Razor Gold Dollar 208
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + B&M Cheshire Balm
Excellent soap! A lovely scent and a rich, creamy and slick lather!
An excellent & enjoyable shave with this razor on pasted balsa edge. Very smoothly & comfortably mowed down 3 days worth of growth in 3+passes without any irritation & issues for a mixed bbs/dfs/ccs result. Aftershaves were great too.

Cream Maca Root & Aloe
Brush Yaqi 24mm Bali Silvertip
Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + HA + MacaRoot & Aloe Water Gel
Very nice scent from this cream. The lather was good too...
This razor has a fresh Naniwa 12k Edge and it was nice...enough. 3 smooth & comfortable enough passes for a
dfs/ccs finish. Still unable to get it to be more efficient. Patience...
Aftershaves were very refreshing.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. First use of both the soap and brush. Both were fantastic! Great lather from the CBL soap as you'd expect. Scent was light but nice with a great blend of floral and citrus notes standing out the most to my nose. Three passes and I finished with a splash of Clubman Reserve "Tequila Tease" and a spray of YSL "M7 Fresh" EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Love this soap! Superb scent with a creamy and slick lather.
A lovely shave with this excellent razor! Smooth and comfortable edge. 3passes for a dfs result. Some red spots on the chin though. User mistake. Aftershaves were great.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave today. Went with Fine's "Lavender Pour Homme' for today's shave (in the old, triple-milled version) and boy, do these soaps produce an excellent lather! Slick, cushioning, thick yogurt-like consistency. Such a shame they're not being manufactured any longer. Glad I have a stash of various scents in reserve. Three passes for a DFS+ result and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Czech & Speake "Oxford & Cambridge" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
