Dude, I've told ya. It happens and I try to fix it and I can't. I think the forums can't distinguish one Dave from another sometimes. Now only if I can get Paladin shipping to make the same mistake.

Sounds good if we can get the same confusion from Penhaligon shipments ?
 
I like how you just use the scent notes of the Soap Commander. That's what I do. Charisma? Courage? Integrity? Pulchritude? Whatever. I like the cucumber scented one. I actually just had to Google the name of my favorite SC scent (it's Motivation).

Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Graham Field Med Prep (3)

Brush: Razorock 400 Noir

Soap: West Coast Shaving Campfire

Aftershave 1: Nivea 2 in 1 Aftershave

Aftershave 2: Pinaud Whiskey Woods

This is a soap I got thru BST here from KJ as I love camping and especially a campfire and this one literally hits you in the face with a campfire smell. No sweet smores or hotdogs cooked on a fire but a clear campfire smell. I like it. Will I reach for it regularly? No, but it will definitely be used when the mood strikes me. Lather while not elite, was very good.

Now this was to be shave 3 with the Graham Field blade. I finished the left side of my cheeks and thought, " No, I'm done with this experiment". It clearly was not going to smooth out. I couldn't figure out how a certain someone could do 65 shaves with one, unless I had finally met someone who was more stubborn then me. I will be letting the wife know I'm not the most stubborn person around. Science can go on without me. It was binned and back to a GSB on shave #3. I thought I literally heard my skin cheer as the GSB landed to finish the shave.

Topped off with the Nivea 2 in 1 Aftershave, followed by Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods. Have a short workday today in a couple hours so relaxing with Coffee, news and forums. Have a resplendent day Cadre !!
 
Nice shave Dave! I saw the WCS campfire the other day and was wondering what kind of scent they were going for. I thought it would either smell like a campfire theme, s’mores and a woodsy feel. Or it would smell like you just literally set a bunch of logs on fire in your bathroom lol. Guess it was the latter! Enjoy the short day!
 
Well you did more than me. So I get to tell my wife there are two people more stubborn than me!

And how is it possible to get 65 shaves off one blade???
 
How did I not know about that soap???? Now I'm torn between needing to try it and not needing two soaps that smell like fire smoke.
 
Good shave! Glad you binned that blade, I cringed when I saw it listed in your kit.

22 degrees?! Man that’s horrible.
