Lovely lather from this soap. Easily whip up by the excellent brush. Light refreshing marine scent and matched nicely with the aftershave. This blade in the razor provided a very nice smooth shave. Easy 3passes without any issues for a dfs finish.

Always good to try and work through the pile of collected samples.

Wonderful shave today. The Tundra Artica is quite slick and produces an excellent lather. The lite fresh outdoor and gentle woody notes are very enjoyable. The matching aftershave has more of a "skin food" thickness and quality to it, which is fantastic.

I think the Wizamet blade upped the efficiency of the henson a tad and I'm left with a lovely 2 pass bbs finish.

Simpsons T3 special edition brush was very nice indeed on first try.

Razor : Yaqi dual flip-side razor with a Micromatic handle- Mfg 2020> excellent adjustable razor concept, flip 180 degrees and it mild on the comb side, the SB side is a nice mid range, made of a Zamak head that is well made, Very good results I get.
Blade : Gillette silver blue(5) sharp & smoooth with good longevity, top tier blade for myself.,
Soap :Razorock "The Dead Sea" croap- nice unique pick me up scent with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorites.
Brush : Yaqi artic sky 24mm silvertip badger- excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock The Dead Sea with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
