Your shave looks glorious! How did you like the scent and how was the strength of the scent?
The shave was glorious and the scent it's great, male, elegant and full of memories to me. Just having the balm (cause sending products with a high percentage of alcohol from US to EU and vice versa is impossible due to its flammable properties) I have to say it's good but I miss the strength and persistence of the alcoholic splash. By the way, working with wine like I do doesn't give me the chance to wear fragrances so that all the balms are good to me 😁.

Fantastic combination of soap, brush, and splash...
2nd use of this excellent razor. Stropped on the roo leather, the edge was soft, smooth, crisp, and very comfortable in 3 passes for a bbs-dfs finish...just awesome!

The old gear worked very well together, giving me an excellent shave. The scents of the cream and the aftershave, with shared notes of bergamot, lavender, oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli, blended nicely.
