Tue 21 SR SOTD
Soap Southern Witchcraft Samhain
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Ribbon 1000
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Southern Witchcraft Samhain Splash.
A break from Stirling today. The SW soap qualities are very good too. The lather was creamy and slick with a scent I can only describe as pumpkinish...perhaps some tobaccoish...
Shave again with this razor after putting it through the pasted balsa progression. Still nice & smooth with some improvement to the edge...slightly keener. 3passes for an improved result of dfs/ccs/sas and no issues. Matching aftershave was good with some added frost drops but definitely not a family favorite :LOL: .

Soap Commander Love (True Rose) shaving soap

The last time I used the Soap Commander, I had to work pretty hard to get good lather, but this time it was quite easy. Its scent is for me the best fresh, true rose in a soap.

Excellent performance from this soap as usual. Nice fizzy cooling orangy scent with creamy and slick lather!
A very nice enjoyable shave with this razor. The edge felt really good. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a ccs/sas result. Awesome aftershaves as well!
