Nice enough lather from the soap. Kinda light scent (not sure it's grapefruit) but good quality. Creamy and slick.
Shave with razor and the new blade was good. Crisply sharp, smooth, and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs to dfs result with 2 weepers. Very nice & cooling aftershaves!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Don't think I've ever gotten a bad shave with the 6S. Went with American Blend today. Great for any time of the year. Finished with the matching splash and EdT. I may be ugly but dammit, I smell good!! 😁

Hope you have a great day! :)

Putting aside the question of scent, nothing makes better lather than the old version of XPEC. At 100mm, the Tibam is a bit longer than I prefer, but it balances the H&S head well.

Blade Bolzano Superinox Inossidabile 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel BayRum + Hyaluronic
Was able to dial up the soap into a super nice thickly creamy and very slick lather with a scent I like very much but just too mild...!!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Smooth and comfortable in 3+1passes for a bbs to dfs finish. So good was the shave, a half pass performed on the neck and that resulted in 2 creepers...dang! Too greedy...hahaha 😆
Very nice burn and good scent from the BayRum Witchhazel.
