Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
A good shave and hot cuppa helped though. Got in my order of the SV "Tundra Artica" Special Edition (in the Beta 4.3 formula) Saturday and Decided to use it today. Great soap and scent. Citrus and oud... interesting combination. I could also detect some leather-ish notes in there as well. Very nice. Finished with a splash of the matching after shave and a spray of Versace "Eros".
Hope you have a great day.

A gorgeous kinda sweetish cigarish scent from the soap. The lather was good too...creamy and slick!
This shave with the razor and blade combo was very comfy. Smooth and efficient in 3passes for a bbs finish without any issues. The matching aftershave balm was awesome!

Super duper awesome Tabac! So rich so creamy and so slick...with a nice scent too!
This shave with my oldest razor (need to fiddle some to align the blade) paired with the blade was excellent! Very smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs finish. The aftershaves were terrific as well.

Open Comb Tech-Prismatic/Twin Treet Falcon/Proraso. The huge cap span makes the Prismatic a very noisy razor, using 2 Falcon blades on the OC Tech plate quiets considerably. Marvelous comfort and efficiency. I could have done without a second lather on my head but used the excess to do a cleanup pass using the stock plate which I'll return to tomorrow.
Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave today! Been a while since I last used Seaforth! Spiced so I wanted to remedy that today. Fantastic scent and performance fro the shave soap. Finished with the matching aftershave toner and EdT. Fantastic!
