      3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I could easily use Darkfall every day. It's right up there with Leviathan when it comes to dark scents. I haven't done a 3-pass straight shave in a while. That was fun, very close, and comfortable.

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. Handle w/26mm Maggard SHD
    • Razor: Personna BBS-0
    • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (2)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Roam Two - Soap
    • Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment

    Another fantastic close shave. Just a super great razor. I think I slightly underloaded the Vegan Omnibus. I blame my inexperience with this brush, which is a great brush, by the way.

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Punch 26mm v24 Badger Knot
    • Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [12]
    • Lather: Declaration Grooming - The Muse - Soap
    • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - Opulence - Aftershave

    Started this Saturday morning off right with the light and refreshing The Muse and the complex Opulence. Created a luxurious, slick lather with the V24 and Milksteak. Ended with a BBS, courtesy of The Overlander.

    Edit: added lather

    A quick shave with the R41, always a pleasure. And I should use this big synthetic more often.

    Have a good evening!

    • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
    • Razor: Dovo 41 Inox
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Cheshire
    • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming – Chaotic Neutral
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! 3 Scots

    I got many compliments from the missus for how I smell. Chaotic Neutral and 3 Scots aren't an obvious pairing IMO, with Chaotic Neutral being more ice tea-sweet and 3 Scots cool and spicy, but they complement each other very nicely.

    • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
    • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
    • Blade: Bolzano - Superinox (5)
    • Lather: Stirling - Noble Man
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Noble Man Aftershave splash
    • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
    • Fragrance: Stirling - Noble Man EdT

    Noble Man is a dupe of Creed's 'Millesime Imperial' with notes of Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Violet Leaves, Orris, Salty Marine Accord, Cedarwood, Musk, and Sandalwood.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the strength of the scent in the soap; it comes through clearly. It was a very enjoyable shave. I'm glad I picked this up.

    The blade is toast, there was some definite tugging in my last pass. I might stick to 4 uses with future Superinox blades.
