Back to the shop, so no videos today, bug a nice SE Shave with the Vector and the Ethos Succes a very nice homage to Creed Aventus. I will be doing a full review on the next day off. The performance is Ethos as good as expected and this is very Pineapple forward in comparison to Aventus, however a very nice accompaniment. Easy to load, easy to lather .
3-passes and DSBBS / VSBBS -Review to follow:

Nice photo and set up Dave! Frank's base is my favorite base with CBL and now PAA's CK-6 very close behind. The Succès scent is very pleasant and my wife's personal favorite!

Dave, I have loved your SOTD pics since reading your Journal in the old neighborhood. Your pics are always well done and make me want to spend my whole paycheck on the products displayed. Thank you for taking the time to create and post them. There is artistry in the framing and composition of your photographs. Keep it up!
After my face reacted poorly to the Dragonsbreard soap and splash, I have been hesitant to try the ETHOS product line. However, your review of the ETHOS/CBL True Lime has made me rethink my position on those products. I think that, once I have room for new software in my den, I will be purchasing some of the Lavender and Unscented products. Thank you for helping me reevaluate my opinion of these products. I am looking forward to some really good shaves with them.

... Lather, Rinse, Repeat.....
Being back in the shop now, does not quite afford me the time to do an SR shave each day, as these I don't Like to rush, and sometimes I end up using the same software each day for the 4-days I work, which sucks as well, but it is efficient. In this case however since receiving the Ethos Line, It has not been bad. Yesterday's shave was so good that I decided to do it again. Much better results as I got to know the soap better in this case, and will amend my previous conclusions that it was a bit less, performance wise than the lime. I was wrong. Getting more acquainted with the soap properties today, allowed me to get a lather on par with the lime and my beloved SV and Pannacrema. So I will be alternating through Sunday with the 4 heavy hitters for a final shootout among the titans and ranking, along with a comprehensive review of the Sucess line, to see if my bold iitial statement of Ethos surpassing SV and Pannacrema are in fact warranted in a head to head. The hardware will be varied, but it should be fun.
I will try to get caught up on your journals, videos and posts over the next couple of days.
Today was as expected, and although very mild the new King Gillette is starting to gain favor. As stated above the soap is a real performer and the pineapple is sooo nice. 3-passes today and DSBBS and the splash, some talc and the Aventus make for a great start to the morning.
Hope you all have a great day!

I picked up my KCG today at Walgreens. Now, I just have to decide if I'm going to open it, or just collect it. I'm awaiting my Ethos Line set, but that I'll definitely be using! Great read!Date: 05.21.2020 SR Shave #1743 (Holding) DE Shave

Same. Only about 10% of me wants to open it and use it...... but I know if I do, I'll use it once or twice and never use it again, soo.......
Buy 2 LOL
Considering..... I bought the only one they had. If I go back and they have another, that 10% of me will consider it. But the packaging will need to be pristine. Mine is kinda marred up, which I’m not happy about.
