    Arko, marvelous stuff.
    Shave soap, works up an instant appearing lather. Great for travel, just as small as a roll of half dollars.
    Gets you a clean fresh scent on your mug, sorta reminiscent of........ well, at least it's clean. Believe it or not, I sometimes long for the industrial bathroom cleaner smell. Besides, the smell is mostly covered later in the process, and very good performance is a quality hard to ignore.
    And before my friends all disown me for calling a spade a spade (or a urinal puck a urinal puck).
    If one can't stand the aroma, it makes great belt dressing if your fanbelt squeaks.

    Saturday shave: I decided to go with my Snail Forge razor fresh of the pasted strops. An über sharp edge but still über smooth. On the firs pass I could feel everything was on point, just focus and don't screw up I told myself..... Yup! finished with an epic shave.

    I've found McCann's good. They are my second choice if I can't find Bob's.

    It could be me and/or my style but I find McCann's a wee bit more starchy/paste. I cook stove top to an 'al dente' level, then eat with milk and some fruit (fresh or dried).

    In the days after I gave up smoking, I'd take some dry to keep my mouth occupied during an hour commute.

    I've never done a double blind test so I couldn't be sure my opinion is without a bias.

    Double TGIF!

    I own the 2011 and used to own the 2013. I agree the 2013 is not the most aggressive, I have a strong preference for the 2011 version and other aggressive razors.

    Ouch! I hope it heals quick.

    I usually bloom and I found the same thing, loaded it like it owes you money and is not answering your calls.

    Now I'm wondering if I should be wearing traditional or the newer synthetic versions.

    Gorgeous shave, Keith! It's beyond me how such a hefty razor can still look so elegant. Fir and leather seems like an awesome scent profile, too. :D
