No fancy photographs. Just my shave gear today.

Stirling soap, splash and balm.

Personna lab blue

An excellent shave with a 76 year old razor and I think it's the first time it's ever been used. My wife loves Executive Man, so that's pretty much all I use. The razor shaved me as well as any razor I've got. 3 passes and minimal cleanup.

Thank you, Chris. Van Yulay's Tabac de LaVal is one of the few tobacco scented aftershaves I have. To me the scent is richly vanilla with a spicy, mellow tobacco leaf fragrance. Van Yulay says it's a Tom Ford Tobacco Vanilla type; I've never smelled the Tom Ford. I really like the aftershave's aroma. I first tried it in a pass around box and immediately ordered the soap and AS combo. It feels nice on the skin also.

Thanks, Ron. And I like it when folks make comparisons to other products, because I've used Tom Ford Tobacco Vanilla before. This gives me an excellent reference point.
