Good soap & matching splash and the softest badger in my den, awesome!
An improved performance from this razor after putting it through the HBA again. The edge is smoother and crispier in the 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you a pleasant evening.

Great shave on which to end the workweek. Went back to Wholly Kaw and their Spring-time winner, "Chypre Rose Concerto". Great scent with earthy rose / floral notes atop a nice, deep, woody green base. Super slick, cushioning lather built with the Badlands Shaving "409 Purple & Royal Amboyna Burl" ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Czech & Speake "No.88" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

This soap was long ignored (3 years) but today's lather whip-up by the excellent brush was good...the splash is even better!!
This razor's best performance today! Spend time putting it through the ark then roo leather resulting in a buttery smooth, crisp edge, and with the razor's weight, 3 very satisfying passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
