Brush: Semogue Torga-C3 Finest Mistura 22/49
Croap: CRS Classic Almond
Razor: RazoRock SS Lupo 95 head on El Fantasma handle
Blade: Personna Red (7)
ASL: Fine Snake Bite

An excellent shave.

I decided to bring some of my non-TFS soaps out of hiding to see if I want them any more. First up was CRS Classic Almond… after a few uses I left it open to croapify it, but after I put the lid back on I forgot about it. Anyway, it's very good so I'll be keeping it.


Happy shaves guys.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rooney 1/3 Super Silvertip Badger
Cream: Geo. F Trumper Spanish Leather
Razor: Merkur Mergress (2.5)
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Swede (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Pitralon Classic
Scent: Geo. F Trumper Spanish Leather EdT

A very comfortable and close shave. The Trumper cream is luxurious, and such a great scent.
And the vintage Swede blade is very sharp - with the lightest of touches, it erases bristles as if they are not there.
To cap it off, the warm cedar scent of the Pitralon aftershave was a great match for the Spanish Leather fragrance.

Post & Aftershaves Alum + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice + HeV CCC Balm
Got the soap sample on a whim and man it was a great one!! Very nice aromatic tobacco pipe-ish scent although wishing it was stronger but it's ok. Lather quality is good too...creamy and slick. So glad to get this...thanks to fellow tobacco sotd members...
The shave with this aggressive razor (rarely used) paired with the blade was a good combo...reasonably smooth, comfortable, and surprisingly not much blade chatter going atg on the chin & lips areas. 3passes for a bbs to dfs result. Aftershaves were awesome...just love the HeV CCC lasting aroma!
