Oaken Lab Conservatory l Blackbird Ti 

Great shave John! Glad to hear you picked up on the vibe of the scent. It’s originally inspired by the conservatory of flowers in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Thanks for your support as always!

Great shave bro! We were waiting quite awhile for this scent! Glad we both love it! This was last weeks purchase, this week is Illustrious Oud, and next week will be Vespers 🤙🏻

Awesome shave, I 110% agree that silver blues (also Gillette yellows) are like the holy grail blades for blackbirds. My blackbird SS has become my go to but I really want to get my hands on a titanium one and see how I like titanium as well as if I like it better than the SS. The bead blasting on yours looks incredible. For released I’m holding out for Løthur Black, but have a cart full of soaps I would like to snag waiting for Black to arrive at the razor company before ordering 😂

I know you were waiting on this scent for awhile John, Conservatory is on my "to purchase" list!

Nice shave John!

Fantastic shave mang, agree on Oaken’s v3, and aftershave, along with CL’s, they’re my top 2. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the scent, sounds like I’ll enjoy it when it gets here. 🙏🤙

Fougère Angelique, Gravefruit II both on the way !

Cool Blade J!!! This gave me more ammo to order more so I don't run thru it. Lovely shave Homie!!!

i’ll just be buying løthur black next week. namkha will be a hard act to follow but i have faith. great video bro!

Hey John what's up? I just ordered the new Karve razor, the Overlander. I got the bronze. And another thing...have you tried the new Proraso soaps in the new super formula. Yea the classic Proraso soaps the green, red and white have been changed for the better. I've tried them and I see a creamier nice lather with cushion and glide and excellent post shave. Maybe it's a good idea if you could do a vid on them.

Couple stuff I'm picking up this week: HC&C unscented soap, Seaforth SSL, and 345 unscented soap.. I'm gonna get some EO from Hendrix and try out the unscented bases with em. Nice shave with the Blackbird! It's somewhere top in my wishlist lol

Hey, you didn’t mention the caraway in the scent notes. Is it prominent? I love caraway… also, what is your number 1 Oaken Labs scent? Thanks. Great video.

Thanks now I need to get my Sabre bead blasted!

If I'm not mistaken yours is the old Gillette blue type of blade.

Hey John, cool vid. I wanted to ask you if you have a Paradigm razor for sale? 17-4 or diamond back or any other Paradigm? Thanks

great shave, i have been going back and forth between getting the blackbird or the vector. I think you have made my decision. What size handle did you get?

Blackbird in Top2? What bests this beast?

What’s up man!!
