Greetings,

A relaxing 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report..The arko max-comfort cream is superb, only a small amount is required for a excellent slick protective lather, leaving a good post shave feeling.

The baili/ladas s.s. blade duo performed together wonderfully with no issues of pulling or dragging.The pears glycerin soap is a great pre shave, and since i've started to use it with every shave my preparation has vastly improved, resulting in some comfortable irritation-free shaves.

Finishing the shave off with a generous generous dollop of Arko~Comfort A/S Balm.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling devine.

Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.

My only prior experience with The Holy Black's products is with The Club exclusive "Decadence". It's a really nice set, but I seldom use it because gourmands aren't my first choice. However, I will admit that each time I use it I'm surprised by its performance. Honestly, when a brand touts this much moxie and bravado, I find myself suspecting they're compensating for a glaring inadequacy. In my experience this deficiency is usually in execution. In reality their artisan tallow base is the real deal, loading easily and quickly yielding a thick, dense lather. First swipe and residual slickness are still above average (in a world where "average" continues to be bumped up). Post-shave is good, but I wouldn't skip a post-product.

Jeckyll & Hyde is as advertised, replete with unabashed gimmicky packaging containing a few pearls. From the box's exterior to deep within, The Holy Black managed to capture the Robert Louis Stevenson gothic along with childhood Halloween frivolity all without compromising the gritty tenacity of the brand. That said, unless the product is really special, I often skip releases such as these out of interest of storage space alone. Fortunately, the Jeckyll & Hyde products don't require a special stand à la The Tell-Tale Heart Box Set, and can stand on their own with a modest footprint. My only criticism of the packaging is with the wax seals. I know it looks cool and is certainly in line with the motif, but personally I don't like how my first use of the product forever removes the original presentation. Additionally, while the wax cleanly peeled away from one bottle, the other proved to be quite messy and wax still remains. Interestingly, the bottle that caused all the trouble was the "Mr. Hyde" splash. I could have scored along the top of the cap thereby preserving much of the wax, but to me that still betrays the original aesthetic. The highlight for me, in terms of packaging, is the beautifully detailed rendering of silhouettes and bloody skull on the ceramic soap dish lid. It is just striking artwork and a suitable centerpiece.

As to the fragrance, I will never use the Hyde EdT again. It exhibits a nauseatingly overused patchouli slammed up against a very artificial sandalwood with a sickly saccharine sweet undertone. How this could ever be described as dark, I'll never know. I did my best to wash it off, so I can make no further comments vis-à-vis dry down and longevity. Dr. Jeckyll, on the other hand, is more my style, although it doesn't particularly stand out as original. It's a pleasant clean, green, woody fragrance with gentle nondescript citrus highlights. The dry down is pleasant, but again nothing outstanding, with rather linear dry earthy vetiver and sandalwood.

Of course the "experiment" is to mix these individual fragrances in order to tailor them to one's chemistry and taste. I did add a touch of Hyde to my Jeckyll splash and I will concede it indeed contributed to the complexity across all aspects of the fragrance. The folks at The Holy Black compound did the customer right in this respect by providing ample product with which to experiment. Each splash bottle contains 8.5 oz. of product. The EdTs are 50 mL each.

As previously mentioned, there are a couple pearls immediately evident upon cracking open the crate, but I won't spoil it for those who are delaying the grand unboxing until Halloween.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with this acquisition. This was especially unique in that I was able to involve my wife with the unboxing and noted that her interest was piqued along with a little laughter due to one of the hidden gems. After that unique experience, I'm left with a nice product that looks and performs great.
