Using my (now confirmed) favorite scent - “The Full Measure of Man”.
Love the soap. Love the balm. Love the scent.
And as always, the Herr Aust “straight” performed up to standard. Just an incredibly smooth and comfortable shave.
If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million times. Nothing gives me a more comfortable shave than a straight razor.
I never get razor burn, nor irritation, and the shaves are always super smooth.
Did I mention the scent?
Love the scent!!
Now it’s off to the Placer County Fair. (It’s a Northern CA thing).

Great shave this early morning.
I am always on a search for a nice tobacco scent, so when I found someone that sold a scent called “tobacco vanilla“ I immediately went to the website and ordered a sample.
While there, I also ordered another soap sample of a scent that sounded very good. (Valyrian Steel).
Both soap samples arrived the other day.
Sadly, the “tobacco vanilla” was not what I thought it was. It actually smelled good, but it also had a strong cinnamon scent to it which immediately turned me off.
The “Tobacco Vanilla” was a no-go for me. But that’s not to say it might be another persons favorite.
But the “Valyrian Steel” scent was incredible.
I absolutely fell in love with the scent. I shared it with my wife and she loved it as well. (See the scent profile in the photo).
I ended up ordering the aftershave on the spot, and it arrived today. But like a dummy, I should have ordered the soap as well.
Duh!
Regardless, the “Valyrian Steel” shave and scent were incredible. I love the soap, and I love the smell even more.
Highly recommended.
Just a fantastic way to start the day.
On a sidenote, their aftershave label needs a little work. The font with the ingredient was sloppy and smeared. (Didn’t look professional at all).
Crushing Monday!
