Brush • Simpson Trafalgar T3
Razor • Classic Cobra (on loan)
Blade • Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink (3)
Post • L'Oréal Birch Sap Balm
Scent • Al Aneeq Oud Malaki Attar
Normal service resumed this evening following my disaster of a shave due to lack of prep on Sunday morning.
My fist time using a SV Soap, and I felt a bit cheated by the lack of scent. However, performance was good, and it seems capable of holding a lot of water and remained stable. Glide and protection were good too.
The Cobra behaved impeccably, paired with a Kai Pink on it's third use, and no blood was lost.
The Oud Malaki Attar arrived today, and so far I quite like it. Not too strong a Scent, so it doesn't project too much, which suits me as sometimes I like my scents to not always be obvious but personal.
curious to know the settings you use on the Ambassador! super nice brush!SOTD 06-Oct

Grand shave this morning, really liking the ambassador, no regrets at this point in the slightest. Newly arrived C&H, another nice looking creation from Rob, definitely happy. I may be keeping a close eye on his new work again, especially with his recent foray metal in a set he did for Mammoth.
Hope everyone had a cracking day!
Cheers

Cheers man, definitely finding I like Robs style of wooden brush.curious to know the settings you use on the Ambassador! super nice brush!
Underwhelmed is what I was regarding scent really, Russ.I tried Cosmo too , and out of all the S.V.s it is the weakest scent , in fact mine seems to have lost it's scent almost completely which I have never had with any other S.V. soap. So interesting that you should find it lacked scent too.
COOL razor ! Looks similar to a Cooper Monobilt. Any info on it ?
