I agree, KJ. I've had a bunch of boars of the years and prefer Omega over Semogue, but this knot is one of the best that Omega made IMO.

Good soap. Nice scent and strength. Quality and performance are very satisfactory too...
Shave with razor paired with the blade is still good but noticeably reduced smoothness and efficiency. Still, it was comfortable in 3passes for a mostly bbs to dfs result with 1 micro creeper.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave today! Went back to Grooming Essentials to finish out the work week. I've said it before but it bears repeating, Franks wares are some of the best I've ever used. Cannot wait to get some of the Dragonsbeard V3 when it comes out. I wonder if he'll ever have the Mysore Santal in stock again at some point. Finished wirth the matching Skin Food Splash and a spray of Mont Blanc Explorer.

Hope you have a great Friday! :)
