Second shave with the Streamline. Two pass with no touch ups. No shims this time.

This was a very pleasant shave. The shave was not as close on my neck as the previous shave (with a half-spine shim) but it could have been more to do more with my angle than with the shim. Time will tell. I didn't find the razor overly aggressive without a shim. I think it would make a good daily driver for me.

Did a video with the new camera this morning and an external Mic that ended up giving near zero volume. Uploading to see if fixable but feeling it's gonna be DOA. This is why I hate technology. May do next video without the external mic and the volume will be what it will be. SMH......Everyone have a great day !

Well the "New Camera Blues" continues....Did a video review of the Watermelon Mint (WM) and talked LOUD for the whole video to help the volume boost only to find the camera wasn't activated on when I clicked the button So Dave gets to type up what he can. I will do a video and use my Tablet again by Sat to ensure it working but give the highlights of this New release that is open for preorder next week. When I 1st opened the tub of soap and sniffed it I was like "Oh, that's nice and refreshing" and then thought....this reminds me of something. Took a few more whiffs and thought, I know and grabbed a tub of Greenfresh to smell. Yep, it has the mint similar to the Greenfresh. I then sniffed it a little more and could distinguish the 2 scents of the Mint and the Watermelon. The Mint comes to the fore but the Watermelon is there lurking to pop up and let you know it's there and not to forget it. That's what I'd expect as WM is not a strong scent for me to begin with. I will add though that when I took a sniff of the Splash I was like OH MY !! The Watermelon told Mint who was Boss and comes thru more clearly for sure, YES PLEASE. That was NICE and Well done Frank !! As I type this and sip my coffee I'm still getting the scent of the Watermelon and Mint with a slight cooling that lingers. Not too strong but refreshing. This I would use year round even if many would consider it a Summer scent. The artwork keeps getting better too Frank and I couldn't be happier to have this set and use it with all the other Ethos lineup in my den. Everyone have a great day !
