Razor: Rex Supply Co. Ambassador 

Blade: Personna Red (1st use)

Brush: Omega Boar Hair 

Soap: Col. Conk Almond 

Aftershave: Ginger’s Garden Almond

Slick and enjoyable scent. 

The skin food in the splash was evident hours after in my post feel. 

The larger knot on this brush gave it amazing splay.

Razor: Feather Artist Club Shavette 

Blade: Feather Professional (2nd use)

Brush: Rich Hansen Custom Handle, 24MM Synthetic Tuxedo Knot 

Soap: Wholly Kaw Merchant of Tobacco 

Aftershave Balm: Wholly Kaw Merchant of Tobacco

Comments/Overall Thoughts: My technique with this razor has improved substantially, where I have decided to revisit it twice in the last week. I’m always impressed how this gets those hard to get spots with ease that some DE razors struggle with. 

As always Wholly Kaw lathered easily and provided a wonderful consistency. This scent is sweet, but enjoyable. As weird as this description sounds it almost reminds me of a Tootsie Roll combined with the tobacco notes.

Razor: 1959 Gillette $1.95 “Fatboy”

Blade: Gillette 7’Clock (4th use)

Brush: Maggard Synthetic 22MM in Bronze 

Soap: Strike Gold Shave Ike Shave Stick

Aftershave: Strike Gold Shave Ike 

Comments/Overall Thoughts: Definitely a cleaner scent and somewhat floral to my nose (likely the Violet note). Overall pretty good scent, I have yet to try one of the scents in this lineup or made by Jennifer that I didn’t like. I pulled out the vintage Fatboy for this shave which was produced during Ike’s second term.
