  • Brush: Semogue Owners Club Taj 24mm Boar
  • Razor: Art Razor - Orca - 11/8 Full Hollow French Point
  • Lather: Adopted Acres - Diverted Acres - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: House of Mammoth - Hygge - Splash

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I noticed some damage to the edge on the Art Razor Orca after I shaved with it the first time. This was a test of a new edge that was created in order to remove the damage.

Diverted Acres is part of a ""musk-off"" between Adopted Acres and The Cajun Blade. Each artisan produced a soap and splash that can be purchased as a set, used, and then voted on. I am not taking part in the competition, and have this soap because it is in the EIEIO premium soap base.
