I understand completely where your coming from but for me i like to persevere.Yeah those brushes he did were brilliant, one stacked leather (as a raffle) the others with the metal tang running through. I almost threw one of them in the basket but I wasn't sure how stackry would have been with badger hair getting through, wasn't worth the risk.
The soap is a strange one for sure, I wasn't sure whether they really would have captured metal but to my uneducated nose it certainly seems like they have. As the day has gone on though I don't think this is really going to find a permanent home with me, but I'll give it one more bash and see whether it has a place or not.
I quite agree with your scent description (not a fan of it either! Got a sample). Have you tried valley of ashes by southern witchcrafts, or nocturne by zingari and b&m? Those two are quite similar - I think voA is a bit nicer whilst nocturne smells like some apples that fell down in late autumn and started rotting amongst old wet leaves lolRazor = ATT Windsor Copper
Blade = Winner ( 1 )
Brush = The Darn Robb 24mm Boar
Soap = DG Darkfall
with matching splash
Balm = Simpsons Sandalwood.

Declaration Grooming Thursday
Well where do i start
Quite possibly the worst scent i have ever had.
Smokey beyond believe.
infact it reminds me of the worst Whisky iv ever had well not really i suppose there is no bad whisky only good ones & better ones.
Anyway back to the soap
it’s like iv been sitting at a bonfire for 3 days & never changed my clothes.
The notes say burning leaves in the fall or autumn as we call it in the u.k. and they are not wrong.
I will go back for another go at a later date just to confirm how bad it really is.
i might surprise myself perhaps i’ll like it but i doubt it.
The actual performance of the soap is not in question in any way but man the scent is Strong Burn Wood or as the website said burn leaves
No i haven’t tried any Southern Witchcraft yet.I quite agree with your scent description (not a fan of it either! Got a sample).

I know we all like different things but who on earth would want to use that? How does that scent even make it through to production?nocturne smells like some apples that fell down in late autumn and started rotting amongst old wet leaves
According to House Of Mammoth Website they say is it steel ?I know we all like different things but who on earth would want to use that? How does that scent even make it through to production?
That’s what I’m wondering to be honest! Seems like there are some that do … but they definitely aren’t my cup of tea!I know we all like different things but who on earth would want to use that? How does that scent even make it through to production?
I’m off to Leodis tomorrow! Watch out for Wicstun, coming soon!Today's entry in to the future archives according to the rules of the SOTD is themed 'Call it whatever you want'

Well done on your first kamisori shave, they're no where near as scary as they look!Fri 22 SR-Kamisori SOTD
Soap Wholly Kaw Pomplemo
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor NOS Henkotsu Kamisori 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Aqua Velva Musk
A good quality soap. The scent is light but the lather is thick, creamy, and very slick...
Received my 1st Kamisori yesterday and today was the inaugural shave. Prior to the shave was worried about the handle...may drop it because of inexperience in both hands. Also worried about shaving with the Ura side...
Hah...the shave itself turns out to be great...the handle was easy for both hands...in fact better for the neck atg pass. The Ura side turns out to be very nice...in fact, I preferred...
All in, it was an absolutely enjoyable shave session with the Kamisori in 3passes without any issues for a mixed dfs/ccs/sas result which is not too bad for 1st time.
