This was a solid shave, a little rough on the neck as I learn the best technique with the Model T there. I love the scents and they work well together. My beard is getting longer and I now need some wax to keep my mustache off my lips.

Really nice relaxing shave this morning with my trusty AS-D2 and a Martin de Candre Vetyver 50g sampler of their shaving soap I received for Christmas from my brother-in-law. I’ve shaved with their Fougere and Original and quite honestly wasn’t impressed given the price of the product, but this Vetyver scented soap whipped up into a thick protective lather, and that scent!! Wow, it bowled me over. I’ve always been a sucker for Vetiver scents, but have really not indulged since my second wife’s fragrance allergy prohibits it. The beauty of this stuff is that it surrounds while shaving and then fades away! I was so entranced by the scent that I really took my time. I only need a two pass shave with this razor. I’ve pretty much mastered its very narrow sweet spot. My third pass was unnecessary, but it did allow me to relather and luxuriate in that divine scent. The result was a BBS of both dome and face. I feel clean, smooooth, refreshed, and ready for church.
