Mike, I couldn’t agree more and that is exactly why I tossed this sample you gave me in my dop bag prior to flying up here!

Growing up in Alaska, I can attest to the Spruce and sap/resin scent matching up with Boreal quite closely.

Very nice soap base and scent. Thank you again for sharing this sample with me!

Glad Boreal works for you Paul.  The first line of Our Story on the T+S website is "Tallow + Steel was founded with one goal: create nature-inspired grooming products using the highest quality natural and organic ingredients."  Ryan, the owner of T+S, works out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and for the last five years, he has been living up to those words.

Thanks for the compliment! I’m really liking the shape of this one and plan to do more just like it!

I’ve been on vacation all week. I think I still have a few blanks waiting for me when I get home!

Razor: Wolfman WR2 (1.25 gap)
Brush: Brad Sears
Soap: Moon - Union
Aftershave: 4711
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum

Razor: Rex Envoy
Brush: Vintage Klenzo B985 w/ 22mm TGN Finest.
Soap: MDC Rose
Aftershave: Sudsy Soapery - Vetiver & Vanilla Balm
Blade: Personna Med Prep

New razor/brush/balm day for me!

The Envoy is a smooth, fun razor. More aggressive than I was expecting. Has some blade feel, but comfortable. I also love the grip on the handle. Can’t wait to use this one more! Initial impressions are very favorable!

The brush is pretty cool. Love the aged color and mojo. Wonderful little knot as well. TGN knots have always impressed me.

The aftershave balm smells nice but is quite oily. Maybe I used too much? I’ll try it again later

Today’s Handcraft: Cocobolo Wood

Oh yeah!
