Beautiful lather from the soap. Thickly creamy and slick with a refreshing cooling scent...
Excellent shave with the razor paired with this blade. Easy smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs/dfs result without issues. Aftershaves were awesome!

Re-honed the Ben Bolt and brought along a backup in the even things didn't work out well. I did not need the backup at all. The only off spot is just at the tip of the toe, and not really a big issue. Great traditional smellscape.

Good evening Cadre! Hope you're having a great day.

Double post as I never got around to posting yesterday's shave so here is 9-5-21 in addition to today's shave 🤦‍♂️

Great lather from the WSP Soap but the only downside is that it has "That Barbershop Sent". What I mean by "That Barbershop Scent" is what seems to be a generic fragrance oil that I've smelled being used by a number of different soap makers. Not saying it's a bad scent, just rather generic... Unimaginative.. Finished with a sample of SV "Cubebe" AS that I absolutely loved! I foresee a soap and AS purchase in my future. 😁
