Ethos Grooming Essentials Pineapple (Frank Lipani)
Alpha Shaving Works Futura Fatty - Copper C110
Brush by Opus Shaving Brushes

From the Ethos Grooming Essentials website:

At the heart of “Pineapple” is a Natural Pineapple Distillate, chosen for its bright, true-to-fruit character. It’s supported by two handcrafted infusions made from fresh pineapple chunks, capturing not just the sweetness but also the natural freshness, slight tartness, and juicy, golden vibrance of the fruit at its peak.

The aroma opens with a clean, sunlit tropical brightness—fresh and uplifting—then settles into a smoother, softly sweet warmth that remains natural and well-balanced without ever feeling heavy or artificial. The result is a true pineapple experience—radiant, refreshing, and quietly luxurious.

From the Alpha Shaving website:

Blade gap is 0.80mm

Exposure is neutral to slight positive depending on blades used

C110 Copper has long been valued in premium applications for its exceptional conductivity and distinctive character, offering a unique balance of performance and aesthetics. Known for its purity and workability, this high-grade copper is widely used in demanding fields such as electrical systems, thermal management, and precision components—where consistent performance matters.

Bringing this level of engineering into grooming, the Futura C110 Fatty is among the finest precision-machined safety razors crafted from C110 copper and is keenly priced.

The use of high-purity copper like C110 in elevated manufacturing has grown as makers sought materials with unmistakable presence and reliable performance. With its natural warmth and evolving patina over time, C110 copper has become a hallmark of premium craftsmanship—combining durability, tactile heft, and a distinctive finish that only gets better with age.

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Pal Injecto-Matic
Vintage PAL Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did one quick pass with the Pal Injecto-Matic razor with a Vintage PAL Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
 
First Shave with Tiasoto Duo that arrived today from TRC. Innovative concept that is very well manufactured. Fit, finish, and tolerances were all excellent. I found the aggressive side to be milder than I expected so I did two passes with it and third on mild. Super smooth and comfortable shave. Zero irritation or nicks. Overall a very nice razor, would be great for travel.

Proraso pre-shave, Omega EVO brush, Tatra blade in the Duo, Stirling Arance Mandarini soap, Thayers Facial Toner, HAGs Faceless, Stirling AM EPD.
