Straight Razor Designs's "Sandalwood" has a really nice sandalwood scent, by the way. Actually, the best I have tried so far. Nice shave, too.SOTD Items Details Pre shave Castle Forbes "The Pre Shave Soap/Cream Straight Razor Designs "Sandalwood" Razor Imperial Razor Co.

Slow, relaxing BBS shave.
I wish I could link a file with smells right now. Mama Bear Aged Spice mixed with the smell of coffee, eggs, bacon, pancakes and Canadian maple syrup.
Have a great week!

Solingen Perlex First Class 5/8

Dickinson's WH
Musgo Real a/s balsam
Czech & Speake Dark Rose Edt (sample)
First chance to use my new Solingen honed by Lynn Abrams. Boy, that's a nice razor!! Two uneventful passes with the MWF and a great result. Decided to forgo any touch up and used the remaining soap for a head shave. Feeling good with the C&S Dark Rose (a real departure from my usual Edt's) but I like it nonetheless.
