Post: Oleo Soapworks~ Seibo Aftershave and Balm
Today was the first time shaving with an AutoStrop razor. It took me a bit halfway through the shave to find the correct angle, but once I did, the AutoStrop went to work! Overall I really enjoyed using this razor made a century ago.
Seibo is a completely unique scent from any other set I used so far. Simply put, it smells of delicious and rich chocolate. The duck fat base of the Oleo soap provided a great barrier to any irritation and a smooth shave. Finishing it off with the matching aftershave and post shave balm left my skin feeling sensational. Thank you rlroadie2004 for sending me this great set!

Another Maiden voyage today, this time with the MMOC. For personal reasons, I was worried about my fingers cramping up (as they have with my CP). But things went well, and I am super impressed with the MMOC.
Now if you will excuse me, it is time to go watch some American football, and perhaps buy a truck or 100 cases of beer.
