  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: 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.

• 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.
