  • Brush: Yaqi - Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C (R4 + R2 plates)
  • Blade: Astra - Superior Platinum (5)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Cologne Russe

Another first shave with a new sample, Cologne Russe was a lovely experience. Subtle, slightly powdery, with what smelled to me like a light cedar or oak note. I'm still developing a nose for these sorts of scents, so I could be way off base here!

Lather performed excellently as always. I'm growing to love the lower-structured lather that B&M provides. It still gives excellent slickness and a comfortable shave.

Have a great one y'all! โœŒ๏ธ
