    Robert,
    yes it is, The scent if u remember is a little too fruity for me, however on there site they have a lot of different scents, I dont remember if they had different scented pucks there at O beauty , but I need to buy one ASAP, it really is good stuff, but like I was saying it really does at least with my experience compete with the MDC and La tojas of the world, at the very least for the moisturizing properties.
    sharp and BladeRunner001 like this.

    It has been a few days

    Prep: Hot shower and lather while stropping
    Brush: Con. Conk Bristle
    Soap: Fitjar Lighthouse Bay Rum
    Razor: ERN 1166 Crown and Sword
    Post: WitchHazel



    I do like the 1166! Heavy and sharp it made short work of the three day beard in a single pass (not BBS but smooth).

    A good start to the week!

    Pre-Shave: Floid Sandalor Pre Shave Oil
    Brush: Omega Pure Badger
    Razor: Bengall Cast Steel Wedge (From Rune!)
    Strop: SRD Red Latigo
    Creme: MdC +5 drops of Glycerin
    Astringent None
    After Shave Splash:Floid aftershave Balm
    Cologne: Burts Bees Bay Rum
    Results: Had almost 2 full days of stubble to plow so I went with the Bengall wedge I purchased from Rune (who claims to be new at honing! BAH!!!). BBS shave with no irritation whatsoever. I just received my first coticule in the mail today. I can't wait to try her out...not on this blade yet...its too smooth

    I recieved a sample of soap from Robert today. Dont remember the name. Sorry. The tough choice was what razor. Ahhh!!!!! Wonderedge! Thats the one. I havent used her in a very long time. What an awesome razor. 2 passes to a sticky smooth BBS shave. The soap was awesome. Not sure if i lathered it up properly but Slick as ever.

    Nice Shave, this was my 1st razor generously gifted to me by Ben.Mid, after over a years service I think its time to touch up the edge before the next shave.
    Regards
