    Ericsson Open Comb
    Treet Platinum (4)
    Arko
    RR Plissoft

    Final shave of the moth and ended with good results. The Treet platinum gave it up after the first pass and I really had to focus on angle and pressure. Had to use the G-Slide on the final pass to get the closeness that I wanted to which yielded really good results on a failing blade. Got BBS on the face and a DFS on the neck. The Alum gave a little burn in a few spots but the aloe infused WH and the Nivea ASB cooled, soothed, and smoothed. I really love having my face BBS where it doesnt matter so much on the neck. Have a great day my friends!

    Razor: Pre-War Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Astra SP (2)
    Brush: VdH Boar
    Soap: Nutragena French Milled Soap

    A bit about the soap choice: Last month, I stayed in a Hampton Inn that featured Nutragena products. On a whim, I shaved using the French Milled Soap and was very impressed, ultimately kicking myself for not taking it with me. Monday, I stayed overnight at another Hilton property which also had the Nutragena soap and was again impressed, this time remembering to take it home with me.

    Because of the size of the bar, I rubbed it on my face like a shaving stick and face lathered. If I had any issues, it was that I might have used too much soap. The resulting lather was very nice with good protection and slickness. If anything, it may actually be a little too slick (if that is possible).

    For the soap gurus, a quick search online lists the ingredients as:

    Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Cocoate/Sodium Palm Kernaelate, Water, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Pentasodium, Geraniol, Linaloci, Titanium Dioxide.​

    Can somebody fill me in as to how that compares to a regular shaving soap?

    Bottom line- a DFS shave both yesterday and today.
