With tomorrow being my birthday we have a big day planned. That means I'll need to get up very early. That in turn means today's shave is my birthday shave.

Being that it's fair to say I'm a big kid and the fact that I just received this set, my First Line Shave Turtles trifecta was the perfect fit.

This was my first time using a FLS soap so I was very eager to try out their 3.1 base. Turns out it's an outstanding soap that's lather was just an out-and-out pleasure to use. I'll say it's a thirsty soap that likes drinking small bits of water at a time but the result is a superbly slick and cushioning lather.

The scent is inspired by Acqua di Giò Absolu from Giorgio Armani and has top notes of Sea Notes, Bergamot, Pear, Apple, Grapefruit, and Lemon; middle notes of Lavender, Rosemary, and Geranium; and base notes of Woody Notes, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Amberwood, and Labdanum. All that translates into what is ultimately a truly fine fragrance.

The Blackland Dart is a cherished razor of mine. One that I feel very lucky to own. Especially considering mine is #24 and polished making it quite fitting for this momentous shave.

I did a four-pass shave fully aquanting myself with the soap and razor. With a fresh blade and a light touch a bbs was all but guaranteed.

What a rad shave! I finished things off with the matching aftershave splash and EdP and again have to say... What a totally tubular fragrance! Both you and your lady will like this one.

Alright my friends, thanks for coming along for the ride. Enjoy your shaves. Turtle Power!

The First Line Shave products are great. I am currently using the Origins Line, an hommage to de Marly Carlisle. The 3.1 base is wonderfully rich and slick. I will be using their other scents soon.

I was very close to buying Origins. I'm glad to hear you picked it up and sure it smells great. The 3.1 base is good. I'd love to own more. What other scents are you interested in?
