On today’s shave first time use of the Kesar in ivory. Love it’s clean lines and looks. In the hand it feels natural, confortable, soft and with some heft that transmits good vives. Mixed lather, bowl and finished it on the face. This two band gel tip is just amazing.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus High Mountain White Badger
Soap: Martin De Candre Rose
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: NOS Gillette Nacet - Made in France (1)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, Musgo Real Aftershave Balm
Scent: Australian Private Reserve Fougère Bourbon Rose

Three pass shave and very much BBS. The MDC Rose soap produced copious amounts of excellent lather. The scent is a natural soft rose - very pleasant, and the performance of the lather was top tier.
My first shave with a vintage French Nacet blade. Very sharp, but quite smooth in use. I did notice some irritation and redness post shave on my chin area, which for me indicates that the blade may be a little aggressive for my skin. Let's see how it goes on the next outing.
The wonderful APR Fougère Bourbon Rose fragrance paired beautifully with the soap scent.

Thanks for your kind comments!
Yes, I make them for my self but I am getting a lot of encouragement from the wet shaving community to start offering them broadly.

Saw a yellow leaf today, which made me think of Fall, which made me think of apples.
