I absolutely love the scent of CRSW soaps but admittedly, it's a soap I have struggled with. I load up, add water slowly but it goes from thick to too thin instantly.

Today, I used my STF v1 and loaded very heavily and had the best result I've ever had from CRSW. Still not the greatest but definitely a good, stable lather.

I could never bring myself to get rid of the 3 I have just due to how wonderful the scents are.

Wow, what a lovely shave. I'm on holiday at the moment and took the opportunity to really take this one slowly. Two passes was all that was needed for a super close shave, with no nicks or irritation whatsoever. I love this razor. The Torchwood has an awesome scent and whipped up a super stable, cushiony lather. Bliss​

Beautiful two passes for a DFS+ thanks to some brilliant lather, awesome razor, plus a blade that's still going strong after 6 shaves.

Pre-Shave: Kiss my Face Olive Oil Soap, cold water
Razor: Rex Ambassador (2.5/1.5)
Blade: Voskhod (1)
Brush: Paladin Sumo
Lather: APR Fenchurch
Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil​

Today I shaved one half of my face with the aggressive setting for the first pass and the milder setting for the subsequent passes, while for the other side I used the more aggressive setting during the final pass - just to get it out of my system. While I could not detect any difference in the closeness of the shave, the side with the aggressive setting during the final pass felt a bit rougher and I also had a couple of weepers there...test done and back to normal from next shave on.

I cannot believe, it has taken me so long to use this APR scent for the first time - absolutely beautiful and I totally agree whit all the rave Fenchurch reviews and the resulting APR lather was just wonderful.

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday (y)
