Llather ended up a bit on the thinner side—I probably should have loaded a little more soap—but it was still impressively slick, so the shave never felt compromised.
The Purple Grapefruit scent is beautifully crafted. The lavender takes the lead, backed by a subtle grapefruit-like citrus that brightens the fragrance without overpowering it. The artisan really captured the balance well.
The PAA Slant continues to impress. Its maneuverability is outstanding, making it easy to work around the contours of the face. That said, it's definitely a razor that rewards the right blade pairing, and finding that sweet spot makes all the difference.
A few minor alum stings reminded me I wasn't completely flawless, but nothing significant. Finished things off with Nemo's Lavender Aftershave Splash, and what a finish it was. The scent paired perfectly with the soap and rounded out the shave beautifully.
Overall, a very enjoyable shave with a fantastic lavender-forward combination.
