Sample scoop 1 of 3. Next time I use this, I'll restrict water. It was a little foamy but went on slick. I wasn't able to get any sheen but plenty of peaks. Unfortunately, the soap dissipated as I was shaving. I'm taking the blame on this. I'll do better next time.
Have a good day!

Captains Choice Bay Rum scent is my favorite, but the lather is old school. Light and foamy. You can make it work but it has its limitations.

- Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino - Cubebe - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented - Balm

Probably another two shaves in this smush. 322 is a nice scent, but I'm not sure I'd use a full tub.
Almost Friday!

I blindly bought a 322 tub recently. It's different than I imagined, but I still enjoy it. It's funky and I like that.
-
Yeah it's a really nice scent, I just can't see myself reaching for it regularly.
I'm trying to be more discerning about what I pick up, with varying degrees of success.

- Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan
- Razor: Ralf Aust 5/8 Stainless Full Hollow Spanish Point
- Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
- Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Aftershave
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Like all of the other Seaforth! scents this one is a winner and the Highland base is excellent for creating the kind of slick lather I like for a straight razor shave. At the rate I use Spearhead soaps I have a lot of time before I go through mine, but it is sad that these will be leaving the market.

No tub kill today, but tomorrow for sure. Mood Indigo is a superb scent, and got even better once it was discontinued!
Why is he discontinuing it?
