The lather from this soap was whip-up very nicely & enjoyably by the excellent brush to be creamy rich and quite slick..scent is a nice light bayrum
Another very good shave with this excellent blade paired with the razor. 3 silky smooth passes without any issues for a bbs finish. The aftershave is just too good...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave this morning! Skipped yesterday so today's shave was especially nice. Went back to Noble Otter's "Monoi de Tahiti". Wonderful soap! The scent is complex with a coconut blast at the opening, with floral notes and a base of sandalwood. This looks like a warm-weather-only soap but the sandalwood element IMO allows it to be used year-round. Three passes and I finished with the matching splash (+ skin food) and a spray of Hemingway Accoutrements "Nature Isle" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Is this a local (to STL MO) colab?
Yes Sir, I met Shaun from Chatillion Lux to pick up some samples and aftershaves one time. He lived about 5 minutes from me when I lived in St. Louis County.

Declaration still does a bunch of collaborations with them. Also, Shaun did all the scents, so far as I know for Spearhead and their Seaforth line.
