    The TSD Iced Lime Shave Stick lathered well with Semogue 1305 Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette No Notch Super Speed and PolSilver Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Plan: to stick with a fresh blade each day for a while. This will help the learning curve.
    Going from a dull blade to a fresh blade the next day requires a different touch, not helping the learning curve or a fair comparison between blades
