Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.


Another fantastic shave today. Went with Oz Shaving's "40 Crows" shave soap. If you haven't tried Oz Shaving I highly recommend you do. Their Emerald Soap Base provides a wonderful lather. "40 Crows" is a wonderful fall scent. Bergamot, lemon & neroli sit atop a base of amber and oakmoss, with some rose, patchouli and the musky-sweet smell of dry leaves in there as well. All these elements combine to produce (to my nose anyway) a wonderful fragrance akin to a warm autumn beverage.. Almost cider-like.. Maybe a toddy.. Truly wonderful. I finished with a splash of Clubman's Reserve "Brandy Spice" splash (with added skin food) and a spray of Alexandria Fragrances "Golden Rush".

Hope you have a great day. :)

Rooney 3/2 Ivory Finest (24/58)
XPEC Original shaving cream (vintage Forester Milan version) + Moroccan Rose Absolute
LASSC BBS-1/Triad Aristocrat Brass & SS
Wilkinson Light Brigade (7)
Aramis Tuscany aftershave

Nothing makes better lather than the first-version XPEC, and a few drops of the rose absolute lightened its heavy Oriental scent nicely.

Soap Yaqi PinaColada Chillers (aka Master Soap Creations) New & 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Friedr Herder Abr. Sohn 77
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic Splash
The soap smells good off the tub..pineapple and menthol. The lather was great...very cooling, nice scent...the strength just nice. It was nicely creamy and quite slick too...no regrets!
Shave with the razor was very nice...great contrast to hear and feel the thin hollow edge after a few sessions with a wedge. The razor was keen yet smooth and very comfortable. 3passes for a dfs result. Aftershaves were excellent.
