Razor: 1969 (O-4) Gillette Super Adjustable
Blade: Gillette Nacet

Lather: Elysian Soap Shop Styx
Brush: Van Der Hagen Pure Badger
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Fine Lather Bowl

Aftershave: Elysian Soap Shop Styx
Aftershave: Elysian Soap Shop Unscented Skin Balm

Elysian is one of my favorite artisans and for good reason. All of their products are outstanding. Everything is made with high-quality ingredients, that you can feel post-shave. Post-shave is always superb in my experience.

Styx keeps it simple with three notes. Apple, Tobacco, Incense. I pick up on the apple and incense a little more than the tobacco but the three are blended well to make a nice fragrance that's fitting for this time of year.

I did three passes with my beautiful gold Super Adjustable, and with the great lather that I had, earned a nice bbs. Even at setting 9, I find this razor mild. So for me, it's no sweat going against the grain to make sure every last bit of hair is removed and that my face is smooth.

After some Styx aftershave splash, I applied some unscented balm. This stuff truly is amazing. I'm serious. If you're looking for an aftershave balm. You owe it to yourself to try this one.

Elysian quality and a Halloween theme... What more could I ask for? Another great shave!
