Scuttle: GP scuttle

Razor: Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Simpson Berkeley
Soap: B&M Le Grand Chypre

Post Shave-

The Deets-
Using a few samples this week. Yesterday Cella was on deck. Lather was very good, but not sure what I think of the scent. The missus also gave the scent a “meh” rating.

Today I tried B&M Le Grand Chypre. The missus liked the scent of this one. This sample also whipped up a really nice, creamy lather. Those that have tried it, know the performance. The post shave feel is really nice as well. Wrapped the shave up with a splash of Witch Hazel and no AS. Keeping it simple when testing samples. Life is good!

There's another weirdo around these here parts that doesn't like the scent of Cella, but other than that, I think @Graybeard57 is a pretty good chap. You too, for that matter.

Thank you? I think …

My favorite scent in all of Wet Shaving - bummed that they haven’t re-released the EdP. But for the soap and AS - I have back-ups to my back-ups

Have a fantastic day my friend!

I wonder how many soap/AS combos you can say that about...?

Today’s Shave

Pre Shave-
Strop: Tony Miller Notovan
Scuttle: CC scuttle
Splash and go

Shave-
Razor: Manaslu SR
Blade: none
Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Rainier Ash
Soap: A&E Monte Carlo

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Dickenson Witch Hazel

The Deets-

Just goofing with samples this weekend. Yesterday was the same setup, but the soap was Extro Cosmesi Bay Rum. I was curious how the soap base performed before buying it. I have a great smelling aftershave from this vendor and will buy the matching soap. Oh and this scent did not unseat AA Bay Rum.

Today I used A&E Monte Carlo. Both of these samples came from @Scuttlesoap and whipped up a ton of lather. Another very nice shave. Man oh man, nothing beats a warm lather shave. Life is good!

Sounds like you're having fun, Tim!
