How do you get along with the AoS?

How do you get along with the AoS?

It was kind of dried out when I first got it, but after some blooming, it's been producing some great lathers. I like it a lot.

I had wondered about the drying when I saw your picture, but I'm glad you got it sorted. I'm not normally a fan of blooming soaps, but sometimes needs must.

Duke Cannon's anti-perspirant is really good as well.

P&B's Imperial Rum, for me, is the best Bay Rum scent out there. Unfortunately, most just smell of cloves and very little else.

Well Duke Cannon SC cost a little more, but have a look how much bigger the tin is. Scents are both great out of the tin, but longevity and projection are weak vs a regular liquid EDT/EDP/cologne.

DC is a little softer and easier to apply. P&B is rock hard making it difficult to get a decent (or detectable) amount onto the fingertips

There are certain hard soaps, like MWF, OSP and the discontinued Fine pucks, which I find need some blooming.

Thought I better do the D.R. Harris justice

Brush:- P&C LE Platypus 24mm Bulb
Soap/Aftershave:- D.R. Harris - Windsor
Razor:- Wolfman WR1 OC with WR2 Handle
Blade:- Aussie Spoiler (1)

The WR1OC is still a tad too aggressive (just a smidgen) no rash but can feel the burn post shave.
The Aussie Spoiler has mellowed it compared to Astra and Wizamet.
Will have to try a Rubie to see if can hit the sweet spot.
WR1OC is the only OC where I comfortably ride the combs and not even touch the cap
