Very nice! Do you find this razor style to be a little difficult to hold, like the tang is almost too thin to get a great grip on?

Actually, I don’t, and I have large hands. It’s a beautifully balanced piece of steel. I find it to be very nimble and it’s great at getting my troublesome neck areas.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. Wonderful lather from the Shaveline NBD soap and I could actually catch the fragrance! :D Three passes of DFS+ bliss, finishing with some Obsession after shave balm and a spray of the matching EDT.

Feeling almost all the way back to my pre-COVID self now. Maybe a slight improvement in my sense of taste and smell, but not much. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Missed using this excellent quality soap for a long time. Wow...truly epic lather! Rich, creamy, and very slick. Mild unique scent.
This razor and blade combination was excellent!! Smooth, comfortable, and efficient. 3passes for a mostly bbs finish but somehow incurred 2 weepers. Aftershaves were just as good too.

Good morning Cadre! Happy Friday!

Another fantastic shave this morning. Went with Asylum's "Flying Mango" soap (made by Saponificio Varesino). Wonderfully slick and cushioning lather. The scent was light to begin with and since my sniffer is still recovering, I didn't get much from the soap. Maybe a hint of wood and spice/pepper. Three passes yielded a satisfying DFS+ result, finishing with a splash of Halston Z-14 after shave splash (plus skin food) and a spray of the matching cologne.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
