Cool new titanium handle from timeless. Awesome.
Mamba 70 is nice but the shark stainless on shave 2 sucks. Dang. One and done. Big time. Should have known better.
Promises is awesome. Rush is awesome.
9/10 because of the blade.

Nope. New timeless polished crown titanium. $60. Best deal for a handle this fancy. Beautiful and light.

Pretty good today. These weird mild razorock razors are a nice changeup. BBS with Timeless Crown handle.
So, these Gillette Winner Stainless blades are from India. made by......VERITICE GLOBAL! (The brand that makes Euromax, and other sketchy 3rd worldy knock off type blades.) They're good blades. I love it.
Lonestar is a good scent. VERY unique. Great NO performance as usual.
This is my 24mm Maggard SHD Bobby Moffett Brush. Cool shit.
10/10

FUck this razor. Yates makes it for the Wet shaving club. I want to like it so badly, but it's a draggy mess. The handle even has a sweet little magnet on the bottom for picking up your blade off of the vanity. It's ingenious, but the geometry + the acid wash finish results in a razor that will NOT slide on your face. Part of me wants ot try to polish the thing. I don't really like selling stuff to strangers anymore.
Roam is AWESOME. I'm SO glad i got the soft hear Roam. I smell like grass, dirt, and fire.
8/10 because screw this razor.

Interesting shave. Gillette Heritage. the first one. Zinc. Made in Germany. Comes with a cool case. Threaded like the old stuff from the 30's/40's/50's/etc. Got it for like $20. Looks cool. Feels cool. Handle RULES. Shave SUCKS. I just couldn't get a good shave. It's the curse of the 89 shape (which is essentially what this is). It's a beginner's razor. With the angle locked in, and positive pressure, I can't get my face smooth. Oh well. The handle and the case were worth $20 to me.
Bobby Moffett (That Darn Rob's Dad) gave me this brush just for being a loyal customer. It feels awesome. It's like 9 pieces of wood. Beautiful waxy finish. V9 Fanchurian knot too! Class act. I love him.
Zingari Wanderer rules. What a good base. I like this scent because it smells like my Mom's perfume. (nothing like a barbershop).
Marmara #14 is a Terre D'Hermes clone. A good one too. Awesome for the price is an understatement.
9/10. Face feels good. I smell good. I could probably shave again today though.

Funny how one razor works for some people but not others. The Gillette reissue razor reminds me of the SLOC... just a nice, mild shave.
I used your old Rex adjustable this morning, set to 3.5, with a Bruce Lee.... 10/10

It is amazing.
I had a wicked 5oc shadow going at 1pm.
The Rex at 3.5 would tear me up with a good blade, let alone a rusty shank like the Bruce Lee.

I tried the O, Delight! It’s not a bad scent, but I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to be. They say it’s Turkish Delight, but I have no frame of reference. The balm seems to keep its scent reasonably well, but it isn’t as potent as the splash.
The coffee-scented balm is going to be interesting. I’m not sure if it’s going to be good, but it will be interesting.

Seaforth fuckin rules. Oh my gosh. Amazing. Great scent. Great performance. They have an ultra limited heather alcohol splash and heather edt right now. I just bought it.
Fougeres are where it’s at right now. It feels like spring.
Razor rocks. So does my Bobby moffett gift brush.
10/10

You’re welcome dude. It’s a Parker semi slant. Made in India.

It's a solid, well made razor... I never would have guessed it was a Parker! Amazing!
Thanks again bro!!!!
BTW, I'm planning a non-shave-related package for you. There's absolutely nothing shave-related that I can send to you but, I do have a few surprises that I know you will like.

interesting one today.
Godrej lemon cream SUCKS. Smells like an abandoned car wash. It burned my face too. Lather was piss poor. I even tried to prime my brush before hand. Just total disaster.
Laser platinum blade = Cheapo blade from India. Not from Supermax. actually decent.
New Bobby Moffett Brush with Milton Shoat full gel Boar.
Muhle birch Rocca Razor is awesome as always.
Pinaud Tequila Tease = friggin awesome.
B&M Fougere Angelique EDP = also friggin awesome. Goes great with Pinaud Tequila because of the lime.
9/10 since I still got a decent shave.

Brew-Ha-Ha is the strangest aftershave I have ever used. It smells like coffee and black currant liqueur. But I don’t hate it today.
