An underrated brush in that set up.
It took some time to work mine in, but it has become a great performer.

Whilst yesterdays shave was super smooth and comfortable this mornings felt a tad rough and inefficient. As much as this one would suit as a daily shaver its way too inefficient for my beard growth as I start to notice patches by lunchtime. I can see why I moved on my EJ89 as way too inefficient to tackle my troublesome areas. :(

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Off the soap puck barely any scent but during lathering the scent came out... a really nice tobacco scent but just too mild. I tried really hard to smell but it's just not strong enough. The lather is rich, creamy, and slick though. The initial impression is very nice aromatic tobacco soap but wishes it was stronger. Perhaps gotta get the matching AS.
Shave with razor paired with this blade was surprisingly very good. Crisp, smooth, and very comfortable for 3passes resulting in a nice close mostly bbs finish. Excellent aftershaves. Rating 10/10! Nice soap and excellent razor/blade

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today! Used two new items. I normally try to not do that, keeping two "knowns" for an unknown. But it worked out okay this time. The Oz Shaving Co. soap was excellent! Love the scent and the lather was fantastic. Very green with a slight hint of something "mint-like" as well. Really nice! Great shave from the razor. Interesting head design. Need to use it a few more times to really learn it. Finished with a splash of Paco Rabanne aftershave (with added skin food) and a spray of the matching cologne. It's a "GREEN BOMB"!!

Hope you have a great day!!

1st use of soap. Mild citrusy scent supposedly grapefruit but unsure...abit too mild. The quality is however a different story. Super rich, thickly creamy & slick...wow!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very smooth and comfortable for 3passes resulting in a mostly bbs result.
Somehow, 3 creepers materialized... :LOL::LOL:
