A very nice soap! Nice scent, good creamy and very slick lather...great!!
This razor is very nice + easy to use, paired with this blade which I thought the time is up...turns out into a grand shave! The blade is still ever so smooth and still very efficient in 3passes gave me a bbs finish. Perhaps because I have more time and took it slower...Aftershaves were impressively great for freezing my face... :LOL:

Brother in law got me this brushless gel while in England, and it is surprisingly good for a no lather gel. Quite slick and protecting with an awesome modern fresh aroma.

The True Religion from my son was also surprising. Light aquatic with soft woody notes. Easy to wear.

Razor: Timeless Bronze
Blade: Nacet (16)
Cream: Molton Brown African Whitewood Gel
Splash: Pinaud Gents Gin
Balm: AoS Coriander and Cardamom
Scent: True Religion

Fantastic lather from a small almond-sized scoop of the cream. It's 16 degrees outside this morning - a good day, I think, for staying indoors and sorting and rearranging my shaving gear.

Soap Ariana & Evans Summer Fig
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Gillette Red Tip A3
Blade SilverStar Super Stainless 3rd use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Yaqi Malibu Splash
Precious soap since I just have a sample. Really awesome qualities, with just a little it became a huge cone of super-rich creamy & slick lather with a very nice scent too...An excellent shave with the razor paired with this blade + shim. Just smooth and easy in 3passes for a bbs finish. Aftershaves were great too!

Trying out another new one today. I was surprised how much product I needed. I reloaded for every pass. Excellent fragrance and good slickness. Lather was a touch thin, but I'd guess that just more product will fix that. Seems like a bowl lather cream.

True Religion was a good match with Aqua Velva.

Razor: Simmons Hardware Number 8 Special
Brush: Yaqi 26mm D20
Cream: Caswell-Massey Newport
Splash: Aqua Velva
Scent: True Religion
