Very nice! SV makes great soap as well.

There really is no shortage of great shave soap. :)

• Fragrance: Stirling - Christmas Eve - EdT

Close, comfortable shave. I could probably push this blade further, but there's no need.

Steady is another fragrance that gives my face a bit of a tingle, especially the splash. I think it might be the cedar. I'm a big fan of the scent, so I'm very much on the fence as to whether I should move this one along.

Arko is worth trying at least once, imo. It’s relatively good cheap soap with pretty great slickness.

A really nice shave this morning with some pleasant scents. FdF was a little tingly on my face this morning, I hope I'm not developing a sensitivity to it.

Almost to the weekend!

There’s a part of me that misses living in a place that gets snow. Though there are benefits to the year-round mostly mild California weather.

Is this early for you all to get a first snow, or fairly typical?

Tub kill!

This was the first tub of soap I ever bought, and honestly I'm glad to see it go. I really enjoyed the scent, but it increasingly gave me a bit of light frag burn as time went on.

Have a great day!

I've been considering selling this .68-P base plate, but tonight's shave may have changed my mind. Super comfortable and easy two pass shave with excellent results. I'll have to give this more thought.

Good stuff!

• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique - Aftershave

I had planned to use Tabac this morning, but my wife put out Ubrique so I had to pivot. No complaints here.

Super close and comfortable shave, no irritation.

It’s so good! I do wish there were just a hint more anise, though.
