Holy Moly Brad,
Beautiful Barber's Notch...that the deepest barber's Notch I have seen.

That's the one done by Brad (undream), right?

Very classy shave today.

Gorgeous scales Tom...simply gorgeous

Good morning Robert.
I'll tell it Buddel, I meet him in October in Dresden.
He is the expert.

Thanks for the compliment Robert. Yes, these were done by Brad (undream), I was unsure about choosing translucent horn (I was originally just planning for plain black) but these are simply stunning. The blade shaves incredibly well, it's really big in a way that is unusual for me, long and with a fat tang, nice experience - i had to go slow - and great close shave.

Soap: Scheerzeep Dutch Moss
AS: Clubman Bay Rum

First time after the summer I heated the scuttle in the micro Lovely shave all the way (even though I heated the scuttle to much, 1 1/2 minute on speed heat is to hot).

Thanks! Hopefully more shaves to come with that blade.
The Rose is very smoky, but much sweeter and calmer than the Caraceni / No. 88 scents that are also considered to be Rose-based. I chose it as a vetiver scent and as I'm happy with Creed's Original Vetiver, I'm not sure I'll be buying the Le Labo again. But this one will last me ages, so we'll see
