• Razor: Lambda Athena
• Blade: ASCO Super Stainless (Orange)
• Soap: Cella Organic Aloe Vera
• Aftershave/Post Shave: Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel/Cella Organic
• Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir

The post shave feel of this soap is pretty good however I find the residual slickness to be a little lacking particularly in comparison to its elder brother (Cella Red) which contains tallow where as this one is an organic/vegan soap. Whilst I do prefer tallow soaps there are some very good vegan soaps out there although this one in particular is not the best but still gets the job done.

I find the aftershaves from Cella to be quite pleasant whilst giving off a very European cologne like scent. This aftershave is not tacky at all and leaves your face feeling great.

The Athena razor is a pleasure to use and consistently an excellent performer. A definite favourite for me.

• Razor: Tatara Muramasa (316L Stainless Steel)
• Blade: ASCO Super Stainless (Orange)
• Soap: Kiss My Face Unscented
• Aftershave/Post Shave: Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel/Myrsol F./extra
• Brush: YAQI 24mm Moka Express Synthetic

The Tatara Muramasa has delivered a fantastic BBS shave today to remember. Initially I was not expecting this razor to perform well for me as it has had a bit of a love/hate relationship so I did not even bother using anything special for my soap or exert any effort in creating a lather and yet this razor not only gave me a good shave but a great shave. I started off on level 1 with the grain, level 2 across the grain and then finally level 3 against the grain. I really enjoyed this razor today and if it continues to perform this well I will be keeping it firm in my rotation for the foreseeable future.

I haven't used any of my Mysrol aftershaves in a long time now and have to say I have missed them. They are definitely fantastic but have become much harder to find for some reason whilst being impossible to buy locally in Australia.

Have any of you used this razor before and if so what is your opinion?

• Razor: YAQI The Final Cut (Brass)
• Blade: ASCO Super Stainless (Orange)
• Soap: PAA (Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements) Scentless CK6
• Aftershave/Post Shave: PAA Fin Unscented/Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel
• Brush: YAQI 24mm Moka Express Synthetic

I started on setting 2 followed by setting 2.5 then finally setting three. It's likely I could have went beyond those settings but didn't find the need for my use case. The end results is a wonderful BBS shave.
