Well, our South Coast Winter is over. Bright sunny partly cloudy at 81
° F. Feels like Florida so with that to Inspire my Focus I whipped up a tallow lather. Dropped a fresh blade in the Clone. Keeping with the FLA theme a gator chopping Nacet made it's debut in my den, thanks to Andrew
@Linuxguile and a sampler tuck.

There's a proper orientation when clicking the cap in place. Two little dots (far left) mark the far side opposed to the raised bump (far right) for releasing the cap. Otherwise blade alignment may be affected. The inner workings do hold the blade in correct alignment.
Lather applied, razor refreshed, I set deviated from The Neal Protocol & the adjustable function to 3-1/2. Three passes and clean ups, with some Ming Shi Slides I'm satisfied. These blades are functional. I found the need to invent a new pass on my outer, lower lip. Usually an upward stroke does the deed. This razor has a large cap with downward turned flanges that cover the end of the blade. A careful set down and a downward stroke removed stubble that I'd missed on precious shaves.
Alum was silent, Osage splashed on cool, and Florida Water brought the scent. A DFS with no errors.
Good Shaves Y'all!

@jtspartan - This and other similar scented soaps make a good match to the AS/Cologne!)
