Good shave. This blade was a bit rough I tossed it when I was done. Black watch is the best.

Good shave today. Feeling a bit better and the weathers pretty reasonable. These blades are treating me very well. This scent is always top notch.

Ok shave. This blade really dropped off in sharpness quickly. This scent reminds me of Irish spring bar soap but with a twist, I enjoy it.

Good shave. Earthy odd ball scent that I’m getting used to now.
It’s still really cold here and it sounds like we will be waiting for the weekend to get some relief.

Good shave. Terribly cold out so I opted for a fruity flowery scent. I like the scent but the lather feels almost sticky at times.

Great shave. This soap actually performs very well and smells great. The aftershave smells great too even though it’s alcohol free I’m liking it.
It is very cold up here. I spent minimal time outside today.

Great shave. This scent is a very enjoyable tea type scent. The soap performs exceptionally. I plan to try more moon soap products in the future I’m thrilled with this one. I have their union scent on my mind for my next order, I’ve read good things on here.

Nice. Water softener is a great addition. It seems to make rinsing so much better and I agree the lather works up way easier. Congratulations!

Nice shave. This scent really does give me a mountain feeling. I’d say they did a good job and it was dirt cheap.
The Tatara blades are quite harsh in this razor. They do work ok but I’ll use different ones in this setup in the future.

Good shave today. The blade was a bit harsh on the first run in this razor, not unexpected it’s a bit of a biter.
The scent is great and their non-alcohol splashes are growing on me. I cut my hand yesterday and the thought of applying alcohol splash made me a bit concerned.

It’s been a very mild winter so far for most of Canada, thankfully. The summer vibes will be crucial when we are hitting -40c.
The Tatara blades are working well for me but I have only tried them in the Overlander which is a wonderfully forgiving razor. The Overlander even makes those feather blades useable.

Great shave. This soap performs very well, slick, and lathers quickly.
The aftershave scent is excellent. Very pleasant and quite strong. It is so much more than I was expecting. This is absolutely NOT just a pine tree hanging car freshener with a twist.
