Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (4)
Brush: El Druida Red Heart Chakte Kok/African Blackwood 2 Band
Soap: Route 66 The Black Pearl
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Shady Past
Excellent three pass shave with a bit of a clean up around my chin. The shave soap The Black Pearl is reminiscent of exotic spice cargos of yore this mysterious fragrance sets sail with fresh, herbal top notes over soft floras and a medley of spices. Accented with a smoky depth of vetiver, myrrh and wood grass. Excellent soap.
