Brush: Wild West Brushworks «Nebula» + Maggard 24mm SHD
Razor: Karve CB Brass SB-D
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Lather: Barrister & Mann - Reserve Lavender
Post: SpeedyPC mix (not the latest formula)
I don’t know why I haven’t been using this soap more, the scent and performance is amazing. I recently started using the D plate instead of the C plate on my Karve, and feel like I have been getting better and closer shaves.
Have a great day everybody!
Impeccable taste

Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: TF Customs - Majestic 28mm Rhodium fan
Soap/Cream: Gentlemans Nod - Zaharoff Signature Royal
Razor: Merker - Futur (5)
Blade: Gillette - King C Gillette (14)
Post-shave: Gentlmans Nod - Zaharoff Signature Royal AS splash / A&E Hotshitsu Elixer
2 pass WTG = DFS+ Daily shave. Switched the blade over into something that will keep me on my toes during the shave. Smoothness has dropped and increased blade feel is present. Effciency wise about the same as the Lupo 95 although defiantely not as agile. The blade is not dead, just that this razor would benefit from a newer blade. Overall enjoyable shave.
The Soap, Gentlemans Nod - Zaharoff Signature Royal. Scent strength for the soap is light off the puck and medium once lathered. The splash is medium strength. Scent notes, magnolia, pigments, citrus, amber, oud, apple, vanilla, suede, lavender, cedar, cardamom, patchouli, musk, juniper, and Sandalwood.
Very strong base notes similar to the original Zaharoff Signature original.
Fresh citrusy top notes, with a decent weighted middle notes of florals lavender, magnolia with a peppery spice of pimento leaf. It smells very much like the original Zaharoff Signature except Royal has a more apple and citrus top end instead of pear of the original Zaharoff. This gives the scent a lighter brighter note. Dry down is lighter as well, I can pick up the magnolia, and pimento floating over the base wood notes. The patchouli and musk are scented really lightly only picking up their scents very briefly off the puck.
Overall a refined masculine brighter scented version of the original Zaharoff based off the EDP. This one I would classify as Chyprental scent. A hybrid scent of a Chypre and an Oriental, as it has top, middle and base notes which are common to both scent profiles. Lucky for me these are my two favourite scent profiles and to have them together in one fragrance, I am fortunate.

Pre-shave: Neutrogena - Hydroboost cleanser
Brush: TF Custom with 26mm Tux Knot
Soap: WFTW - All Things Nice
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Black (Shave #1)
Post-shave: Neutrogena - Hydroboost Watergel
DE shave #4 done.
All things nice - mmmmmnnnnn! Creamy, sweet, honey goodness. It smells like a cup of warm milky cocoa that’s been sweetened with a block of honey comb.
The soap itself lathered well and held its shape. Not as thick as moon soap or B+M, but superior to Prorosa. The soap left a nice slick feeling, but nothing too oily. I’m looking forwards to using this again!
First time using a Wilkinson Sword blade - nice and smooth. Just as smooth as an astra blade, but less aggressive than a feather blade (in my experience)
Maybe it was all made better by a nip of whisky as a night cap though

Halfway through shower last night and realised that was mud coming through shower.......had to rinse off with my drinking water container.
Not a lot of choices for accomodation out west. Cleared up this morning so I'll have another attempt. I guess that mud is the better option than frogs guts that came through the pipes a couple of years ago at the same place. The Deli belly that came with it was not unexpected.
