Mmmmm - I loved CRSW and miss them - refined scents and great performance. How do they stack up against the latest formulations?
It was a while I hadn't used it and this morning's shave made me realise that that was a mistake. I especially liked their Bois Floraux (unfortunately finished) but also this Spring is very nice. Scents were indeed their strength. Lathering is decent but maybe not the top tier

An effortlessly enjoyable 3 pass shave, today.

The dial down test from last time seemed to have done the job at the time, but the stubble returned far soone than usual, , so I reverted back to sticking to setting 7 for all 3 passes and just made sure to take my time and be completely focused on technique and not go overboard on those problem spots.

The Glycerin soap and Stirling barbershop combo made for an effortless glide and loads of protection on all 3 passes without any post shave issues.

Couldn't have asked for better, really.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

A very late Shave as spent too long changing duvet covers. Not that good a finish as I rushed the Shave too much.
