Overflowing with optimism and hope for this new year (2023) I opted for what is currently my favorite shave. This shave is meant to bring feelings of confidence and joy for the change to come....

There's no way to not earn a bbs shave when the Bengall and Dart are tag-teaming. They're both just so effective and efficient. I really love this combo and when the Dart is paired with a Personna Platinum Chrome blade, efficiency is guaranteed.

I used my Heritage Collection badger brush, which will be featured a lot this BADGERary month, to whip up a healthy bowl of Bash lather. The white high mountain badger hair is velvety soft and willingly released epic amounts of rich amber, vanilla Bash lather.

I have to tell you though that this soap's scent is freakin' amazing! I'm so glad I was able to score this set and will try to snatch a bottle of Grand Soir (EdP) by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, which is what this soap is based on but this will be tough as it's quite pricey.

So there you have it my friends, my first glorious shave of 2023. It was a good one!

I want to wish you all a very healthy and happy new year. One filled with love and prosperity.

Take care my friends and enjoy your shaves!

I had a bit of trouble loading the brush for some odd reason. But once loaded it worked great for my head shave.
