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

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Went with Murphy and McNeil's Barbershop De Los Muertos 2 soap and splash. Great lather produced by the Aon base and the scent if fantastic (homage to Tom Ford for Men). Three passes for a DFS++ result. Finished with the matching splash (+ skin food) and a spray of Tom Ford for Men EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Just a great & reliable cream. Easily whipped-up with the nice brush into a rich, creamy, and very slick lather with a pleasant scent and cooling sensation...
Another excellent shave with the razor paired with this blade! Still silky smooth and efficient, just gotta take it abit slow.
3passes for a mostly bbs result. Aftershaves were just absolutely chilling!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today. First use of Asylum Levante, a new Spanish-made, triple-milled hard soap from BullGoose Shaving. Great slip and cushion. Soap was a bit thirsty. Scent is a light citrusy, herbal, floral. Post shave face-feel was fantastic, likely due to the shea butter. Three passes and I finished with a splash of Mandom ASL (+ skin food) and a spray of Davidoff "Cool Water" EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
