Good morning!
Wow, a lot going on with this shave! I used all the products that I received in the Hemingway Accoutrements sample pack.
I washed my face with the Stirling mentholated pre shave soap per usual then applied the lightly scented Grooming Oil. I don't know that it did anything for the shave. I'm indifferent about it.
I have very little experience with creams and it showed. I struggled, too much water. Took me awhile to get a somewhat acceptable looking lather. Didn't look good but boy was it slick! And the scent, wonderful! Three passes for near BBS with silent alum. Then it happened, I dropped my alum.

The same alum block that I've used since starting my wet shaving journey is now in pieces.
Next the Face Elixir. Two drops applied to my entire face. Upon application it felt sticky but dried within seconds leaving my face feeling soft. Color me impressed.
The Repair Salve is lightly scented to my nose and seems to be a moisturizer. Nice but another I'm indifferent about.
The Post Shave Relief Balsam is something I would purchase for the scent alone. Simply wonderful!
Finally finished off with the Aftershave Tonic, excellent scent!
It took a lot longer to type about than it did to use. If I get the shave cream dialed in I'll probably do a full size purchase of the cream and aftershave and possibly the Face Elixir and Relief Balsam.
Have a great Sunday!
