Fine setup. I have the Stirling complete bundle. It's a great scent.

Thanks so much!

It’s so close to Shulton Old Spice that if I was blindfolded I wouldn’t be able to tell which is which!

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #188 Synthetic
Leaf Thorn
Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Leaf Thorn Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another fantastic shave this morning! Returned to Martin de Candre and their excellent "Fougère" shave soap. Great scent with an incredible lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and Paco Rabanne Pour Homme aftershave lotion & EdT.

Another effortless BBS shave!

Hope you have a great day.

B&M nailed it with their collaboration with Southern Witchcrafts. This soap is rich and creamy with amazing post shave feel. For me, it's perfect for the winter months.

Yaqi Tsuka stainless steel handle

That handle looks like a copy of the Blackland Blackbird handle.

That handle looks like a copy of the Blackland Blackbird handle.

It does look close.

Take care.
