Easy Does It
I went with just two passes today to let my face heal a bit. The scent of Route 66 Cavendish is very nice, but the window of water tolerance is rather narrow. I put in too much, and the lather was lacking. I loaded more soap and it worked fine. Tabac is a good compliment, but honestly, I like Tabac enough to wear it everyday.

Doug@Timeless OC + Crystal
Zenith B19
Ryan @ Tallow + Steel Grog - there are many good soaps out. This is a Super soap; one that takes things the the penultimate level of performance and scent and joins others such as Eufros, Pannacrema, Glissant. Well worth a full and comprehensive review which I will post after further use in a week or two. The riff on Bay Rum is absolutely superb!

So, thank you, Shawn( hawns ) for your Chatillon Lux Pre-Shave Butter.  I have never(read "NEVER") been a big believer in pre-shave "stuff."  But, that said, I deal with rosacea/adult acne and I had a break-out below my lower lip and chin this morning, and I am convinced that the Pro Super blade would have made me a bloody mess if it weren't for Chatillon Lux Pre-Shave Butter this morning.  Chatillon Lux Pre-SHave Butter is made from: shea butter, grapeseed oil, cetyl alcohol, and glycerin, plus Bulgarian lavender essential oil.  Yup, it's all good.

Thank you, that's very nice of you to say! My personal theory on pre-shave products is that they shouldn't sit on top of the skin, but rather make the skin softer and more supple for the razor to glide more easily. The theory is trying to make a hyper-moisturizing pre-shave that performs similarly to glycerin pre-shave soap, but with a kind of residual slickness. Very happy that it's working for you, and thanks for the kind words!
