That would be a question for Mrs Mark1966.

But in my view it smells pretty darn good!

Pre: Hot Shower
Brush: Dscosmetic T4
Soap: Long Rifle Bay Rhum
Razor: Yaqi Mellon

First WTG pass was smooth and efficient. But ATG left a trail of nicks on my neck. Must have gotten too cocky.

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: BillyGoat Brushworks 26mm two band
Soap/Cream: Salt Lake Shaving Soap 'Persian Lime & Lemongrass'
Razor: Masamune Nodachi
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Post-shave: Alum block, Nivea balm, Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve, Armaf Club de Nuit
I'm liking this new soap, excellent glide, and scent is nice on a hot day. Wizamet/Nodachi pair well.
A very enjoyable shave.
 
Razor: Blackland Vector Ti
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild
Brush: Declaration Grooming B13 Go Beyond Jefferson
Soap: Tallow & Steel - Morikami
Post: Tallow & Steel - Morikami

My FOMO got the better of me during the Shikoku release, along side it was a very limited batch of Morikami, one final time.
Off the puck I knew it wasn’t for me, lathered it up and it opened up a bit more but I still wasn’t a fan.
I’ll give it another shot next shave.

Oh, I do, but I have a bit of a problem with animal welfare issues, so I don't use them. Doesn't stop me admiring them though. It makes it hard for me when I see beauties like @Atmoz selling off his Leonidam brush... :unsure:

That badger died a long time ago. Can’t turn back the clock now. Better to ensure he goes to a good home than in the bin.

Brush:- @TroyTools - Kakadu Gold
Soap:- Stirling - Sandpiper + 1/2 bottle of frost drops
Razor:- Hawk v3 OC

@TroyTools blooming beautifully
Hawk v3 OC with Chinese no-name is the sharpest I have enjoyed to date
Pin pricked the puck and put the other 1/2 bottle of frost drops into it.
