Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
Razor: Böker S.S. Paris Wins
Lather: CBL Lavender & Leather
Aftershave: House of Mammoth Almond Leather
This concludes my drill press-themed series of shaves with the rescaled Böker. I’ve really enjoyed this fine razor and the scent combos I’ve tried over the last seven shaves. The B3 brush is also a pure pleasure to use.
CBL Lavender & Leather is not a subtle scent, just a massive punch of leather with sharp, aromatic lavender, but pairing it with Almond Leather was a good idea. Its sweetness rounds out the combined scent.
It’s ok. The base is fine, and the scents are strong. Nothing that swept me off my feet, but no real complaints either. I do not recommend it, at least not until you run out of stuff to try from the better artisans 😄

I think you’re the only one I’ve seen here, or on r/Wetshaving, who has used a CBL soap. Do you like it?
Sad to see the drill press series go but I understand the need to move on :)

Yeah, I doubt that will ever happen.
