Van Yulay - Soap of the Gods - "Achilles"
Rubberset 200-4 w/Omega boar
Above the Tie S1 w/Triad Rolling Hex 316 Stainless
Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum (black) (1)


Achilles is rapidly ascending my list of favorites.  It's one of my favorite scents, and the tallow and clay facilitate a top-notch lather.  I've reviewed Achilles before, so I won't belabor it except to say you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

I was so excited to have my Omega boar knot back in the rotation.  Without question, this knot is my favorite and my go-to for quite some time.  My only complaint was the ugly, cheap feeling handle of the PRO 48.  Thankfully, Nate Singleterry's skills restored a Rubberset 200-4 and provided a much more suitable home for this well broken-in knot.

I would be remiss not to thank Jeff Cantrell for answering my B/S/T request and providing a very suitable host handle.  The 200-4s are in the wild, but many of them have seen better days.  Jeff's contribution was a very good foundation to showcase Nate's skills.  There are some very good folks in this community.

Another great shave with T&H 1805. I am still amazed at how well this cream performs. Is the soap the same?
The Premier would rank just below my Paramount in terms of shave quality and comfort. Both are very good indeed. No drama today.
