My second round with this whale vomit B&M 42 is not too bad and I, think, I can keep this soap in my den. However, I'm still not so sure at the moment.

Wanted a Gillette this morning given my run of modern razors lately. The iKon El Jefe was an interesting departure but the first TTO ever designed by Gillette seemed in order. The first Generation Aristocrat TTO is as smooth as it is beautiful though opinions vary of course. This 34/35 was my “White Whale” for awhile but I finally caught him. Loaded with a Wilkinson Sword (German) this morning.

Soap of the day TFS GdiT is a lovely performing soap with a great scent. If you have an order into Italian Barber anytime soon grab this one with the matching balm or any of the TFS soaps. They are vegan based unless I have missed anything and the scent profiles I have tried have all been winners.

Lathered up and got through a very nice two pass DFS. No muss or fuss. Just wanted to get cleaned up and on the road. They got it right with the first TTO in my humble opinion.

Happy shaves and safe travels all.
