Thank you for suggesting this and sending it out. I really enjoyed it! Definitely up my alley. I loved the woodsy, outdoor take on a barbershop. Scent strength was perfect.

I've wanted to try a McDuff's soap for a while. I really enjoy the scent descriptions on the web site. This one is his barbershop scent and it's a doozy. Great lather, and a very enjoyable shave!
Yes, I'm looking forward to it! I agree 💯on the scent.

For this shave I was trying out a new edge on this razor. I created it using a Koma nagura slurry on a Black Arkansas stone. Definitely a unique feel.

Roman Spice is such a refreshing scent! It doesn't linger long in the soap or aftershave, so I think the EdT is worth having.
This razor has a combination Black Arkansas/Mikawa Asano Nagura edge. It is beautifully sharp with its own subtle feel. Very fun shave today!

Back home from my travels. A very enjoyable, quick shave today. I was quite surprised at how close this shave was. The progress on this Zenith brush is just phenomenal. I know that it will improve, but it does not need to.

Jack has an Italian cologne vibe to it. Really very nice. Certainly worth a sample if you’re interested. This boar brush has finally transitioned into total goodness. Excellent shave today!

— Traveling today, but today’s shave used Kryptonite to support u/OnionMiasma’s shave against suicide.
No I haven't, but that's first on my list. I have only heard good things about this.

Razor: Thiers Issard Le Transatlantic 7/8" Full Hollow Round Point
Lather: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner
Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Aftershave Balm
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I think Alma fits the bill for today's theme. It's main notes are Rose and Passion Fruit, and this would be a very feminine scent were it not for the musk that is blended into the fragrance. This is very cleverly done. Soaps from WestMan are first class.
