Awesome shave today!
Was it the super slick and very pleasant scented new soap?
Was it because I strop the well-used blade on a chrome-oxide laced linen strop trying to copy a fellow forum member?
Perhaps a combination of all factors?
Regardless, today's shave was so smooth and so comfortable for 3passes even for the troublesome atg pass on chin and lips using this GEM without any issues for a bbs to dfs result. Excellent aftershaves...Marvelous shave session.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Today's shave left a lot to be desired. Didn't sleep well last night and felt very groggy this morning and my shave suffered because of it. Oh well, tomorrow will be better hopefully.

Hope you have a great day! And if you're in the bullseye of this ice, be careful!!

Missed using this soap for quite a while and boy...I was reminded what an awesome quality lather it can produce! Supremely thick, creamy & slick! The scent is unique for sure.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very good. So smooth and comfortable for a 3pass mostly BBS result! Feels so good that 2 creepers showed up unexpectedly...hahaha. Excellent aftershave.
