Fantastic soap. Unfortunately, I found my Watchman sample to smell like sweat personally.

Interesting way to describe the fragrance. I guess its better than urinal cake.:LOL:

I thought it was a beautiful dark aquatic, a true masterpiece of a fragrance, by none other than Shawn Maher of Chatllion Lux.

That's just my personal opinion and YMMV.
 
Pre-shave:- Cold shower
Brush:- Tony Forsyth custom Mallee Burl & Resin Hybrid 2-Band Finest Badger
Soap:- Stirling - Frozen Tundra
Razor:- CB Karve OC-D
Blade:- Gillette Minora (6)
Aftershave:- Stirling WHAM

Karve OC-D has reminded me how close a DE can shave.
This combination is at the peak of my comfort zone teetering on the razors edge of being too aggressive and at the same time so smooth and efficient
Single pass DFS++ but why waste a good lather
 
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: @TroyTools 26mm boar shaving brush
Soap/Cream: B&M Petrichor shaving soap
Razor: Muhle R95 Rocca Birch Bark handle
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Post-shave: B&M Petrichor splash
Fragrance: N/A

No incursions by the blade into my chin today - happy days!

Brush: TF Customs Green Swirls & Transparent 27mm Rhodium Silvertip
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo H 0.50mm Mild Plate
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Mikes Natural Soap Bay Rum
Bowl/Scuttle: Rover Bowl
Post: Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm // Phoenix & Beau Oriental Rum Solid Cologne
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+

Same setup and yesterday's results were better as I had a fresh blade with a few days growth. Still managed a smooth and comfortable DFS...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Omega 10065 Pure Bristle
Soap/Cream: Blue Devil Vetiver
Razor: Tatara Nodachi, Masamune handle
Blade: Kai (2)
Post-shave: Alum block, Nivea balm, Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve, Armaf Club de Nuit
A much more confident shave today, everything went smoothly and no issues. I've removed the Kai (I think the tightness was around the threaded handle stud rather than the elongated alignment studs as I thought) and dropped it into my Lupo 95 (easily) so will see how it shaves there as I don't think I've tried that yet. The alum block and the Pinaud both stung bigly so I'm getting a close shave; Kai+Nodachi is definitely at the aggressive end of the scale for me. DFS+.
