SOTD 14-20 May 2023

First time using MacDuff's soap. I would like to get in a few more shaves with it but initial impressions are: excellent base accompanied by a lovely and unique scent from Strathcona. Since my scents tend to lean more light and bright, I had a limited set of options for potential complementing aftershaves. I may just have to get MacDuff's matching splash for this one. 

RAZOR: Blackland Blackbird Ti [SB]
BLADE: Bic Chrome Platinum [1]
BRUSH: Wald Nimbus [A1 Fan]
LATHER: MacDuffs Strathcona
POST: Fine Italian Citrus Aftershave

Love everything about this setup!!! MacDuff's is a good soap and probably in my top 3-5 bases.

I don't reach for the TR-1 very often, but when I do, I'm rewarded with an exceptionally smooth shave, and today was no different. Oh yeah!
