  • Brush: Wald Stratos Goldvein 29mm A1 Fan

  • Blade Holder: Gillette Fatboy E4 (setting: 4)

  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (7)

  • Lather: The Holy Black - Gunpowder Spice - Soap

  • Aftershave: The Holy Black - Gunpowder Spice - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This scent is exactly like it sounds; Old Spice with a note of gunpowder added. As a long-time Old Spice user, I love it! The Holy Black also got the scent strength for the aftershave spot on. It doesn't have the takeover-the-room scent level that the real stuff has, but is medium-strong by today's standards. This is a nice nod to the past. I was planning to use my Shulton Old Spice today, and may use it for my SLS, but Gunpowder spice provided a very satisfying shave.
