Glad you like them! I swear by them. Gillette President 7 o'clock sharp edge Knotty Badger Best QED Sandalwood soap Wesley and Scott Lime SCS Sandalwood EDT Shawn sold me a puck of the QED. I liked it, smells great, kind of a powdery sandalwood. I started to get a very light burn on the last pass though, which is something I have not experienced before. We will have to try it again and see what the deal is. Thanks Shawn!

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep: Shavemac 22mm silvertip fatboy/feather Acqua di Parma SC Lucky Tiger AS Ava Luxe 'Shisa' EdP First and last time using the AdP cream.....scent doesn't appeal to me. Very thick product...similar to Castle Forbes consistency. Nice lather, although I did miss the sweet spot. Little on the dry side, but still provided a slick and protective lather. Skincare was good, and my face feels nice after the shave. Man, I'm glad I tried a sample before pulling the trigger on a jar. It's got a fragrance that's just not for me. Other than that, a BBS result. Martin

Tuesday Hot shower with hot towel threatment Merkur Futur Red pack personnas T&H Trafalgar S/C Zirh Soothe First day with the Personna blades. Not as sharp as the rest but it feels really good. You have to pay more attention if you want BBS but it is very smooth so i could easily go for a 4th pass without irritation if I wanted to. Interesting to see for how many shaves it will last. I'm after a different A/S Balm as the zirh smells a bit funky sometimes.
