What a shave. The Maxtom just never ceases to amaze. It's a heavy, big blade, but it handles like a sports car. The TFS soaps are excellent for the money. This one has a very sweet smell, but it mellows as you use it. I was left BBS+; now to prepare for court...
Great week of shaves, gentlemen! You always seem to out do me and yourselves, for that I am eternally grateful!He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

The 1/4 cask was wonderful! It's got a great peat on the nose. It opens with wonderful oak and moss but on the back end it almost gets a smooth leathery taste. Quite good! The wife seemed to like it as well! Originally Posted by Mvcrash

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if there's a razor on the planet that can run with this one with a fresh blade, I've never seen nor heard of it.

Great!!! I enjoy the 1/4 casks also, but I think you need to like scotch to enjoy the peaty and heavier flavors. Otherwise, it has been described to me by my wife as "ewwwwww turpentine!!!" Understand that when she drinks she usually sips the older speyside scotch I enjoy. Originally Posted by LegalBeagle
