This set showed up yesterday, alongside Armonia.
First time whiffing the scent and I thoroughly enjoy it. Dark and spicy, there’s a lot in here I enjoy. I need to grab the EdP. u/gcgallant you will probably really enjoy this one, if you haven’t checked it out already.
This 10/8 made by Roman Kamlash is probably the 2nd best shaver in my den. To some, the size seems intimidating, but really it’s super comfortable to handle and very easy to index. Some may struggle with keeping no pressure, as it is as heavy as an 8/8 near wedge. If you’re comfortable with that facet of technique, however, it shaves like a dream. Roman’s steel is top notch and rivals just about any out there, new or old.
Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.
I really like Caoba.
It really kind of flies under the radar
Armonia and Caoba have been on my radar for a while now. Straights have really shoved me in the direction of Chicago Grooming and Wholly Kaw. Both companies have unique and excellent soap bases.

We travelled from the coast to our in-laws today, so I’m stuffed and tipsy for this evening shave.
The bottom of the tub showed itself today. I have a ring of death going again, and that feels good.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I’m traveling. Had this shave in the early morning, but I’m now just getting around to logging it. I’m up in the mountains of Massachusetts. Beautiful day up here. I take LGC for granted. Oddly, I seldom use it even though I know it’s a great scent in a great soap base.
