.
I really like the opening but I’m especially fond of the dry down. It’s really almost two different scents at that point, to my nose.

I had to take a small break to focus on LG. I can only handle so much typing. Even if it’s just to copy and paste.
First time trying out this Malva-Rosa. The scent is really nice. Pretty much just rose and geranium. I had a hard time sniffing out any of the Dragon’s Blood. Paired up super well with Two Kings.
Performance was really good. Didn’t take much effort to build and wasn’t crazy thirsty or anything. Slicker than snot. Both primary and residual were great.
This Farvour just showed up from u/EldrormR. The Mags SHD are fantastic knots.
This Iberia is amazing. I will go so far as to say it is the best feeling razor I have shaved with.
RIP ABC

Mrs. Pudding’s pick today, as I am too sick to smell anything. Nice shave, though!
You most certainly do!
