Triple Milled I Forgot The Name Soap

Dickinson's Witch Hazel with Peppermint and Tea Tree oils added,
P&G Old Spice Aftershave

I've found that if I bloom hard soap with a few tablespoons of hot tap water the night before and just leave the water all night, building a lather is really easy next morning.

Have a great shave

Blackbird Ti
Treet Platinum
SV Morado soap, AS, and deodorant lotion
Amouage Reflection 45 Man

Morado is considered a woody spicy scent. The top notes present the fragrance with citrus hints of bergamot and mandarin, which enhance the aromatic and spicy heart of lavender, mint and ginger.In the soft base notes, sandalwood, ambergris and oak moss are accompanied by the sweetness of vanilla and a slight hint of tobacco.

Reflection 45 is woody amber. Top Notes: Benzoin, Pink Peppercorn, Clary Sage, Lavender, Cardamom, Juniper Berry. Heart Notes: Neroli, Orris, Jasmine, Angelica, Tonka Bean, Vanilla.
Base Notes: Vetiver, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Myrrh, Frankincense, Opoponax.
Whatever the scents are, they both smell nice. After applying Reflection 45 though, it doesn’t really matter what you shaved with. The Amouage takes over.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Wow! First use of the ETHOS body shaving soap and it was some of the slickest lather I've ever used! Excellent lather for three passes and I finished with PG Old Spice after shave and EdC.

Hope you have a great day.

Wonderful sea air scent to this set from PAA. Not exactly an Aquatic scent like SV 70th, but very reminiscent of the beach. Digging this scent quite a bit. It’s based on the Swedish Dream Sea Salt Soap by Kala Style; which smells like a day at a clean beach house out in the Hamptons. Happy to say the bath soap and the shaving soap/aftershave are all a very close match for each other. A great summer scent!

Love this soap... an aromatic scent and a rich creamy slick lather...
Somehow...just 1 minor change and the past few SR shaves are just getting better. Today is the best so far. This razor's edge feels really sweet...buttery smooth in 3passes for a mixed bbs/dfs & ccs/sas finish. It's definitely my technique to be improved. The aftershaves were just terrific!
