I like Tallow + Steel Grog quite a bit, but Tallow + Steel rather quickly retires fragrances to bring out new ones. I’ve not tried any of their current collection (some of which I notice is already sold out), but it’s a brand I trust
With my Plisson European Gray the lather was excellent. I did have to add water for the loading — the Gray has a rather large knot. The end result was fragrant and dense, and the Above the Tie S1 slant, here on a UFO handle, delivered a wonderful shave — exceptionally smooth, due in part I suspect to the two-day stubble.
A splash of Grog (on the face) finished the job, and the week is well-launched.
