I forget how smooth the Slant 37 is. Superslant is definitely more efficient, but Slant 37 easily an autopilot razor. Yaqi didn't break new ground at all with it but added on to Merkur 37C design with a wider head to hide blade tabs. I appreciate the 316L stainless steel instead of zamak.
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (Green) (2)
Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
Aftershave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Aftershave
Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Eau de Parfum
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This is one of those scents that takes me places. The description references laying a leather jacket on some tires and cleaning your guns on it, but this takes me way back to my father's garage/shop; a garage that never had a car in it unless we were working on one. A lot of people don't like this scent, including the females in my family. In the same way that insect repellent keeps the bugs away, The Stag™ also has its uses.
I don't think it needed it, but I gave this razor some Chromium Oxide treatment. I got an excellent shave from it!
This Noble Otter soap has the ring of death going, so maybe it'll be my next victim. I absolutely love the theme of the soap, but the scent has always been just sort of "meh" for me. It's light, sweet, and inoffensive. It has a bubble gum vibe to it.
Minneapolis 5.3 is a wonderful scent, and I'll be sad when my sample is gone.
Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid knot
Razor: HNDRX razor
Blade: Derby Premium half-DEs
Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia - Blu Tobacco
Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master
Post Shave: Alterra Men Sensitive ASB
2 passes on the head. Lots of weepers unfortunately, very rough shave.
This shave was done before my night shift and I kinda wish I had left everything alone after just one pass. Overall a rather irritating shave, probably because of some recent skin issues on my scalp.

1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG. Comfortably close shave.
Hopefully I can get back in a more regular shaving routine soon!

Awesome shave with Santa Paula this morning. I'm glad to have a tub of this in the den.
TFIF!
