As always, Mike's provided an awesome shave, though I had some issue with the lather this morning. I haven't cleaned my brush thoroughly and shampooed it in a while. It usually gets much better after that. I also enjoy referring to the tin as "battle scarred". I'm one who is more interested in the inside contents than the external presentation. So I laugh it off.

Taum Sauk is a great scent, but my, that menthol level was more potent than I recall. I still felt it for 20-25 minutes after application.

The Gillette Rubie blades continue to impress me. Smooth and sharp in both the Fat Boy and the R41. I need to stretch a blade out and see how long I can go with it, since they are fairly pricy.

This is the 3td of 3 lather catchers I recently purchased. The 1st one (a different Ever Ready) was so aggressive that I couldn't use it. It appears that the comb is bent and it just didn't work for me. #2 is the Gem Jr and it is so mild that a decent shave is impossible for me. This final one did a fine job though it feels a bit aggressive also. But totally usable and I'm ready to go. First time with the Citrus Musk and I like it. So does my bride and that's what really counts. Now go enjoy your day folks.
