It's a beautiful lather whip-up by an excellent brush. The scent is actuated by the nice splash!
Enjoyed a great shave with this razor. Thanks to the diamond balsa and HBA...the edge is finally to my satisfaction...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Cooper & French and their seasonal "Santa's Workshop" soap & balm. Wonderful scent with notes of pine, vanilla, orange, light pipe smoke, light rose and leather. Excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Holly" synth for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Karve Christopher Bradley razor and I finished with the matching ASB and Viktor & Rolf "Spicebomb" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Cooper & French "Santa's Workshop" Shave Soap / WWBW "Holly" Synth / Karve Christopher Bradley / Gillette Platinum

I have an original Merkur Progress I still use also, and if I hadn't liked it so well, I wouldn't have this one.
I think you just used yours a few days ago if I remember correctly.

Good memory. It's in my regular rotation.
