Its got a similar scent to Speick, more woods less citrus. I cant pick a Favourite.
Complimented the Green tobacco very nicely and It performed well. For the 16AUD I cost my in a bulk G&C order its very good.

Sounds great. Where'd you source it mate?
I got it via a trade with an American friend. I think tvbshaving sell them too so might be cheaper to Australia. Shavingtime in the UK sell them too I think.

Using an actual badger would seem thin compared to the Chubby...

Pre-Shave Musgo Spiced Citrus Oil Soap
Brush Frank Shaving Silvertip
Soap Geo F Trumpers Limes Shave Cream
Razor Ikon #102 Slant
Blade Super-Max Stainless (1)
Post Shave Argan Oil & Dickson's Original Witch Hazel
Aftershave Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve
Not too sure about the Super-Max, don't think it will last too long.
While shaving with the #102 slant is great, I find that I have to pay attention to my face rather than the razor head. If I focus on the razor head then I tend to adjust my grip so that the razor head is running parallel to the cutting action rather than at a slant like it is supposed to do.

Didn't realise I hadn't shaved since Saturday [well I did] as I've been practising with the straight on the areas I'm getting more confident with. My wife did ask what the new look was all about. Please don't take this wrong but if I had a mo and goatee I would be a straight shaver everyday. There really is nothing stopping anyone shaving with a straight if you have those "growths". The lip and the chin though are a challange but certainly one worth continuing with.
Today was a training session on the straight and a finishing shave with the 1912 and a GEM blade on shave 4 or 5
Soap was a version I've made with Tea Tree oil as a scent. I really think I will be using Tea Tree more often.
Good shave.

Brush: Commodore X2
Lather: WSP Black Ambre Vanille
Razor: DE89
Blade: Dorco Stainless (3)
Post-shave: Agua Balsamica
Quite a nice shave. But having shaved with the Dorco and DE89 for three days running I can sincerely say I really miss my AS-D2. While other razors might be sharp and close day to day it takes its toll, while the Feather just loves my face for long time.

Well if you insist then I'll take the brush. Just PM me to organise payment and postage.
