Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8
Nice leathery/mechanical scented soap & matching splash! The lather is good and the brush is just awesome for face lathering-super soft!! A rushed shave during WFH lunch break. Still able to enjoy 3 passes with the compact razor...

Hello Cadre! It's great to be back!

New soap day. First use of the Wholly Kaw "Timmermann Red Label" soap and splash gifted to me by my Rudolph Buddy and I was completely blown away! I had been seeing this soap around and hearing people rave about it in reviews and it was one I had intended to acquire. But there were always other things that I wanted to get first so I had filed it away as one I would get eventually. Used it this morning and was BLOWN AWAY by it. The scent is incredible! Rum, wood and tobacco mainly with a hint of the vanilla and warm spices. And the Wholly Kaw Siero base is some of the best out there. I have a couple of other WK soaps and they're all superb performers. Two passes + touch-up and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Ck One Shock.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

3 pass shave, just had to continue using the new products from my Rudolf buddy, @BarberDave (Thank You!), and show off a RUSH Christmas gift from wifey. One of their best recorded 'live' albums ever done, imo.

Nice & lightly powdery scented soap. The lather was acceptable, the brush very good and the splash awesome!
Good shave today with this solid razor. The edge kinda improved from the last use after a careful & deliberate stroping on the buffalo leather. 3 soft & comfortable passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Had another setup ready to go but changed after receiving the Stirling "Bonafide" set yesterday. Love the scent which is inspired by Prada L'Homme. I've never tried it so I can't speak to its accuracy but it's great! Reminds me a little of Chanel Platinum Égoïste. Great lather for two passes and I finished with the matching splash and EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
