SOTN June 29th C2 Gillette Super Adjustable Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (7) Ever-Ready 200T Stirling Spice Stirling Spice has to be one of the strongest scented soaps that I have ever used. And the scent lingers even after the shave. I had a very nice drama free shave last night compliments of Stirling and my birth-year Black Beauty. And went to bed still smelling the sweet, powdery, spice. Happy Friday everyone!

Schick G8 razor Personna blade WD Synthetic brush VDH Luxury SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol Very nice Friday shave. All the parts liked each other and worked well together. I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Bon Vivant made excellent lather again, good enough that I was able to use a Rockwell blade and the R5 plate easily. It did not get as close as I like, but good enough. I love the pairing of Lavanille and BV, but I'm looking forward to having the BV toner to match. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
SOTD Followup: If the 2011 R41 is teaching me anything, it is revealing which of my soaps are slick and which aren't. i.e. Mystic Water = Slick; Meißner Tremonia = Not Slick.
