New cigar soap! From the tub...too mild but can detect something aromatic. The actual scent only comes out during lathering and ohhh my..very nice...aromatic cigar scent..though abit too mild for my nose. Struggled to get more... the performance was good.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was ok. Mostly smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a bbs to dfs result without any issues. The light cigarish scent remains after rinsing...very nice. Wish I had gotten the balm too so the scent can last longer...

Mar.13: ASD2 w/Indian-Wilkie(6) ......... Chubby2, synth ....... Palmolive stick ...................... Captain's Choice Lime balm

Even with 2 years after purchase, the Captain's Choice Lime balm hits the face with a wonderful , light scent. By the time I am done dressing, my nose is accustomed to it but the skin benefits continue nonetheless.

Workout-wise, rather than alternate the bench press and dumbbell rows per day, I did both today and will try to continue is this vein.

Today's workout was:
- 150' @150lbs farmer's walk
- 3x7 @ 70lb bench press
- 3x7x2 @50lb dumbbell rows
- 35 mins on the elliptical

What did you think of Fine's new soap?
So far I'd say it's pretty comparable to their previous version, but a bit less in slickness and post shave. I'd have to use it a few more times to get a better read on it though.

First shave with the new Stirling Soap CO SS razor. This is the standard plate on the Austin handle. Very smooth and efficient razor. IMO, even the standard plate is more efficient than the Rockwell 6S using the 6 plate with much more blade feel. For those who enjoy blade feel this is a must have.
