Somehow, today's soap lather scent was a little stronger and it was very distinctively aromatic tobacco! The lather was thickly creamy and slick too...nice!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was smooth overall until the atg pass on the upper lips area it became a bit skippy. Still, 3passes without any issues for between a dfs to ccs result. The aftershaves especially Whiskey Woods were excellent!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant weekend.

Very nice shave today. Trying to squeeze out more shave out of this blade for a full two weeks on it, but I can tell the quality of shave has gone down. Think I can pull it off. Love the scent of Lisa's "Tobacco Bay". Been a while since I last used it and had forgotten how nice it was. Three passes delivered a DFS+ and I finished with a splash of Booster "Mosswood" after shave and a spray of Creed's "Bois du Portugal" EdP.

Great start to the week!

Rooney 3/2 Ebony Finest (24/54)
Floris Elite shaving soap (tallow) + Bulgarian Rose Absolute/Hydrosol
Carbon Mokume-gane Brass/R2 Copper
Wilkinson Sword 'New' (20)
Floris Elite aftershave (vintage)

The rose hydrosol rejuvenated the fading scent of the soap well. The blade is definitely dragging now, and I am not sure I can get 4 more good shaves with it.

Excellent soap qualities! Fizzy refreshing & cooling sensation, creamily thick and slick lather!!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very smooth and comfortable for all areas in 3passes without any issues resulting in a mostly bbs finish. Enjoyed this combination. Excellent aftershaves too...
