MdC Fougere today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette “Spoiler” SS still in the Maggard V2 OC. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Country Club Frozen Vetiver aftershave.

First use of the Valobra stick, arrived in today. Didn't get much of the scent, which some guys say it's the same of the Fougère Valobra, but atenuated. I could smell a faint fougère scent, that's true, but it basically smelled to soap to me. It's not the first time that the scent of a soap is more perceivable after the first uses, as if the first layer of it needed to be removed for it to deliver its scent, so I'll see how it performs in following shaves. Not something that concerns me because the purpose of this, otherwise excellent, soap is to be a travel soap.

Two passes and touch-ups. Excellent shave.

I just finished taking an SOTD pic and I accidentally took one as stood up. I thought it came out pretty good.[Image: 4d3170159cbb198b9a59d04ed5f3a9f7.jpg]
