Happy Friday all and it’s nice and sunny today but some active weather is headed our way. Reached for the AS-D2 again today for the sheer enjoyment of some more mild bliss. Loaded up with a fresh Personna Super (Lab Blue).

Soap of choice today Dr. Jon’s 13 with the matching splash. Lovely scent and a great performer.

Three beautiful passes and we’re back to BBS for the start of the weekend. Decided on Guerlain Habit Rouge for the fragrance which is quite complementary. Enjoy the weekend folks because as they say...Winter is coming.

Happy Monday. No shaves put in this weekend so I was looking forward to the morning shave. No drama just relaxing the chops. AS-D2 loaded up with the Personna Lab Blue.

Proraso Red was handy and so I went with lovely Sandalwood for today. Lovely stuff Proraso and I have all the scents on offer but there is just something so right about this scent to me.

Just a DFS two passer this morning was all that was needed. Finished up with a complimentary balm and lotion and some Guerlain Santal Royal. Hope your weekend was good. Stay safe!

Not a bad shave but not stellar either. Razor today the Supply Injector with a fresh Schick blade. Went with the one dot plate or the mildest of the three. Not bad but lots of work to knock down the minimal stubble.

Soap of the day Club CBL...I love Pinaud Clubman...nuff said.

Lovely two pass DFS but I have switched out to the two dot plate for tomorrow. Have a good one Cadre!

Back to the Supply Injector with the two dot plate and a much better result. Supply calls it the “classic” setting, which I can’t really comment on as I am nowhere near an expert on “Injector” style razors. This is my only one. I do however find that I get on far better with the middle plate than the mildest or the three dot. Go figure.

CBL Breakfast Blend today for some premium coffee inspired shave goodness. If you like coffee scents you should enjoy this one. I do.

Lovely two pass DFS this morning. Added the DG Scrumtrulescent AS which is chocolate, coffee cake goodness and some B&BW Noir to finish a great start to the day. Have a good one! Stay safe!

Morning, Ed. Yes, I agree with you that the 2-dot is the better plate. I sort of wish that there was a 2.5-dot plate to just tweak it a smidgen.
