I was in a smoky pineapple mood today. Great shave.

Cella performing great, as usual. This "bottom of the range" soap embarrasses many other more pricey and flashy soaps. That's life. Polsilver blade in its fourth use delivered a very good and incident free shave, though I could tell its performance was clearly depleted throughout my three pass shave, which ended up in a flawless BBS result, nonetheless. Conclusion is, there is no point (for me) to use any blade beyond the third shave, except for the Feathers, that I can use up to the fifth one. For what they cost, it just isn't worth it.

First use of my brand new Nuxe balm. The balm is very good. Very hidrating and soothing, leaving no oily layer on the skin, which is good.

- Merkur 37C+Polsilver #4
- Cella
- Whipped Dog+VigShaving 2 Band
- Tüff+Aloe gel+Nuxe Men balm

Prep: Lots of hot water to the face and a smearing of Prep preshave
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Super-Max Titanium (4)
Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Purple Swirl
Lather: RazoRock Mudder Focker
Post: Lucky Tiger then CFG Cinnawood Boroka

A coworker of mine let me borrow his brand new, unused tub of Mudder Focker. The scent strength in the tub is quite weak, to my nose. But once it's lathered up the scent really pops and grows. Such a great scent. It reminds me of CFG's Cinnawood Boroka. Not exactly, of course, but they're in the same neighborhood. While my lather looked wonderful, I never got the slickness I was expecting. It wasn't bad, but it certainly isn't up to the standards I am accustomed to. With that said, it was very kind of my coworker to lend the soap to me, as I have been eyeing it for some time.

In other news, I bought seven Fuzzy Face Soaps shaving soaps this evening. I just could not pass up on the 50% off coupon and he has a number of scents that appeal greatly to me. I'll let you all know how they are in about two weeks when they arrive in Korea.

Excellent shave. The Bronze Shadow whipped up Lavanille into yogurty goodness in no time. I bloomed the puck and loaded with a dry brush.  I continued my pattern of three face and two neck passes with the Futur on six.  Lavanille aftershave wrapped it up right.

Lavanille is an unbelievably awesome scent. Definitely my favorite scent in the den.

I'm so sad I never got to try KnockOut Shave Silver. I always wanted to, and when I was ready to buy he began closing up shop and it was sold out.

Good setup Clint. I like your brush and that soap.
