Ethos Vanilla Safi | Kent BK8 | Rocnel Sailor MC | Polsilver Super Iridium | Summer Break History 101

Vanilla Safi is just luxurious vanilla, and also an amazing shaving soap.  Too bad History 101 has been discontinued because it is a leathery tobacco compliment to the soap.  And the Polsilver was a pleasant surprise in the Rocnel; I went a bit higher in my settings than I usually go and it all was BBS.
