  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: Karve Overlander Aluminum
  • Blade: Personna P74 (8)
  • Lather: Arko
  • Post Shave: Razorock - Puros - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Eufros - Dama Noche - Balm
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive Balm

Adios, 2023LG. It's been real.

Brush - China
Razor - Canada (thanks /u/visceralwatch)
Blade - Damnit I messed up - USA (where I live)
Lather - Turkey
Post Shave 1 - Italy
Post Shave 2 - Spain
Post Shave 3 - Mexico

At least the lather is on theme!

Arko is really not bad. I enjoy the scent, which to me is mostly patchouli, with citronella and I guess lemon.

The Overlander was an interesting shave! I can see what Freedberg was talking about with the drag, but for me I think it's more caused by the geometry and the blade. It's hard to explain. I hate to say it, but it's almost like a Henson! /u/visceralwatch doesn't like Henson, so I guess more testing is needed before I jump to conclusions. Nice close shave though, and very comfortable! Maybe this blade is hitting it's stride, because I've had some not-so-close shaves with it lately, and even a little irritation here and there. Not today, though.
