For some reason, not the best of shaves today. I don't know if the razor needs a touch up, or the soap simply wasn't up to snuff today, but I had lots of weepers... Despite the tribulations, I soldiered on to a two pass CCS!

Hot shower prep

One of my favored blades which doesn't get a workout as often as I could wish. The Lavanda is a solid performer. The TARR is great. A strong spice scent which is down to peasant by the time I leave the shave den.

I loved this superlather, the scent was "special", but in a good way (for me, I can easy imagine that someone else would think it to be a stinker :)).
