Bowl: Jay’s Clay 
Brush: Rich Man Shaving, Motherload Knot

Excellent slickness, post feel and lather density. Soft enough to scoop out and bowl lather. Scent strength is roughly 6/10 with both the almond and leather being straightforward and simple notes.

Shave of the Day: Monday April 22, 2019


Razor: Timeless .95 
Blade: Astra (2nd use)
Brush: Rich Man Shaving with Motherload Knot 
Soap: Noble Otter Thé Noir Et Vanille 
Aftershave: Noble Otter Thé Noir Et Vanille

Mowed through two days growth. The soap really shined with slickness more than any other attribute. That and the Timeless razor known for providing great glide resulted in a smooth experience. In regards to scent the splash and soap are not dead ringers, personally preferring how the notes come together from the splash (imagine B&M’s Night Music minus the musk). The post feel is a solid 10/10.
