12-09-2011, 10:36 AM #1Torrey "Army" | Thäter 2-Band Bulb | TFS Bergamot Neroli + Jack Black | Thayers Lavender | Penhaligon's Sartorial
A tremendous shave with this Torrey. I started things off with my new Mykelburst Scrupleworks horween/linen strop. It had really nice draw and left the edge nice and clean. I can't wait to break this one in and truly get a sense of it, but I'm very pleased with the purchase! And I also went for my second use of the TFS. I really hit the sweet spot today with the TFS LE soap. Its scent is a bit sweet for my taste, but the lather really works well. Combined with the Jack Black in an überlather, I was provided a moist, protective lather that allowed the Torrey to dance lightly across my face. After two plus passes, I'm BBS and ready for motions day in federal court, after which I'm spending the day with my father who is in town for our traditional guys weekend at the Army-Navy football game. I wish you all a great weekend!
