Happy Moarteen day 🎉.
About a month ago, these glittery green razors started landing in their dens and it's interesting what happened: exactly half of the razors never showed up in an SOTD post. Cold feet? Secret shaves? Nobody knows.
Either way, lovely shave with the sub exclusive hardware, and Mountain Man/Silver Mountain Water is a very enjoyable placeholder until the sub exclusive I, Rich Moose can complete the colour-coordinated 100% sub exclusive SOTD.

My fourth shave with Moarteen went relatively well all things considered. No nicks, slices, or blood. Two passes then a finishing ATG pass with the Legacy to get as close a finish as I wanted. Slowly but surely the technique is coming along!
SV is really really good
first time I used it and the lather is easily on par with most other soaps I have. A bit drying on the skin, but once I rinsed off properly and applied the balm it was fine. Moarteen for the theme, Dirtyver because it's a green scent, lemon lime balm because the packaging is green

  Creamy dense lather

I'm not sure of the reason, but of the chypres I have tried, they have a slight soda-like element to them. Anyway, I got a really good shave this morning. Im really pleased how pleasant this Literal Lilac.

A pretty decent and close shave from this very nice razor.
It's hard to believe I've used a straight razor 18 times already.
