I want to personally give a shout out to MO.
My last shipment was sent incorrectly.
I contacted MO and he immediately sent out the correct product. I got it within 2 days. He even advised me to keep the incorrect items.
This is how you handle it the correct way.
In times of negative comments I want to acknowledge this completely positive service.
I think I can speak for all how fantastic his product is.
Thanks MO

gone to Carolina in my mind
I had another incredible shave tonight with AION Skincare's new Maxima base.  The first pass was routine.  The second pass turned into two passes plus some touchups - all without relathering!  To be clear, I did at times dip the razor into lather floating in the sink, but IMO that is hardly the same as relathering.  As for blood, the disappearing red microdots from my first Maxima shave made their reappearance tonight, but were kind enough to once again make their disappearance by shave's end.  This is not unique to Maxima of course, but it is nice.  Finally, I found the soap scent mild, but easily discernible, and very pleasing.

NOTES:  Incense, Labdanum, Frankincense, Myrrh, Vanilla, Honey, Amber, Precious Woods, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin.

I ordered a couple of Maxima soaps: UNUM and Tobacco Oud. However, my wife confiscates all deliveries for shave goods that occur after Thanksgiving. Thus, I won't be able to test them until Christmas. I also have the DFS/Black Mountain Shaving/Murphy & McNeil Horizons collaboration that will be released from
custody that day. I have to decide which one to pick for my Christmas Day shave. 

After HighSpeed reviewed UNUM, I cannot wait to try it. 

I was surprised that HighSpeed noted some microdots of blood when using the Timeless 0.68 razor equipped with a Wizamet SI blade. In my DE blade evaluation thread, the Wizamet blades received a sharpness rating of 4.5 and a smoothness rating of 5. I used a Karve C-plate razor for the evaluation. Even though I have sensitive skin, I got zero irritation. However, Wizamet blades are sharp enough to cause minor blood loss if you are not quite careful enough with blade angle and pressure. That would be even more important if you are trying to shave without relathering. 

In my evaluation of Kairos SE 2023, it was the only soap I have found capable of doing buffing strokes without relathering. Since Mo has promised Maxima to be even better than Kairos SE 2023, I should be capable of that as well. However, shaving without relathering is a gimmick best left to shave soap evaluations rather than normal shaving.

Another scent you might be interested in is KAI. I hope you get a chance to experience it. Maybe Brabrian80 can describe it Smile

GroomingDept So afraid to blind buy. Always seem to err.

Is Kai a Mallard?
