Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Yaqi Malibu Splash
This soap does not look impressive but boy, upon lathering...which was really easy, the lather is very impressive. A pleasant mild scent together with a super creamy, and very slick lather...must use this for straights. Outstanding soap!
An excellent shave with the razor paired with the blade+2 shims. Forgotten I have 1 shim plus a previous SilverStar blade inside. The result was great...in 3passes for a bbs finish. The aftershaves were terrific as well.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

I see @NickCard got the memo this morning. 😁

Fantastic shave this morning. Went with First Line Shave's "Illustrious Oud". First use and I was blown away with both the quality of lather and ease of building it. The scent is a lovely earthy, spice-oud with a touch of sweetness in the background. Three passes and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Arabiyat "Oud Al Layl" EdP. Wonderful!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Excellent choice of shave software today! 😂
 
Thought I'd test my skills with the DE.

Feather Blade!
Krave CB Solid Brass DE razor with an "F" plate (1.23mm Blade Gap).
Zingari Man Suds
Restored vintage Boar Brush
Splash of Clubman to finish.
I came away with one tiny weeper where I always seem to have a weeper so my skills are strong.

Just an all-around wonderful lather from this cream! Awesome delicious-looking cone of creamy and slick lather...
The shave with this razor paired with the blade was good. Easy, smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs finish. Aftershaves were great!
