The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

I have always heard that Grooming Department made a very slick soap. I tried a sample quite a wile ago...but I don't think it was one of the better formulations. One of these days I will have to pick up a tub.
 
Today, I just had a great shave with Honeybee Soaps and a great tribute to Sue. She will be greatly missed.

Here are my shaves for the last two days. My first time using my new GD soaps. Elan is a Vegan Formula, and Chyphre Conifere is a Donkey Milk formula. I can't tell the difference between them. Both are excellent. Slickness is out of this world! I didn't think anything could ever provide Williams level slickness, but these do, possibly even more slick than Williams??

Elan is a great Juniper and Pine scent, really well blended. It's not overly sweet as juniper can be (CC North), because the pine needle scent tempers it perfectly.

Chyphre Conifere is an awesome scent and is a great blend. What I get from it is citrus, ambergris, pine, and woody notes. Just amazing scent. I'm so glad I have both of these.

I do not consider these to be elite, but definitely Tier 1.

I'm testing out the Rockwell 6C. First plate 3, then 4. So far I'm finding the shave to be very slick as the smooth cap glides really well compared to the matte finish on the 6S.I've also read a few folks say that the 6C is more aggressive than the 6S. So far, I'd have to disagree, and almost feel it swings the other way. I'll have to do a side by side to really compare them.

Slicker than Williams? Wow!
 
I've heard the same about the 6c vs the 6s, but I've found the 6c to be either the same or possibly a bit less aggressive. Plate #4 in the 6c has given me outstanding shaves so far. Plate #4 on the 6s also gave excellent shaves, but it did seem a bit more toothy.
 
I wish my job was mysterious like that. But it would be "I have somewhere I need to be, but I can't tell you. I'll be back in an hour" "Dude, aren't you just going to a meeting down the hall?" "......ya"
