Back home from my travels. A very enjoyable, quick shave today. I was quite surprised at how close this shave was. The progress on this Zenith brush is just phenomenal. I know that it will improve, but it does not need to.

Jack has an Italian cologne vibe to it. Really very nice. Certainly worth a sample if you’re interested. This boar brush has finally transitioned into total goodness. Excellent shave today!

Great shave! I haven't used Monarch in a while. Great stuff!
Like you, I feel like I can make almost any soap work. I think Tusk is fine, but not top tier for me. I assume Vida uses Ben's formula when she makes it. Her Darkwing base, OTOH, is top tier for me. Ben's fragrances with Vida's Darkwing base would be a great match for me. He should just offer that option.

I've been missing this fragrance. Really enjoyed it today. I think it combines well with Roman Spice, but most things do :)
