Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Barrister and Mann "Nordost". I LOVE the scent and performance of this one. It'll be in rotation throughout the colder months and maybe on into Spring. The razor is one I've had for a while but haven't used much. Think there's a problem with the adjustment mechanism. Seemed to have very little effect when turned. I had to crank it up to 9 to get a decent shave. Usually on my other Slims I can get by at 5 or 6. Still, two passes + touch-up for a DFS result and I finished with the matching balm and spray of Hermes "Terre d'Hermes" EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

A very nice lather from this soap. The scent is good and the lather is just impeccably creamy and slick.
The shave with this razor today was amazingly one of my best...hardly feel the edge at all...meaning it is so smoothly soft...wow! Perhaps due to some careful stroping on the Kanayama? 3 silky passes for a bbs-ccs finish!
