Going to be a hot day in the old Pueblo, so a lime island shave seemed appropriate. The “Wraith” on whiskey removal duty and Stirling as always provides a wonderful surface for that razor to glide around on me.

To go all matchy matchy, the Sorrentino Tsc anniversary brush and finished with a normal cast of characters and a very nice Italian citrus EDT with the Panama Daytona

Have a good day folks

Very excited about this new Seaforth offering from Dennis at Spearhead Shaving

With grapefruit, apple, Birchwood, geranium, jasmine with a touch of spice and frankincense on the tail end. Literally all the wonderful fragrances in my wheelhouse.

The one thing noticeable in comparison to the other offerings by Seaforth, is the Soap base very, very thick and creamy so in my opinion than any of his other soaps. Strong fragrance, however, much water needs to be added to make this soap, a slick usable lather, which is huge and cushion probably the largest that I’ve seen in any soap maker.

Residual slickness chart so much so that you could literally shave just with the residual slickness from the water.

The aftershaves and the fragrance bumped it up, a huge notch, and some two hours later still a wonderful wonderful fragrance, and although these fragrance notes seem like they would not, they certainly do.

I was worried that, and the spices would make this heavy, but indeed, this could be worn as a wonderful summer scent or one in the winter very very classy in nature

Personally, after the first look, I think that this will rival my favorite scent of his, which is Heather. Maybe even better time will tell.

So the three passes were fantastic DBS with the vector very impressed with this new soap

Will have a video review on this Sunday

Have a good day folks
