A true everyman shave that one could enjoy anytime during the last 100 years.

Very attractive photo, Murray. Certainly catches the eye of an Irisch Moos fancier. Nice presentation.
 
The soap is a fantastic, it produced a very rich yogurt like lather in not time. It felt good on the face and very protective.
The scent is great, is complex but i love it ! I smell vanilla or patchouli and something more.
You can try one because is a great soap and it has a great scent.

Thank you, Ron.

Thanks. Sounds like a fine soap, Raul. Maybe I'll give one of their soaps a try.

I love WSP Gaelic Tweed, the scent is like Davidoff - Cool Water !
And this Brad Sears - MF is great !

Now that's a tantalizing green shave, Raul! Quite lovely.

Oh, I like that pic a lot! Alluring Bay Rum shave.
 
The Razor is actually very nice. I'll need to get some feather blades to get a great shave from it. This shave was okay but I'm no expert at honing a blade.

I haven't gotten an Auto Strop for that reason. But I hear they can give a really fine shave depending on the model you're using.

First shave with the Asylum Rx and I can honestly say that it was the closest shave I ever had. But not the most confortable. Its optimal angle of use is a bit different from what I'm used to, and it doesn't give as much aural feedback as the Razorock Silverhawk, so that angle is a bit more harder to get it, but once you hit it? Bliss. The Kai Mild didn't perform very well for me with the Asylum. It tugged a bit on some areas. I'll keep using it with different creams/soaps and check if its performance changes a bit with further uses too. And get me some Feather Pro and Schick Proline to experiment with.

Excellent overhead POV, Daniel. How was the soap and aftershave balm? The Rx does take a bit of getting use to. I've got 10 shave on mine and love using it. All 10 shaves have been on a Kai Mild but I think it's nearing the end of it's tenure. Next blade will be different. I hadn't heard of the Schick Proline before. They seem to be really fine blades. Thanks.
