  • Brush: Wolfman WRB2 Bronze w/AP Shave Co MiG 26mm Premium Hybrid

  • Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 14 Full Hollow Square Point

  • Lather: Elysian Soap Shop - El Dorado - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Elysian Soap Shop - El Dorado - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Elysian Soap Shop - El Dorado - Eau de Parfum

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I like this soap and fragrance, but the scent strength is on the light side. More European than American in that way, though Elysian is based in Pennsylvania. In any case, I think that the owner of Elysian appears to be trying to produce a quality product and also distinguish herself, somehow, from others in the crowded wetshaving space. I have two of her products and consider both a very nice change of pace but not worthy of an Austere August run.

Love the Frio 14. Thanks go to @djundjila for being the enabler on this.
