Yeah, Shawn and Dennis just crush it when it comes modernizing those classic scents.

I really like the opening but I’m especially fond of the dry down. It’s really almost two different scents at that point, to my nose.

I had to take a small break to focus on LG. I can only handle so much typing. Even if it’s just to copy and paste.
First time trying out this Malva-Rosa. The scent is really nice. Pretty much just rose and geranium. I had a hard time sniffing out any of the Dragon’s Blood. Paired up super well with Two Kings.
Performance was really good. Didn’t take much effort to build and wasn’t crazy thirsty or anything. Slicker than snot. Both primary and residual were great.
This Farvour just showed up from u/EldrormR. The Mags SHD are fantastic knots.
This Iberia is amazing. I will go so far as to say it is the best feeling razor I have shaved with.

Mrs. Pudding’s pick today, as I am too sick to smell anything. Nice shave, though!
I haven’t tried the Rolls yet. I’m saving that up for LG 😁

“Pinging” you two to address your comments on the mail call. Similar in feel to handling a GEM, but with a much gentler blade. Awesome shaver.

First go with this Lather Catcher and I love it! I just honed up one of the 3 wedge blades this evening. I could probably stand to dial it in a little more. All in all, fantastic shave though. I just love Lather Catchers.
Very steampunk indeed. From what I can tell, these were made by Heljestrand between 1900 and 1939. The lines along the back give me really strong 30’s vibes. The most steampunk looking decade!
It is. It has a little clip in the middle that holds the blades. From what I gather, you set the blade in the clip and pull the leather, then flip and pull it the other way. It’s cool. I’ll try to remember to grab a pic showing that this evening.
The Night Before is one of my favorite scents in wetshaving. I wish so bad I had a frag of it.

I refreshed the edge on this chopper for the first time since getting it. Roman has great steel, and it’s a perfect marriage with the Nakayama. I wish I had done this sooner. I liked the edge on it just fine before. I absolutely love it now.
Damn fine shave.

How are you liking the Puma so far?

Damn fine shave. Labyrinth is a fantastic scent.
You should. I think they’re neat and same with their history. Definitely try one with Swedish steel, though, I bet some old Sheffield steel would feel great too.

Man I love this scent. I wish I had it in a frag, I’d wear it all the time.
So good. Some days I get more tobacco out of it, and I love it even more those days. Yesterday was one of them.
That’s a really nice shave! I almost went with RS and a 14 also, but I’ve been sitting on some Spanish soap all LG. My hand was forced.
