Great shave today as I went into work late and got to use a straight for the first time in over a month. I also shaved with my little boy, so it was extra-special. Nice DFS this morning.

I really enjoy this soap and balm by an artisan who is just starting out. Very easy to lather, delightful light, lime scent, slick, cushioning, and moisturizing.

Comments: Today I had almost a two day growth because I tried a Parker Shavette yesterday that didnt quite turn out as planned for my first try and the shave was cut short! The shave today was once again awesome! I managed to get almost a full BBS with three passes except a very small neck area spot that is more sensitive so I will call it DFS for sure! I used the OC side for first pass then the CC side for the other two. The third pass was actually more for touch up in a few spots and not a complete pass or on all areas! Soap was very good too as this is only the second time I used CB! The lather, protection and feel throughout the shave and the post shave feel was so great that I didn't even use the Alum block as I feel absolutely no irritation at all and didn't get any weepers/nicks, not even in the two spots a got the nick from with the Shavette yesterday so I was happy that I was able to shave over them without any issue. A great shave today and the Wolfman and the CB proved to also be a great combo! All I can say is WOW, what a razor and soap!!! My hats off to Wolfman and CB!!!
