    Cat o'Nine Tails is a more full bodied bay rum. Yes, its got some sting to it but the scent has a strong molasses aroma right through the middle. That molasses scent blows off after a few good minutes and it calms down to deep bay rum.....that also blows off of you an hour later. Its an interesting version of bay rum.

    FRIDAY
    Hot shower prep
    Razor: Henckel’s “Rapide”
    Blade Kampfe hollow ground
    Soap: RazoRock original
    Mug: set
    Brush: set
    Aftershock: none
    Splash: none

    The day? Snow and blow..-1ºC! Snow expected over the next seven days but one. The Shave? A really nice shave once I remembered to get a low angle on the blade. The RR did its usual job of providing a pleasant long lasting lather.
    The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

    The razor is just warped and I got sick of trying to be delicate when honing it. The other side doesn't look great either.

    It does kind of make me want to polish the razor to a mirror so it's not as noticeable.
