I have been enjoying the shave since I began. Been looking for the perfect set. I started wood turning this year, and I found the set for me. I made the handles myself with some resin.

Quick shave but good. Darn good lather with a darn good brush. Amazingly good scent. Blade was scrape-y, but a really close and comfortable result.

(Pre-Winter Solstice Shave)

Greetings,

A relaxing sunday morning shave.

The chinese cologne soap provided me with a wonderful protective lather in no time.

People are slightly wary of chinese shaving products of which i agree some i have avoided like the plague, as like many people i have been stung with some products in the past which have been for the want of better words, 'a dangerous pile of ****e', but the two soaps i have purchased which are the Cologne & Blue's goat milk shaving soaps along with a the Yaqi Katana & synthetic shaving brushes have been outstanding purchases...Even if the soaps don't show the ingredients i wouldn't hesitate to buy them again as they have performed superbly with no skin irritation issues or 'glowing in the dark' or have a developing extra eye in the middle of my forehead since i have started to use these shaving soaps...Another superb inexpensive shaving soap that performs way above it's price bracket.

A wonderful 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy sunday ladies & gentlemen.😎
