    Saturday:
    hot shower w/Yardley Winter Garden bar soap
    TOBS Herbal Pre-Shave Gel
    Parker Variant (set just past 3) 2+ passes
    Family Dollar S/S (made in S Korea) (2)
    EverReady boar
    TSD London For Men Type (with lanolin) in a warm mug
    Thayers unscented WH
    Brut Attitude A/S

    Terrific shave this morning. Nothing but good to say about all of the components, hardware and software both.
    I've been pleasantly surprised with the generic Family Dollar blade but part of that might be the geometry of the most excellent Variant. As always, I was able to whip up a wonderfully smooth and thick buttery lather with the TSD. I especially like the added lanolin in the winter time for it's skin soothing properties.
