Another nice shave, again approaching DFS. First pass WTG 2nd pass XTG excluding the neck. This soap is soy wax based, as was another of my favorites in the past. Maybe I'm just a soy wax boy.

I like rambling man: fresh, modern, some kind of mildly bitter background note makes it feel sophisticated.

Ramblin’ Man++

It’s one of my wife’s favorites, so it sees fairly regular use before date nights. :)
