    +1 regarding IanS Cinnamon Girl,. Fantastic smelling soap and a great performer. One of the best soaps under the radar. Haven't tried the Chai Tea but if it smells anything like real Chai Tea I know I would like that one with the quality of the Maggard Soaps.

    Overall another DFS close to BBS. The blade performance is unbelievable in every razor I have used it in so far.

    6/8 Friodur
    TOBS Sandalwood Soap, changed my mind at the last moment
    rehandled SOC 2 band knot
    Very nice shave this morning. This SOC 2 band fits my expectations of what a nice badger knot is, o.k., I won't bring it up again but I really like it and picked it up 1/2 price. My other favorite is a Shavemac pure. I've spent alot more money on knots but these are doing it for me, at least for now. Throw in
    a good boar or two and I'm happy. Have a good one.

    Single Edge Sunday...

    I went for it...and just dove off the deep end. I won this straight a while back in a PIF, and got the wild hair to give it a go. I read @youngunn post and was curious if straights could really ruin it for safety razors.

    I've been doing my homework and watching videos to help with technique tips. I went 2 passes with some clean up.

    My chin burns a little, but overall, I got a really good shave. Best of all, I walked away without any bloodshed.

    I think my single edge Sunday is now going to be Straight Razor Sunday...

    Now I need to learn how to keep this thing sharp. The kit included some stuff, but I don't know where to start...let the youtube research begin...

    Enjoy your weekend Gents...

    Love the Lime Sec. I find it fades too quickly though.

    Had insomnia from 2 am after falling asleep at midnight. So I went downstairs and trolled random cable shows until I was running too late to get a shower before church. So I went with a proraso aloe and vitamin e shave and proraso aloe and vitamin e cream face wash. Results: cool as the other side of the pillow. Splashed some of the new shave den traditional scent with menthol milk on the face and result were more cool. Hashtagfrozen!
    Have a great day boys and girls.

    I'm thinking that someone here has put together a safety razor blade review. I know it's a personal choice but all blades have certain qualities which make them better or worse for different faces. Can someone point me in this direction? Much appreciated in advance.
