Soapy Science Doc's Special Blend
Reuzel aftershave

After a few shaves with Soapy Science I can say I am satisfied with the buy.
I like the scent, even though it's not for everyone. It smells like some sort of medicinal cream. I think.
It's fairly easy to lather, it provides excellent slickness and protection. A bit lacking on the post shave, not good as some (e.g. Barrister) but far from bad. Nothing a bit of Reuzel aftershave won't fix.
All in all, I wish this soap could be bought at Maggards 'cause regular postage from the artisan raises the price quite a bit to us EU shavers, and makes it expensive compared to some other brilliant soaps.

Third shave with a Rapira blade. Definitely not the my sharpest or most efficient blade but is one of the smoothest.

This is similar to what I have except it extends beyond the elbow and involves the biceps. The intent is to keep my arm bent at 90 degrees and to prevent supination (rotating the arm in order to make your palm face up).

I'm not overstating this when I say Icarus i the best performing base I've ever used.

That sounds extremely limiting (and thus frustrating). Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
As for the Icarus — I’ve tried a sample of Santal Auster, and am hoping to soon get even better acquainted with Icarus’ performance via a full-size soap.

Lastly the T+S toner is miracle stuff, great face food, less calories, no greasy aftertaste.

Stay cool up there in the great north — family tells me it’s been scorching in Finland lately.

Zealshaver — Andreas, great setup!

Wonderful shave with excellent performance from all the pictured items. The scent of Dapper Man is splendid. It somehow reminds me of an eau de toilette I had a very long time ago — Tuscany (by Aramis). Perhaps I need to find some Tuscany and see if my scent memory has this one right.
