That's a sweet looking shave brother! How's the soap? I've never tried MacDuffs, great art too!

Thank you bro! I really like MacDuffs - very easy to lather and good performance to boot. It is really easy to overload - so you have to be sparing believe it or not. Some of their bases have beer in them - it doesn’t look like this one in particular does - but has lots of skin food in it. They are out of Canada. I like their scents - just at the right scent strength.

Sounds like a winner! I’ll give them a try some day, but dang I have too many soaps already. 😂

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Finally got around to getting all my colder weather scents out of storage. Been looking forward to this soap / splash combo because it reminds me of Christmas! Superb lather for two passes + touch-up and I finished with the matching splash and spray of Terre d'Hermes EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
