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.
