I love almond. When I was a kid, my sisters and I were allowed to choose our own dinner dessert on our birthday, and for a few years I chose the delicious almond cake from a local Swedish buffet restaurant. These great almond software shaving products always remind me of that, especially the balm.
And the Carbon razor head seems to get even more beautiful with time.

The soap is good. The scent is nice, the lather is creamy and slick enough.
Excellent shave with the razor paired with this blade. 3passes for a bbs finish.
Matching aftershave was great.

Not my idea, credit Josh aka Subie Shaves, Winning Razor head on a working Stahly handle. Awkward of course but it does completely solve the weird suction issue with the head and delivers great results (Kai blade). Handle is in great condition and has enough juice to complete my usual multidirectional pass on my head. Will try this again with MDC as the little holes in the baseplate do clog with the oil/TJ cream I'm using lately.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. Went with Fine's "L'Orange Noir" in the old triple milled puck. Lovely Terre d'Hermes scent and the lather quality was superb! Finished with the matching splash and a spray of TdH. Wonderful!

Hope you have a great day. :)
