The 'Americana'/Tallow + Steel combo is one of my favourite combinations.. what a fantastic shave... so good in fact, that I did extra passes just for the fun of it.. finished off with Creed Royal Oud.. yum!

 

Thank you, Joseph.
The handle is new, but the knot is from a four-year-old brush I bought on the BST on another shaving forum which hadn't been used much and it is, probably, the best knot I have ever tried in the past seven years of wet shaving.
Superbly dense, with incredible backbone and lovely scrub, but with wonderfully soft tips. I have no idea where Bernd sourced this hair, but it is the best D01 2-Band hair I have ever tried.

It felt good while it lasted, then the burn and weepers appeared. I don't know if the blade is a dud or what, hut I might have to skip shaving tomorrow.

​

Organsim 46b opens with a distinct Grand Marnier and cocoa vibe. Later, the sweetness of the liqueur mellows a bit revealing cured tobacco, but it remains boozy all the while. The splash presents the same way, except it's a bit more of the bitter orange. It unfolds similarly, but the dry down is interesting. The sweetness transforms to something reminiscent of warm caramel without the buttery note. Then there's a brief powdery element followed by a gentle, sustained cool ethereal essence. It's quite a ride!
