  • Doing a shave today with a new scent fro the folks at Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements. This one is an homage to Chanel Cuir De Russie. Also using the DOC Double Open Comb Ascension Select Razor, also from PAA. The Brush is another fine one from the folks at Frank Shaving.

    Top notes: Bergamot, Citrus, Neroli
    Middle notes: Rose, Carnation, Iris, Cedar, Jasmin, Ylang-Ylang
    Bottom notes: Amber, Leather, Musk, Tobacco, Birch, Vetiver, Vanilla
    Our homage to Cuir de Russie is based on the more recent EDP version, as opposed to the original 1927 formula. To my nose, the powdery, talc opening is toned down a bit while the tobacco & leather notes have been turned up a notch. When I first started this project, years ago now, I was not as singularly focused on discontinued scents as I became, which turned this endeavor into a much more challenging one. However, this scent, Chanel Cuir de Russie, was the fragrance that served as my inspiration to create the Continuum Collection and it is well worth sharing as our first in the series.

    Nice shave, Ken, thank you. I have the Ascension Select and I'd agree that it can be a daily driver, but with a caveat. It's a twist adjustable razor without any demarcations for how you've dialed it in. You adjust it with the whole handle as you tighten it down over the blade, so fully tight is the least aggressive setting. Also, as you back it off from fully tight, it gets more aggressive rather quickly (not even a full turn), so for those (like me) who have more sensitive skin, you have to be aware. I also find, as you mentioned, that you need to use an extra bit of caution as you shave to avoid weepers. Having said all that, I really like the results I get with it and it is not difficult to get a close, irritation-free shave (so sayeth the alum block). Thanks again and cheers.

    Great shave Ken. I have seen these CK6 on a few English shaving websites but i haven't got round to getting any yet. With me, i like to use up one thing at a time. I'm on my last soap of Edwin Jagger, (Aloe Vera) scent. I surprised you haven't tried these Yorkshire soaps of edwin Jagger? I once put a review on their website stating, your Soaps are the best for someone who is going towards traditional wet shaving from those shaving cans gels etc.

    Nice shave and review. Next time you use the Ascension you need to try the twist adjustability. Maybe you have and I missed that video? I've been tempted to get that razor but I've weaned myself from going down the rabbit hole 😉

    I have the three originals, Nickle DOC, the Ascension CNC Stainless Steel version, then a Cu(copper)CNC version. A bunch of versions were made like the Select. Great shavers all, the Cu is real heavy FYI. Nice shave and results Ken, too bad no big burn though...😒

    The Ascension razor is on my list to buy from PAA. Would you say it is more aggressive than a Muhle R41? I am hoping it is.
