Wholly Kaw - Cuero Oscuro | Zenith Manchurian | Star 1912 | Gem PTFE (2)


I'm really enjoying Wholly Kaw's tallow base.  It's dense and creamy with superb slickness.  It's fairly easy to over-water, so mind that.  The aptly named Cuero Oscuro ("dark leather") won't be for everyone, which is what I believe Wholly Kaw was going for.  A departure from the typically powdery and floral accords of many of their other offerings, this is a bold, smoky, worn leather fragrance.  I very much enjoy this category of fringe masculine scents.

Maggard open comb v2 w/ mrt stainless travel handle, silver blue, la toja stick, omega s, and usual witch hazel/osage rub/ av ice sport (soon to be swapped for proraso green splash).

I really dig the maggard open comb.  Sometimes it bites the skin but I blame that on my occasional rushed shave. It's not as efficient as my 37c slant in terms of the entire shave BUT it gives me the closest WTG pass of any razor I've used.  In turn I will say that my face is a little more hot by pass 3, I'm sure I'll dial that in with time.  Considering I got it to be my travel razor (with matching leather pouch from maggard) I'm very pleased in that I can get easy 1-2 pass DFS' every time and be out of the bathroom ready to go.

All together for the head, the handle, the travel pouch, and shipping around $21 and got it in the mail 4 days later.  Well worth it.

Great Face shave! I love Taylor Of Old Bond Street! I'm gonna try to collect every scent they have at some point. I think their cream is fantastic, definitely my favorite!

I've never seen that Nivea Creme before.  Is it cooling?  I like the packaging/presentation.

Standard razors de, dorco 301, gillette foamy menthol, osage rub

This was my best shave with the standard razors de so far! I've found this one works very well with a mild blade and a very steep angle.  I'm very impressed

I wouldn't say that the Nivea is cooling. At least not in a menthol shave cream type of cooling anyway. I picked this up at Wallgreens. A little bit goes a long way so this tin should last just about forever. It has a nice scent to it and it makes my skin feel good.

Excellent.  It's smells exactly like Floïd Bue, but nourishes almost like a balm.
