Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant weekend.

Great shave this morning! Went back to SV's Tundra Artica. Wonderful lather! Scent and performance were top shelf as you'd expect. Three passes and I finished with the matching ASL and a spray of Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur.

Hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Epic from the soap! Light but nice scent with a thick creamy and slick lather!!
The shave with this excellent razor when paired with the blade was not that good. The culprit blade was not smooth nor cutting crisply...on setting 9 but was better towards settling 7 and 6. After 3passes managed a dfs/ccs result without weepers nor irritation. The matching aftershave was very nice.

A superb shave with this excellent heavy razor paired with the excellent blade at setting 4-3-3. Very smooth, comfortable & efficient in 3passes for a bbs/dfs finish. The matching aftershaves were fantastic for the hot and humid day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave this morning. Went with ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Colonia". Fantastic scent and lather for three passes of shaving bliss! Finished with the matching skin food splash and a spray of Acqua Di Parma Colonia. Just a great all-around start to the day.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

This...is an amazingly awesome smelling soap! Rarely used as I only have little but the aromatic scent filling the bathroom is just beautiful. The lather qualities are good creamy and slick for sure...
I just can't wait to shave with this excellent antique razor & thus managed to get in a brief 2.5 passes on a workday rush. The edge feels so good...smooth comfortable & keen. Happy with the dfs/ccs result & a micro red spot. The aftershave top-off a great session with a lasting and lovely scent!
