This soap is creamy and slick, and together with the splash, smells wonderful!
This razor is just awesome! It's already good with the diamond balsa 'laser' edge but my face prefers a natural edge nowadays so put it through the HBA. Wow! Feels more comfortable and yet still very keen...I like it even better now!

A very close and smooth shave. I have this original Rockwell Model T, the Model T-2 and the 6S with all plates. They were half price brand new because I funded them on Kickstarter. A good call if I don't mind saying so (and I don't : ) .

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Skipped yesterday so today's shave was especially nice. Went back to Martin de Candre and their "Fougere" shave soap. Lightly scented but excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Mint Chip" HD ST badger brush. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the '61 Gillette Fatboy and I finished with vintage Avon "Tai Winds" AS and EdC.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
