Razor: Charcoal Goods Stainless Level 2 w/ Hammered Handle
Blade: GSB (4)
Soap: West of Olympia Envy
Aftershave: Proraso Green Splash / Stirling Tea Tree Balm
Brush: Elite Razor Kingman Turquoise w/ Manchurian
Thoughts: Great shave with my Charcoal Goods Level 2. Very smooth, and comparably efficient to the other razors in my arsenal. West of Olympia has produced an excellent soap in Envy - the lather has a nice yogurt-like texture, is noticeably slick, and has wide water tolerance band. The scent is definitely not for everybody: the clove and anise notes make sure of that. I confess being dumbfounded by the scent - at first sniff, it smells like the citrus-pine combo in Delor de Treget... but the clove makes an appearance... and did I catch a hint of white florals? I don't know what to make out of it... yet. But I do know that Garrett (the proprietor of West of Olympia) has done a wonderful job executing his creative vision for Envy.
