Super close shave with no irritation.

This Haverford splash irritates my skin a bit, I may part ways with this one as well. Luckily the soap doesn't seem to cause any issues.

  • razor: Merx & Co. Solingen-Wald Gamerx 5/8
  • brush: Kruidvat brush (which is boar)
  • lather: De Vergulde Hand Origineel
  • post: Nivea after shave balm sensitive

Just a regular shave on a regular day with my usual stuff. Edge was rough last time so I touched it up with 0.6 micron paste. My only soap is starting to form a hole in the middle with a crack. Thought I'd make a picture for once.

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Blade: Personna White Handle Disposable (4)
  • Lather: Taconic Shave - Urban Woods - Cream
  • Post Shave: Brut - Brut - Splash On
  • Post Shave: (MALIN+GOETZ) - vitamin b5 - Moisturizer

Hotel shave. Sample kill. I enjoyed using this cream which is quite liquidy even compared to things like Palmolive. If I bought some it'd be in a different scent. Urban Woods is nice, but a bit too generic for me.

I enjoy the "Excalibur" scent from Taconic Shave, one of my favorites so far. It's a very "fresh" "clean" kind of scent, manly.

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Bordeaux 26mm V29 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Case Ability 6/8 Hollow Ground Square Point
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans - Daniele Maullu Legacy - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - Daniele Maullu Legacy - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Creed - Royal Oud

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was a test shave of a new Jnat edge that I put on this Case Ability razor. I'm very happy with it, but don't think that it is significantly better than Marion the Barbarian's edge which was on this razor when I received it. The Legacy soap base and scent were very enjoyable. I very much like this A&E soap base. It feels even more luxurious than his previous offering.
