Beautiful razor. The CS Vetiver is a very woodsy/raw vetiver and very very strong. it needs to breathe. I, personally, love that raw scent. It's one of the best I have smelled to date. Hopefully, it'll grow on you. Regardless, it is a great performing creme.

Thanks for your kind words Robert. Yes he have sophisticated taste like his mother...

Vetiver like you say is a raw scent, I'm not to sure about it. But it's a really good cream, love the performance of it. I'll probably buy another scent of Cyril R Salter...

cheers
Dominic

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger

Razor: 6/8" Maestro Livi, Full Hollow Ground, Round Point (Amboyna Burl scales)

Strop: 40/60 laps (Neil Miller linen / SRD Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC

Results: An all Italian shave today. I don't use this Livi all that often these days , but she's a great shaver. Refreshed her edge on the Nakayama Asagi last night and she was popping hairs with barely even touching them (phew !!!...this thing can take a heck of an ultra sharp edge for sure). The Acca Kappa combination is always an ultra luxurious experience I can count on every single time . Finished things off with a touch of Floid, followed by the AK "1869" EdC...BBS, smooth and sporting a nice big smile on my face .

This Martin De Candre shaving soap is simply fantastic! It lathers easier than a lot of quality shaving creams I have utilized over the years. Robert, please order me a case. It’s that good.

Well after a 14 day fire tour in northern Alberta I had a good thick beard to slay this morning...

Brush: Rooney best badger
Razor Dovo black star

This was the best post tour shave I have ever had! Had a few nicks, but given I was shaving around blackfly bites I got what I expected. Smooth and comfortable !

Had a great weekend in Vegas, lots of eating,gambling, and scruff growing, so I had a few days growth today when I got back. This Wellington took it all off with ease. This is one sharp beast. Also the arko shave stick was surprisingly good. I love the smell of it , and my face is ultra moisturized. All in all a great B day shave.

Congratulations on your birthday
I hope you have the best of days!
It sure seems to have started the best way possible.
Nice shave!!

Good evening Gentlemen

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar brush Model # 81052
Soap: Crabtree & Evenly Nomad
Razor: J. A. Hellberg, Eskilstuna, 4/8 wedge
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Lavender Spice home blend
Notes: Very comfortable and smooth shave this evening. Two days in a row now with swedish steel, and they both remind me why I love them. This one has an incoming rescale, there is a breakage in the scales but it is on the very end, just the tip and away from the pivot so it is stable and fine to use. Just one of these days I'll get around to it...
