Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today! First time using Chris's "Orion" soap. LOVED IT!!!! This stuff produced a wonderfully dense & cushioning lather. And the Hammam Spa scent was fantastic! Kinda citrus and medicinal. This is what I would consider a "Barber Shop" scent. Finished with the matching tonic and a spray of Creed "Bois du Portugal". Excellent!!!

Wow that was a surprisingly good shave with this combination. Rarely use my OC razors these days but this one truly shaved super smooth and close that I only had to do a few touchups in a few spots, with the odd tiny nick. I wish they made them in a sturdier metal as the threading won't last but otherwise a shave worthy of the Rocca or Karve D plate!
Not much to add for the soap/splash as great slickness and post shave feel with a refreshing scent but still kinda chemically. The brush whipped up some lovely lather so a very happy start to the working day...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Nice pleasant scent! Not strong but consistent from the puck to lathering. Quite unsure about the scent type but really pleasant...citrusy? Cologny? Enjoy it nonetheless. Performance is good too.
Shave with long-ignored razor paired with the blade was good but just not as efficient, perhaps blade choice. Still, smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for between bbs to dfs result.
