    Clubman is known as "The Quintessential BarberShop Scent"
    And after using it on and off throughout my shave life, I now know what they meant.
    But for those who think it equivalent to cat pee
    You guys just have to look and see
    The high number of 5-stars on Amazon Clubman represents.

    (Note: Would cat pee be 5-stars????)

    Fantastic shave setup and photo, Pierpaolo!
    I've never tried a synthetic knot from Omega, although I know they offer a few different grades. How is the one used in your shave today?

    First less than great shave with the ATT S1.
    However I used a different blade, instead of my usual Personna or GSB I used one of the remaining Rockwell blades I've had since I got my 6C and Model T. Most were given away with gifting the razors. I like their razors but perhaps not their blades.
    Could not get to BBS unless lots of extra passes to try. I believe the bad shave is that the blade is just not sharp. Born to be Mild.

    Also I now note the blade I put in for my not so great first ever Shavette shave was also a leftover Rockwell blade. Lots of tugging, could not do ATG. So when I revisit the Shavettes, different blade.

    Thank you, but y'know maybe I should set the water back a bit to, as I call it, "luke-cool". It seems the hot/warm shave water is taking control over the Glacials. It's frustrating-the hot water helps the shave itself, but I don't quite care for a warm face during these hot&humid days. But thank you for your compliment. :)

    It’s not a question of my expertise, Jim, but rather what will happen to you if you stand next to a blind man at a urinal today! :)

    I would never question your expertise on the subject, Jeff.

    Splendid shave, Jeff!
    I'm thinking the use of the Humpreys Lilac is your version of "The Veg Lite" for the post shave. :)
