  • Brush: Declaration Grooming Washington Blood of Kings B3

  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. / House of Mammoth – Armonía

  A lively scentscape in this shave. Armonía and Weinstrasse have these bright green, and loud notes which while different, play very well together, a tart wrapper for this sweet Opulence sandwich.

  Yet another very smooth shave and I’m pleased that the factory edge on this Koraat is holding up this well.

    Ulrik does a great job with heat treatment. I never have tried, but I’m certain I could easily get 50 great shaves from one of his razors. Impatience is what causes me to hone Koraats. Not edge deterioration.

    Need to try it if you haven’t.

    I agree. I used the premium base today and was thinking what a great job Chris did in creating it.
