It last but it is soft, This was a Sample I have the Double Strength plain Bay Rum at Home at that last a longer and has more pronounce scent. For the price these are great products maybe not to the level of my St. Johns but close and the scent is a little different so both fit nicely in the rotation. But of course with any scent YMMV. But for the $$ worth a shot IMO

Never liked Dr. Hunter's (read the BS on the back) OBS cream but read someone used it recently so decided to see how it feels - again. Still hate it

Razor wan't where I like them to be. Maybe 9 out of 10. Despite this, I got a good shave. Already working on the razor

C&E best badger brush
KMF key lime cream
W&B Invincible 5/8 square
Proraso LC AS

The W&B was an Ebay special, and it took a little work to get it where I wanted. I think I overhoned it the first time around since I was trying to get at a little nick I found when cleaning it up with MAAS. So I did it over again and got a good edge this time.

Have a nice weekend, folks!!
