I really love the Mysore fragrance. The lather was wonderful, thick, rich, and slick, and the aftershave splash was very soothing.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Outstanding shave today. First use of the Stirling "Nag Champa" today and boy, did it take me back. Can't tell you how much of that stuff I burned back in the day, both cones and sticks! Had a burner in the shape of a dragon on a tower (for the cones) and the smoke would rise up through its mouth. 🏰🐉

Finished with some Thayers Rose Petal WH (with added skin food) and a spray of PdN "Patchouli Homme", Great shave!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Soap Phoenix & Beau Spitfire
Brush Yaqi 26mm Mysterious Space Tuxedo
Razor Fatip OC Slant on Yaqi Handle
Blade KAI 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Gatsby Splash
Excellent soap! Nice leathery tobacco scent and creamy slick lather! Love this (5.5/10 strength) masculine scent!
FOCS razor on the Yaqi handle feels better and paired with the blade gives a fantastic shave!! Crisply smooth and so comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs result. Good blade + good razor = Great combo!

Thought about it. Didn't know if that may be too much of a good thing.. :unsure:
I thought the same as you but if you really like Nag Champa it won’t be too much IMHO. My other half loves both together. I am a balm guy too so I match the Nag Champa soap and splash with Baume Be balm. It’s the closest complimentary balm I have. Stirling says a balm might be coming next autumn.

Loading it like you hate it only made the shave better. Missed a tiny patch under the chin. The cleanup passes are taking a bit more work. DFS +
