Lavanille Luxury Another superb shave with B&M. Lavanille is my favorite scent, today I tried to match CH Sherlock with it. The scents go together well, but I still wish there was some kind of Lavanille cologne. Der Vorschlaghammer destroyed my stubble in comfort with the smooth Voskhod blade installed. My face feels great. Have a wonderful Friday! Prep: Proraso White Soap: B&M Lavanille Brush: HIS lather monster Razor: der Vorschlaghammer Blade: Voskhod AS: Chiseled Face Sherlock

Today was a nice 3 pass shave without irritation. Le Pere Lucien is in my normal rotation. I really like the thickness of the lather and the quickness at which it lathers. The only issue I have with LPL is that it seems to wear down very quickly. I have used at least twice as much LPL as I have MDC over a period of a few months, and I use the MDC more than the LPL.
