Just got back last night from an awesome weekend backpacking in the woods. The OC Damaskeene had no problem taking down about 3 days of growth.
Really excellent combination all around.
I haven't seen many folks using the C&H synthetic knot, but so far I've been really happy with it. Super soft with nice backbone for a synth.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a wonderful test shave with two razors from Yurii Kravchenko. The Orca had a Karasu Jnat edge on it, and the Comandante had a Ozuku edge. I was able to feel a slight difference in character between the two razors. This might be due to edge shape (accentuated smile vs slight smile), but I think it might be the texture difference between the two stones. Both edges were very keen and comfortable.
Imaginarium is a terrific scent from Adopted Acres. It's a dual dupe - a mix of Louis Vuitton’s Imagination and Creed Aventus. The tub that I have was provided at the Mid-Ohio Meetup in 2025 and is in the Grand Champion soap base. Like all the bases, this one is very easy to lather, takes as much water as you want to put in it and is slick for days.
