    It's great seems like it will last forever and it has a great scent think old spice meets sweet cologne scent. It also has an awesome Post shave feel to it.

    OCtober Fierce Focus

    Mystic Water Raspberry & Lemon
    B-400 Tuxedo and cool tap water
    Osaka ceramic suribachi bowl
    Fatip Piccolo, Personna Lab Blue
    Alum & Proraso Blue Lotion AS

    A refreshing lather provided by cool tap water and a fresh scented soap. Raspberry and lemon come through strong, with "Haitian vetiver and leather notes" that I don't notice, but better noses might detect. Quick dip and shake of the synthetic knot, 20-30 seconds loading the dry puck in a jumbo sized tub, and agitation in a moistened ceramic bowl yielded more than enough lather. Knowing I've had issues taming this OC DE I went in gentle. WTG pass brought me to a correct angle. XTG and light pressure felt good, too. ATG and my angle was off a bit but no errors. Feeling plucky I used the remaining tallow lather to buff and slide for a CCS heading into DFS territory. Alum swipe was a little sparkly on my neck due to the ATG angle faux pas - Ride the Cap! Finished with no alcohol, Vitamin E and Aloe lotion that quieted any irritation using this fierce Italian DE.
    Good Shaves Y'all!

    I think they may be willing to send their Football coach out of here. Interested?

    Sounds like a great shave Charlie. Like you I change out the Feather blades after 3 shaves.

    Nice Looking EJ

    Fantastic photo Rick.

    Thank you Jim & Clint!

    Andrew - Check your blade alignment. The pegs may be small or the holes in the blade large. Which ever it is, when tightening down it can shift the blade just a little. These 3 piece tools already require attention to angle. Having the blade off center won't help.
    Hoping for your best shave yet!

    Thanks Clint. It lathered quite well & was nice and slick. I don't believe it was as slick as the Sheep but I have olny used it one so far so the jury is still out.

    Thanks guys.
