    Not a very smooth shave. I did about 1 1/2 passes with my straight and finished with my DE. I don't know if it was my lather or the blade so I touched it up on some crox. Hopefully it's better next time. I need to use my staight more often.

    Nice Shave. I sure did miss the MWF while I was away for the holiday.

    How bout some intel on that TOBS Eton College AS? Does it smell as good as the cream? linger time? etc. Overall what do you think of it?

    The TOBS Eton College AS is not comparable (in my humble opinion) to the cream. The cream has a nice citrus kind of flavour. The AS is more flat and for a few seconds gives you the illusion of the cream scent. Right after that it gets more flat and actually rather bland. The high tones are gone quickly and you're left with something that holds the middle between a cheap supermarket AS and a toilet refresher. Of course, these are purely my subjective feelings and you shouldn't take one person's word as the definitive statement on this product, but all I'm saying is that if you know the cream and think you will smell like that, you will probably be disappointed. I'm only holding on to it because the misses kinda likes it. :-)
