Great shave. I am finally starting to enjoy these alcohol free splashes from Macduffs. Great scent even though it’s seasonal I’ll be grabbing it all winter.

Great shave. This scent is a very enjoyable tea type scent. The soap performs exceptionally. I plan to try more moon soap products in the future I’m thrilled with this one. I have their union scent on my mind for my next order, I’ve read good things on here.

Nice. Water softener is a great addition. It seems to make rinsing so much better and I agree the lather works up way easier. Congratulations!

Nice shave. This scent really does give me a mountain feeling. I’d say they did a good job and it was dirt cheap.

The Tatara blades are quite harsh in this razor. They do work ok but I’ll use different ones in this setup in the future.

Good shave today. The blade was a bit harsh on the first run in this razor, not unexpected it’s a bit of a biter.

The scent is great and their non-alcohol splashes are growing on me. I cut my hand yesterday and the thought of applying alcohol splash made me a bit concerned.

It’s been a very mild winter so far for most of Canada, thankfully. The summer vibes will be crucial when we are hitting -40c.

The Tatara blades are working well for me but I have only tried them in the Overlander which is a wonderfully forgiving razor. The Overlander even makes those feather blades useable.

Good shave today. This scent is exactly what I was expecting. This is a pleasant woody Christmas scent with strong spice notes.

Great shave. Excellent scent like some sort of berry tea which is right in my wheel house. The soap and aftershave both worked very well, super happy with this purchase.

Great shave. This soap performs very well, slick, and lathers quickly.

The aftershave scent is excellent. Very pleasant and quite strong. It is so much more than I was expecting. This is absolutely NOT just a pine tree hanging car freshener with a twist.

  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Aftershave

Good shave. This scent is still very out there for me but I like it more today. The aftershave seems to have way more noir than vert off the start but dries down and smells ok. It has almost a camp fire type scent at times reminds me of those black crackle cigarettes.
