Hello,
If you ever find yourself climbing the cliffs of insanity you may find yourself confronted by a Spaniard.
The dual begins with the refreshing scent of lavender, lemon, coriander and sea air with complementary notes of orange blossoms neroli and verdant greens, then cedar and patchouli finish the battle.

Mariner 4 spacecraft sent first closeup pictures of Mars on this date, 1965
Rooney 3/3 Ivory Finest (26/60)
ABC shaving croap (sample)
Wolfman WR2-SB 0.95/Triad Aristocrat Brass & Stainless Steel
Wilkinson Sword 'New' (14)
Chanel Platinum Égoïste aftershave
The ABC, from a generous friend, made excellent lather with great slickness and glide. It has a pleasant lightly-toasted almond scent. The razor was very smooth and efficient, as always, but I am finding the Triad handle's etching to be a bit too sharp for my hand. This was my first use of the Chanel aftershave, and it was quite good, soothing and with a nice slight burn and a very good spicy-woody-floral fougère fragrance.

Soap Arko Stick
Brush Yaqi 28mm Tuxedo
Razor Yaqi DOC
Blade Shark Super Stainless 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + Old Spice Original
It's just amazing this simple soap stick! The qualities of the lather just amazed me every time...rich creamy and very slick lather! The scent is pleasant too!
Very nice, enjoyable, smooth, and comfortable 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish with this razor and blade combination! Aftershaves were just as good!

I do enjoy the extra strong spiciness of B&M. It pairs up very well with the Avon Spicy. DFS+

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave this morning! Cranked the Model T up to max this morning (setting 6 / 0.79mm) just to see what it was like. Very nice shave! Two passes and a touch up was all that was needed for a wonderful BBS shave. First use of the H&V "Duc De Santal" shave soap and it was great. VERY familiar scent! I have smelled this somewhere before but I can't remember where. The website states the scent profile as:
I don't know, maybe it's the patchouli but this smells like a product I've used before and I love it! Wonderful scent. Will have to spring for the matching after shave. Finished with a splash of Epsilon Amber (a full-size bottle of this is in my future as well), and a spray of Amouage "Imitation Man" EdP.
Hope you have a great day.

Love that brush!!
Thank you Mark! I got it as part of a set - when M&M released Barbershop de Los Muertos II (which was a collab effort) - they had a set with both the BDLM I & II soaps, aftershave, and EdP - along with the brush from Teton Shaves - I thought the sugar skull was badass!Love that brush!!

Soap Stirling Boat Drinks 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mountain Lake 2 Band Badger
Razor Fatip OC on a Yaqi Handle
Blade Shark Platinum
Platinum 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Hyaluronic + Clubman Gents Gin
Enjoyed this nice soap! The scent reminded me of some fizzy pop..the lather was rich creamy and quite slick...
Shave with the razor and blade combination was super smooth...glass-like sea surface...until unexpectedly bitten...lesson learned, don't let the guard down especially if all looks calm & smooth! 3passes for a mostly bbs finish but 2 red spots. The aftershaves were excellent!
