Flawless shave. This blade was made for the Tatara adjustable.

Tabac Craftsman is awesome. It's like Invictus but a tad less sweet and a bit more mature. It's amazing.

The Paolo Barrasso TFS/MastroMiche soaps are awesome. I think they're worth the price. You have to like florals though. (Which I do).

10/10

Amazing shave. FYI, Goodfellas Smile store now ships to USA. They were quick, and they are the main TFS dealer.

This soap smells like CK1 in the most awesome way. Went perfectly with L'Eau D'Issey. Amazing shave.

10/10

The Abbate Y La Mantia, Laureato soap arrived to day. It smells awesome... like bay (rum without cloves) with floral.


Broke out the Occams... meh...
8.5/10

Congratulations!

Btw, rasoi goodfellas has new tubs of uncle Walter soap.

They ship to USA now. Get on it.

I bought an extra two tubs of Uncle Walter soap when the supply was drying up two years ago... plus I have another 1/2 tub that I'm still working on.
On the other hand, if they reissue the after shave, I'd grab two bottles.

Anyone who doesn't have any Uncle Walter should definitely get some!!!! Join the Cult of Uncle Walter now!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally epic shave with my new Bobby moffett Grateful Dead brush.

New tfs soap. Epic. Got to use my badass black frog Portugal bowl.

Tatara is still killing it. It excels with these Israeli personna blades.

Homemade aftershave. Chypre I made for my wife mixed with vodka, witch hazel, and castor oil. I might tweak it a bit. Probably less witch hazel and less castor oil.

Sunday:

This stuff was awesome. This TFS set smells a bit like Massacre of the Innocents. Like tobacco flower + tonka bean + Amber. Very sweet. Good stuff. Just light enough for summer. Great shave.
10/10

Today:

Today was even better. This Yates high plate was freakin awesome. I forget how smooth the Blue Platinum is. Just crazy. Great soap. Awesome Cologne.
10/10

The Occams sucks.... everything else is awesome!!!!
8/10

The snooty laureato guy rules. I love him. I might buy it just because it’s awesome looking.

Flufnuns smells better, but the Laureato smells interesting enough... even if it could be a bit more pungent.
I give it two thumbs up!


Geno...
did you try the Garibaldi yet?

I haven’t tried it yet. It’s been too freakin hot here lately. It’s kind of a heavy scent. Reminds me of rr puros.

I said Garibaldi was too heavy for summer. I sad "fuck it" today, and just went for it. I'm glad i did. It smells just like RR Puros. I love it. Smells like I'm smokin cigars in the tropics. VERY enjoyable. Great shave.

10/10

Smoking cigars in the tropics? Man, that sounds like heaven on earth!

Yup... me too! They also make aftershave splash!!! I'm fucked!!!

Lemme know what you think of it after you use it

Pretty good shave. Very refreshing. Great lather. GC84 was ok, but left me scratching my head. It felt sort of mild, but sort of inefficient. Weird, since this is a relatively straight forward, fairly aggressive razor. Hmm.

This TiBam Wildcat handle rules. Ultra light.

I'll go 10/10 because I feel great.

Will do.. I will post a full reveiw.

I have a bunch of aylm stuff on the way.
Vulcano aftershave
Crumiro aftershave
Laureato soap
Krokos soap
Don Jose soap
Buttero soap.

Pasteurs has 15% off everything. (They only have aylm soap. No aftershave)

Razor co has a couple of aylm aftershaves for $21-22

I was wondering about the Don Jose... coconut and banana... sound weird but, I bet they made it work.

Except for using Occam's twice this past week, I've been using the SLOC with the Mad Max handle, every day for a few weeks...what a great razor.
Today, I whipped out the Rex Adjustable and inserted a new Feather Stainless blade.
OMG!!!! I guess the Rex was set too high! Totally newbed out!!!
Right side = 2/10
Left side =9/10

Oh fuck! You need to take a few days off. Sorry you disfigured yourself.


Good shave. The charcoal goods level 2 rocks with the wildcat handle.
Extro good. Adp good. Wild West brush good.

9/10 because I suspect there was something up with this blade. I think one side of it had a burr. No wonder I thought it was strange in the game changer.

Oh fuck is right!

Funny thing is, I didn't feel any of that while I was shaving... it felt like I was on my way to a 10/10.
