Need to use Irving Park more. Its RG dupes and inspirations are probably my favorite “barbershop” scents.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very quick and nice shave this morning. Just gettting around to posting it now.

Lots of Tobacco in this shave. Connecticut Shade is a bit on the sweet side, but followed by Trail Tobacco, and the wonderful Tobacconist, it’s a good start.

Great lather and excellent results. Whatever illness I caught over the weekend has moved into my nose/sinuses, so I can’t smell a damn thing. Very smooth shave though!

May 12th, 2025: Near Wedge
I’m still in the process of restoring this Joseph Rogers & Sons near wedge that I bought for $5. Of course I then spent about $12 on Dremel attachments to clean the blade up, plus all the time sharpening, honing, stropping, etc… but for $5 this razor seems to be an absolute bargain.
It didn’t pass the packing-peanut test made famous by @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social, but it wasn’t tuggy at all. In fact, I might even go as far as saying this has been my favorite straight razor shave to date!!!
This shave really surprised me, because after honing it last night I was certain that it wasn’t ready to shave with… but I tried it anyway and man… I’m smitten.
