Yesterday’s shave was a good one. This razor is the heaviest one I own, and has a very smooth edge. The soap is a new purchase. I had a sample of this on the month long trip I took for most of March, and was impressed by it. When I opened the tub, I was reminded that scent and memory are very strong. This soap will always remind me of my trip to Phoenix to be with my Mother. Not a bad thing. Shave was a three pass DFS, that 24 hours later would still pass a visual look for being clean shaven, although at 3pm the day after I shaved, I have a bit of a shadow. The performance of the soap is top tier. Good scent, slickness, and cushion, and easy to lather. The aftershave was soothing, but not exactly what I was expecting. It is an alcohol free splash, with very light menthol. I’m going to M-bomb it and see if that makes it better.
