Agrumes-Vétyver (Martin de Candre) a shave odyssey
Shave 54

The Tatara blades pair well with a Tatara Masamune razor. They’re very smooth and mild. Almost too mild, in fact. I feel pretty stubbly a few hours after my shave. But there’s no denying the scraping itself is easy and comfortable, just the thing for those days when you’re letting your hide heal.

Thanks to everyone who helped me find French razor options. DanLaw, you're right about the Thiers-Issard straight razor. That would make for a excellent all-Gaul shave. However, I've never used a straight. I hear the learning curve is steep. But the traditional charm of it is quite appealing. I'll need to consider it carefully.

Whiterook, did you finish off the Apsley cream? If so, about how many shaves did you get out of that tub? And isn't Grafton a nice fougère. I love the tarragon note.

Yes, Apsley is all gone. It lasted over a year of weekly shaves. Grafton is a light, but wonderful scent, so I decided to slso get the balm.

I used Stirling Bay Rum.  It has a strong clove smell but itn't overpowering.

Well??

Performance was fantastic!  Very easy to load and after a couple of minutes had a thick and slick lather going.  I would say the lather is similar to Wholly Kaw.  Where I was a bit disappointed was with the scent, but everyone's different and maybe this one just didn't do it for me.  I just found it to be light and, I guess the best word I could use to describe it would be "bland".
