Razor: Wade & Butcher

Lather: Historic & Oak Embargo
Brush: Vie-Long (horse)
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Aftershave: Historic & Oak Embargo
Post 2: Historic & Oak balm

I took my time with this shave. I wanted to do further testing with this soap and the post-shave products. I also wanted to take my time and do more passes with this Wade & Butcher straight razor as I continue advancing as a straight razor user.

The soap is on the firmer side. It's not hard but it's not soft like many artisan croaps these days. Just sharing this in case you were wondering.

Once you hit it with water and a brush it immediately starts turning into a lather. With a little work, it turns into a very dense lather. I have to say I really enjoy the lather that this soap produces. It's slick and quite nice.

I was craving the smokey, boozy alluring fragrance that is Embargo. With its strong, rugged accord you're sure to attract attention. It's unmistakably masculine.

All in all, I had a really nice shave with this combination of wares and have no qualms recommending this and other products from H&O.

Speaking of other products, the aftershave and balm are both great. I really mean it. You can immediately notice the quality. I know it's love to try some of their other scent offerings as well.

Alright, my friends. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your shaves.
