Brush Yaqi 24mm Cavern Lake
Razor Joseph Elliott 13/16 "Fine India Steel"
Good soap & splash scent with a nice enough lather whip-up by the excellent brush.
This razor is just awesome! Smooth and crisply keen after the roo leather, enjoyed only 2 passes and it was sufficient for a bbs-dfs finish...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Decided to go with an "orange" theme today. Great scent and lather from the Grooming Dept. "Valencia" shave soap built with the Badlands Shaving "Underground Pool" ST for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Blackland "Era", and I finished with a splash of The Goodfellas' Smile "Orange Empire" after shave and a couple of sprays of "Terre d'Hermes" EdT

Hope you have a great evening. :)

I used mine on Sunday for a perfect shave. It has slowly become a go-to razor for those mornings that leave me little time to deal with maintenance.

A superbly good lather from the soap & a nice scent from the matching splash. The brush is awesomely soft and wonderful.
Another great shave with this unassuming razor. Stroped on the roo leather...the edge is perfectly smooth, crisp, and comfortable. 2passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
