The SV sample shaves continue. The Cosmo is the hardest base so far. @BarberDave must have strong thumbs to pack all these. This one took more water but no problems. Light zesty aroma, very Italian.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Great shave today. Skipped yesterday so today's shave was especially nice! Went with Wholly Kaw's "Vor V" shave soap. Great lather and the scent is nice but a bit of an enigma to me. Lots of different notes in there that are nice but IMO fail to congeal into a satisfying whole. For me, it's a nice scent for the shave but not one I like well enough to warrant investment in a bottle of the matching splash. Finished with Fine Accoutrements "Latigo" and a spray of "Knize 10" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

The Cosmo is from their inirial release and indeed is a bit on the hard side

Soap Stirling Varen - New & 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Goblin Husky Knot
Razor Gillette Tech on a Yaqi Handle
Blade Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Splash
Wow...what a soap! The epic scent overpowered the aftershaves, lingers & lasted a while too. Unique scent and liking it...
The lather is very creamy and slick with a surprisingly good post-shave feel...just awesome!!
Considered a frugal razor...paired with this blade...wow! Best shave in many days!! Easy, smooth, comfortable, and very efficient! Easily matched/surpass with my costlier razors in terms of efficiency. 3passes without any issues for a dolphin smooth finish. The aftershaves were good too but were overwhelmed by the soap...
