Aftershave: Nivea 2-in-1
Balm: Nivea Sensitive Cooling
Strop: SRD ROO 20/60 pre-shave & 20/40 post shave

Blade needs a little bit more time on the Jasper... @MilkCrate it shaved well, but I know it could be better! What kind of edges do you like? Lasers or smooth?

Scent notes by TDS: Anise scent. Light menthol.

Not much else to say, smells like black licorice with a slight amount of menthol.

Good shave there, Matt. I’m still chuckling over The Refinements remark. 😂 I’ve enjoyed the soap collection you’ve worked through. I’ve got my own recent purchases to work through. About 25 of them, but I take one on the road at a time, so it will take close to six months to work through them. Wow, saying it like that shocks me.
