I decided that the Roam Tonique, while amazing smelling, may not be the best choice before meetings with conservative clients. Plus I wanted to throw out a recommended pairing. La Quatrième Ville with Roam smells like a cowboy cleaned up for the ladyfolk. Finished off with Encre Noir.

razorock Mentor + Gillette Platinum Plus
Barrister_N_Mann Le Petit Chypre - first shave with LPC. Here's the verdict: use this soap! Fantastic scent and of course performance.
Wolf Whiskers 24mm Synthetic Sherwood Forest
Myrsol Agua Balsalmica

BLACKBIRD // OMEGA 6793 // SOAP COMMANDER
The scent on this soap is bright and spicy.  The right choice for a cloudy spring day.

Mid-shave Switch

• OneBlade
• Clipped GEM PTFE (1 pass)
• Smiling GEM PTFE (2 passes)
• PannaCrema Nuàvia Rossa
• Plisson Faux Horn
• Chatillon Lux La Quatrième Ville

I couldn't even force my way through a second shave with this clipped GEM blade. It does not perform near as well for me as the smiling GEM (spine removed but not clipped). Once the replacement blade was in all was good.

Brian, I have not tried the OneBlade so this is strictly curiosity on my part but wouldn't you think the clipped blade would work better as it is closer in design to what the razor's developers had in mind? Do you have any thoughts on why the unclipped GEM works better for you?

Hey Kevin- Thanks. It really is a beauty, and an incredible knot. Let's hope Omega makes more like this.
Cheers
