Tobacco Thursday
Superb shave today. The 6s easily destroyed two days of growth in comfort. The jelly is a really good aftershave that leaves my face feeling smooth and protected, but not greasy. I was able to obtain a C2 pomade recently, and this stuff is legit. It goes on easily and does not make my hair crunchy. I like the scent, too.

Rating: 5 / 5

Soap Commander   |   Influence

Soap Commander makes a great vegan soap, and I find Influence to be a comforting scent. The heavy RazoRock 400 brush handle with a BOSS knot is a joy to use. As always, the open comb Blackbird is the epitome of efficiency.
