Wolfman started off strong but after 2 shaves they all became a bit lack luster DFS
TFS-TFS is one of those scents that has really grown on me. Bought by accident originally. Couldn't PIF at earlier meet ups and this week thoroughly enjoyable.
Very subtle and powdery, spicy and floral scent (Sandalwood, Vetvier, Patchouli, Lily of the Valley, Citrus and Menthol)

Razor, what's your opinion of the euromax blades in the Karve?
 

Charcoal Goods Level 2 closed comb, Vertigo Handle + Astra
Alpha shaving, Outlaw V2
P&B Spitfire

I very rarely chase BBS, but the stars aligned this morning and I managed to get the best lather so it just seemed to be wasteful to let it go. 3 passes later and there is not a whisker to be found. The level 2 razors are just perfect for my beard. Love them. As for blades, Astra Greens just do the job nicely.​

Hi buddy, first use with the Euromax this morning and I found it a bit rough WTG but surprisingly still managed a near BBS shave in 2 easy passes + touch up...? I'd say it pairs better with a milder DE as yesterday's shave with the 37C slant was smooth and close???

It's great. The scent not surprisingly is the same as Clubman aftershave but much milder if you like, about half as strong or maybe even less. I have a preference for the hair tonics that contain oil as I have fairly dry hair and as this one is greaseless I was a bit worried at first that it may have a drying effect but it doesn't at all so happy days...

Cheers. Weleda also make a nice hair tonic. I’ll give one of the Pinauds a try when the tiger runs out.

Retired the other OC's because they could not compete with Wolfman
The VL 4402 has fondly been nicknamed "Slappy" provides a nice slick lather but no cushion, just thick slickness like grease lightning
 
Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: Timeless 95
Blade: Nacet
Brush: Yaqi Pony
Soap: WFW All Things Nice
Post: RR XXX Splash

The bathroom was filled with such a delectable scent, splash paired very well. I am really enjoying the RR splashes and another win for the nacet, a blade I thought I would never get along with so not sure what’s changed but I seem to like them now.
