Nice shave today with the big Stark. Declaration Grooming really has become my favorite of the soap bases, bar none. Scent wise they can be polarizing however. Fourth and Pine, out of the tub smelled great...slightly sweet pine forest. Once lathered it turned to a vetiver pine forest. The sweetness was stI'll there, but was overpowered by the green vetiver.
Three passes and no clean-up left me DFS+, which I was fine with. Minimal alum sting on the left cheek, indicative of a little too much pressure, but otherwise no feedback. Topped off with the matching salve and WSP's Matterhorn EdP. Good start to the day!

They're worth checking out for sure. The only knock I can give them are the CL scents are very unique...Fourth and Pine and Pure Lavender are my favorites out of their CL collaboration so far. Performace is killer though as long as you add plenty of water...more than you think, kinda like new Williams.
Lovely Stuff!

Nice shave again this morning. All the hardware worked well this morning, the Ern being particularly good. The software was another A&E soap, Asian Plum. This is a very fruit forward (not fruity though)scented soap with coffee, tonka, vanilla and leather, with some floral undertones (plumeria). Quite nice and not cloying at all. Performance is as expected, excellent!
The shave ended up a BBS, minimal sting from the AS and alum. The EdT was Tom Ford's Plum Japonais. This smells off of the atomizer like it might be somewhat sweet, but one on the skin, that sweetness is almost gone before you know it replaced with some smokey tobacco, spice and incense. Really, really well done frag! Perfect for spring or fall.
Have a great day everyone!
