    Yes it is! I really enjoyed it this morning. Too bad it's only a sample and not a full tub!

    First shave of 2017:
    Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8
    Brush: Gentlemen's Hardware synthetic
    Lather: Soap Commander
    AS: Grey Flannel
    EDC: Grey Flannel

    Great comfortable shave. Silky smooth and refreshed. The Grey Flannel smells wonderfully clean and old school.

    First day of year, fantastic shave
    Hot water wash with a washcloth
    Rubberset 49-4/silvertip knot
    Bombed Route 66 Frozen Margarita
    Merkur Progress (3.5)
    Persona lab (1)

    Today's shave was very good. Lather was cool and festive, makes me long for a pitcher. The progress did not disappoint. Fantastic shave.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20170101_125306_resized.jpg

    That's the one. This stuff is older than me, and I can tell you it had aged much better than I have!

    Razor: Schick G1
    Blade: Schick Krona
    Brush: JR#87
    Soap: Some Irish Guy's Shave Soap - Sláinte
    After Shave: Irisch Moos
    Results: DFS
    (the cat had nothing to do with the shave but he still wanted to be in the pic)
    Sláinte has a wonderful grapefruit/citrusy scent with some cooling menthol. Only complaint about the soap is it could use a little more menthol (but I can fix that). Glycerin shave soaps are usually disparaged but this produced a thick slick lather. I'll definitely be ordering some of this.
    Thanks again @Mustache !

    Yep the scent exploded when the soap was lathered. Although that might account for why I found the menthol mild :signs002:
