Brush Spiffo 28mm Manchurian
Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8

Really wonderful scent from this soap. The lather was as creamy and slick as can be...
This razor was back from freshly honed on Ozuku and the edge is ooohhh soooo nice, so smooth and comfortable.
3passes for a mixed dfs, ccs to sas result with any issues. The challenge area for technique improvement remains under the jaw and neck. Aftershaves are just wonderful as well...nice and cool!!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today. Screw up on my part when I got the lather a bit too thin. However, I was able to salvage it and ended up with a fantastic shave. Love the scent of the Henri et. Victoria "Duc De Santal". Not a true sandalwood but a very nice "cologne" type scent. Finished with the matching balm and a spray of Elizabeth Arden - Arden Men "Sandalwood" EdC. Great frag. Again, not a true sandalwood (though it is in there). More of a "woody aromatic". Quite dry which give a nice contrast to the H&V scent.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Another good quality soap! The scent is mild, something like cherry tobacco and also almond but the lather is a wow, nicely creamy and slick!
The shave with this razor was nice, smooth, and enjoyable. 3passes for a mixed dfs/ccs/sas result without any issues. Aftershaves were awesome and cool...!

Solid shave right here! Before I got all fancy, this made up 90% of my shaves for over a year, but I had a TGN knot in an old Rubberset in place of the Yaqi.
