23 April 2018 Second shave with this combo. To my nose, the Coates Tea Tree scent leans toward the medicinal. I think that if it was stronger, I'd not use it. But there is no denying the great lather it serves up and the fine post shave skin feel. I may try one of the other flavors tomorrow.

Today's menthol Monday shave Hot water wash with a washcloth Razorock 400 Bombed Soap Commander Vision Gillette slim (j2)(7) Rapira (3) Iced Aqua Velva ice blue Today's shave was nice. A good menthol Monday shave. Hope y'all did as well, or better. I've finally seen a little hole in the bottom of a SC tub. They last forever it seems.
Menthol Monday I tried Perma Sharp blades for the first time and it went well. I could tell these are pretty sharp, but the shave was smooth and easy. I only made one pass on my neck because it's still a little tender, but Reserve Cool calmed it right down. Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Rockwell 6s R6 Blade: Perma Sharp Super Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer Lather: B-M Reserve Cool Aftershave: B-M Reserve Cool Additional Care: PAA Cube

The set up that gives me the most satisfaction is: Gillette Twinjector/Proraso/Personna floating head razor. I`m just about out of the blades and I can`t find anymore, I`ve looked everwhere I know. Where do you get your Twinjector II blades? Bill

There are some others that come within a whisker or two ( pun intended). A 2 pass, WTG/ATG shave went smooth as always. No anomalies, just great shaving. That refreshing feeling after a cold water rinse and a good AS, makes for a very Happy Camper. God Bless. Bill

Brand spanking new and took a fine edge. A 2 pass whisker removal that left me face finely chiseled. No jimps on the tang, but overall very nicely balanced, mild and a fine piece of steel for the $$$. Have a great day and shaves Gents....

Sunday Night Shave - 4/22/2018 SUDSY SOAPERY Lavender & Peppermint Soap and Balm - Just INCREDIBLY SLICK!!! Very Natural scent and feel! NOTHING ARTIFICIAL HERE FOLKS - I use all caps because the SS needs more love, there better than 90 percent of all the soaps I have, and yes better than most tallow soaps and I LOVE Tallow ( I could care less about veganism and animals and blah blah), but this soap destroys most tallow formulas. Back to my Valet vc4 because its just an amazing razor - used a Fresh Feather SS - so it was perfection. Peace, Jamie PROOF that Sudsy Soapery has the BEST Lather and Yes did i say it is SLICK!!!!!!!!
That's gotta be some SLICK lather! Just to look at the pic, I had to keep scrolling up with the mouse as the pic was sliding ever downward.
