Beautiful shave this morning! B&M's base in this soap has been giving me great shaves, the lather is thick and slick and can hold a ton of water. Post shave feel is excellent. I'm also loving that classic Old Spice smell, reminds me of my Grandfather every time I use it!

Have a Great Day!

Aftershave: Wholly Kaw Fougere Bouquet

My first try of a Wholly Kaw soap and I'm very impressed. This is their vegan formula and it lathered easily, it was very slick and offered great protection. The scent is very nice, more floral than anything else I have but it's pleasant. Three passes with the Chimera for a DFS. Have a great day folks!

Merkur 34 C HD/ Voskhod/ Phoenix Coconut Oud/ Simpson Tulip 3/ Baume.be



I was on a hurry this morning and that means no time enough to choose. So my 34C was close to me and i said to myself why not, lets give it a chance.
Smooth and light shave as is been usual with it. Three passes, WTG-ATG-XTG, and very satisfied. Have a nice day.

Guys, Flowers in the Dark is LEGIT!!! Such an awesome, fragrant, natural lavender with that "ozone and coffin wood" adding a burnt, dry wood element. Dr. Jon's was on my shit list for its crappy performance with the V1 soaps, but they've really made a turn! Get some of this!!

The original owner of the Archduke set the loft at 50mm - which found a bit (or two bits) too low. Was going to replace the knot with one from MS but when pulled the Manchurian it was really high quality and went a long way into the handle. So dropped a few large coins into the handle and voila - a much improved pleasant lather applying machine. Now have a 30mm knot looking for a home . . .
