No nonsense good quality lather from the soap.
Shave with razor paired with the well-used blade was reasonably ok. While still smooth but definitely less efficient. Managed 3passes for a ccs to sas result and 1 tiny bump removed. The splash is really kinda mild...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Fantastic shave today! I observed "No-Shave Sunday" yesterday so that means today's shave was especially nice! Got in Frank's / @Dragonsbeard new soap in the new F Base (F for "firm") and, as with all Frank's wares, I was blown away by the scent and performance. Three passes for a DFS+ result. Finished with a splash of Frank's "Clean" skin food splash with a little RazoRock "Essential Oil of Lime" AS mixed in and a spray of Versace "Eros" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

The blade was slightly smoother this morning, probably because of the Paradigm head. The cream and aftershave were excellent.

Awesome soap! The intoxicating scent, icy feel with nice creamy and slick lather...wow!
I am loving this extra hollow razor more by the shaves....initially don't like it due to tugging, chattering, and skipping. Now the edge is really keen and yet very smooth...wow! Today's 3passes resulted in my best ever finish...between dfs to bbs...awesome!!! At a small price of 3 micro red spots...not bad at all. The shaved area feels so smooth.....
