  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (2)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Roam Two - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Hamami - Aftershave

A very nice shave.

Roam Two has lost whatever sharp synthetic scent I smelled when I first got it, so that's good. It has mellowed out a tad, in fact I wish the scent was stronger. Since it shares a name with the OG Roam I can't help but hold it to that standard. It's a good scent, and if it were named something else I think I'd give it more of a fair shake -- but OG Roam was just so neat and interesting, and this one leaves me wanting more.

The Vegan Omnibus base is --chef's kiss-- ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ’‹.

Oh no, Roam Two is really different?

I really like OG Roam and was hoping to get a splash that's similar.

Well RIP.

I guess I'll keep my more and more funky looking balm, then ๐Ÿ˜‚
