    Post: Witch hazel splash, Aqua Velva, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Happy Independence Day! A shave with classic American products in honor of today.

    The Williams wanted to be difficult and pull the disappearing act today. I had several nice, stable lathers from Williams last month, but not as much luck today. It didn't disappear too quickly though and was actually pretty darn slick.

    The Twin blade wasn't as comfortable today. I noticed debris caught between the two blades (hair and soap) and no amount of rinsing or swishing could dislodge it. So I finished the first pass and then ejected the Twin for a Chick blade. Finished up some generous touch-ups with the Chick blade with good success.

    Good shave all in all. I'll stick with the Chick blade in the L-type injector for now.

    Have an enjoyable day everyone!

    Now that is great news of its impending release. They contacted me on Friday for my info but did not mention the price would be. Even better news now if in fact $59 for this beauty. Looks like a cousin to the Standard Razor, same finish and almost the same handle design.

    Received a few items today, and had to try some of it (of course).
    I didn't really know what to expect from the blue Proraso, aside from the familiar performance.
    Scent really surprised me, the included menthol as well. Top notch, fresh yet somehow old school.
    The Floïd was a hit, by me at least. SWMBO thinks it smells like old man - told her she was living with an old man, touché!
    Really, really dig that Floïd smell! The talc in it reminds me a bit of Skin Bracer, but the rest is just a warmer "older" scent. Nice!
    Glad I didn't opt for the Vigoroso edition, this one has plenty of scent and menthol for me, yikes!
    Resulted DFS+ was nice.
    My chin has been bugging me the past few shaves, so I think I need to revert to some daily drivers instead of mixing it all up everyday.
    Have a nice day!

    Happy Independence day to all my American friends.

    This set up worked so well I repeated it. Trying new things is fun but sometimes you just want what you know works.

    Outstanding shave tonight. The Casablanca Shave Soap is an amazing shave soap. Both in scent and how easily it develops a long lasting slick lather. The really good news is it is on SALE for only $12.99. What a great deal for this fantastic shave soap. Hurry they won't last long. :)
    A DFS today.
