Proraso PS Red
Razorock Blue Fougère SC
Darwin Drake 2 band badger
Tanifuji Maxfli Gold
Razorock Blue Fougère AS
3 pass DFS-. Decent shave today today, no drama, no weepers. Although....the Tanifuji needs to visit the 12k stone. It was 'rough and scrapey' even after seeing CrOx and strop time this morning. Managed to get to a CCS everywhere on the 2nd pass, then dedicated the 3rd pass to short stroke buffing on the neck and chin (similar to what
@Primotenore has described working well). While there's a light rough spot here and there (right lower neck)...I didn't want to risk irritation chasing it further.
The Darwin Drake and Razorock SC performed well. Not as overall slick as some of my other SCs, but the Blue Fougère aroma almost makes up for it. Wonderful amount of lather explodes early while loading the brush, along with a dark powdery fougère fragrance, both for the SC and AS. To my newbie nose....I'm thinking a little clove (or Bay Rum mix) added to a solid upfront powdery fougère. The SC comes packaged quite uniquely, a 300 gram brownish 'brick', ~4.5 inch square, 2 inch thick semi soft block. Finished off with the matching AS, with a fair amount of feedback today. Something with most fougère fragrances and me.....long lasting applications, easily catch whiffs of it 6+ hours later.
Hope everyone has a Magnificent Monday!
