Thanks John, wish it was big enough sample to send some to you too. It really is a nice scent.

Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Wizamet (?)
Brush: Graydog Quilt Twin
Soap: Sir Henry's Casino Royale
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Nivea Deep
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Lothair
So as a preface to the shave today. Yesterday's mishap with the razor head coming loose left me with more rawness than I realized. At mid day I was feeling it and decided to try the Sir Henry's Balm sample sent in the El Jefe scent. The scent wasn't a winner for me and I'm not a balm guy at all. That said I like one on the rare occasion when I need it like yesterday. When 1st applied I felt like there was no way this was going to absorb and dry down the way I like but was VERY pleasantly surprised at the absorption and relief I felt from it. Out of the scents I got: Black Orange Affair full tub and samples of El Jefe, Casino Royale, Black and Tan and Quartet. My favorites were the Quartet but 3rd pass had a little tingling like a reaction and I don't want to chance it, Black and Tan and Casino Royale. I can see adding the latter 2 down the road. Thanks again dominicr at Sir Henry's. If you haven't tried his products yet or have been on the fence, I recommend you give them a try.
Shave today was only a 2 pass and touch up as I wanted a shave but wanted the face to heal some too. The lather and shave were just amazing. No irritation I but wasn't going to push a 3rd pass so as much as I wanted to keep going, I wrapped it up with the Nivea and Penhaligon's Lothair. Ready for a long work day and have a couple packages coming in today. A back up Bigelow Parking Travel razor and the return of my Baby, the Yates razor setups. Can't wait for a nice 3 pass tomorrow. Have a great day DFS !!

Sorry to hear about yesterday's shave, Dave. If you want something to remedy any future razor burn or skin irritation of any kind, I would highly suggest unrefined shea butter. It will alleviate any skin irritation and heal your skin extremely well. Been using it for the past 15 years or so and it does wonders.
