Mmmm. Took a while to get all the parts but this is great.
 
bald as said:
Had a top shave tonight with a feisty little Russian 6/8", a Spanish blonde Semogue 2000 and a soap that is going to be my constant recipe I make.
Hope everyone is enjoying their shaving as much as I am :)

Shave off between the Tech's this week. They are all good mild shaves with the Astra blade.
The Prismatic was a lot more efficient than I remembered but the New LC was overall winner. Look forward to trying longer handles in the future.
Very happy with performance of Squadron Soap. A soft soap that works well with my technique. A quick load 3-4 swirls and face lather. Both Red Lead and The Warden are delightful scents.
Red Lead: "A manly classic mix of nutmeg, lemon, star anise with middle notes of geranium, cinnamon, musk and tonka bean. Quite simply this is our interpretation of Old Spice, and we think it's pretty damn close."

The concept of the contemporary fougère is pushed even further here, the fragrance opens with White grape, Helichrysum & Blackcurrant and it wears particularly well in warm weather. It's a mea culpa from AP Reserve too in relation to the family, my recent release with Noble Otter is a fougère that opens with Blueberry amongst other things. While not as far off the trail as many of the commercial fragrances of this family, we are certainly pushing the boundaries and arguably broadening their scope while retaining the essential elements that define a fougère. Technically we are reaching the point of maximum complexity where the thought of releasing shaving soaps is becoming a major issue - is it really worth losing so much essential nuance by having our perfume in a soap - Shawn has already made the decision not to (There will be no more Declaration releases from Chatillon Lux) and I am starting to seriously consider his line of thinking. Only time will tell for AP Reserve, we are at around 112 individual compounds in our releases, that is a hell of a lot of work that really only works as a perfume and barely as a splash. You may even see a more accessible line of perfumes from AP Reserve - addressing the issue of price through homogenising the artwork and labelling costs that are substantial ...
