The blade continues to be sharp and smooth, so I'll continue to use it. The brush has some of the softest tips of any of my brushes, but it worked quite well on the soap. And the old aftershave scent blended really nicely with the fading one of the soap.

I went back for round 2 with the Gillette New Long comb. This then would be shave 2 with the Personna Comfort Coated blade. It turned out to be another really good (3 pass) shave with the modified club cola soap (a few drops of the, surprisingly absent, lemon oil). As usual, the Stirling Glacial was used for pre and post shave.

Very happy to have found an OC that (so far) I can actually use. This has been a trouble spot for me forever. I don't think it would ever be good for every shave, but as a change of pace, it's a nice den addition.

Have a wonderful Sunday folks!

One last time with the Blackland Vector that  a good friend loaned me.  This time I went with a fresh Feather Pro.  The Feather was not quite as good as the Proline, but OTOH the ETHOS Mélange d’Agrumes sweetened the deal right back up.  Still, I will be sorry to see the Vector go.

The lighting on this picture... Wow!

The brush looks like a gemstone and that razor is glowing. Beautiful work.
