    Nivea Men's Face Wash
    TOBS Lavender Shaving Cream
    Vie-Long Horse Hair brush
    '62 Gillette Slim
    Feather Hi-Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Vegetal

    The TOBS Lavender Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Vie-Long Horse Hair Brush. Two passes with my '62 Gillette Slim and Feather Hi-Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I had what I thought was good luck with the kai but later in the day I think I've gotten some in grown hairs and maybe a little razor burn.

    TSD Fall Limited Edition Lanolin Grey Vetiver Soap
    TSD Iced Subzero AS Splash
    Utopia loaded with Crystal Blades (Personna Israel)
    Omega 48 Pro (Boar)

    Today was a simple 2pass DFS featuring more TSD Exclusives. The cool water, slick soap and sharp blade left my skin smooth, while leaving it supple and refreshed. The scent of the vetiver was right on, and I found it very appealing. The TSD Iced Subzero AS provided a perfect menthol finish for this evening's shave.

    Evening Shave
    An easy 3-pass shave with the 5/8 C-MON. I find these style blades probably the easiest-to-use, smoothest shavers in my lot. Sure, you have to watch the square point like a hawk, but they take a great edge, smooth edge and shave like a dream!
    Have a great Friday, everyone!

    Add a late Welcome to TSD from me!

    I am a big advocate of the 30day rule, it really helped me learn good technique. Good luck, have some fun...master that razor and you will be a happy shaver! :)
