Love this awesome soap & matching splash scent. The lather was top creamy & slick too!
Love shaving with this razor too. Converted the razor's already good diamond balsa edge to the HBA and it felt more comfortable on the skin...

5 out 5 tonight, wanted a quick fall scented shave and the Sensor along with the MacDuffs delivered.

Nice to see the Gillette sensor razor. I used to shave with this razor when I was much younger. And I have pleasant memories.

Comments	This is a sad day for me. Last year on this day my beautiful wife passed away. So, today I am using one of the brushes that she liked, the Yaqi 28mm syn, and the Jimmy Choo Man Intense fragrance which she gave me as a present. This is my 6th shave in a row with the Henson Ti** and a Kai blade. The shave was good. The MdC soap is on its 260th use.

Shave Date 10/21/23
Razor: Rex Envoy
Blade: Treet 7 day (5)
Pre-Shave: PAA Cube 2.0.
Soap: Noble Otter Rawr
Brush: Omega Boar
Post-shave: Alum Block, Thayers, PAA Mysterium Serum, Noble Otter Rawr
Bowl: Douglas Smith Pottery Suribachi Shaving Bowl
Rating: 9.25/10 DFS++ Cheeks and DFS+ on the neck. 0 weeper.

Notes here.

Another improved shave today, I had a rough start to the week with two shaves that left my face very irritated. I adjusted my passes to limit my ATG passes to just two on the face and jawline, doing only XTG passes on the neck. Results are much reduced irritation and just about the same level of closeness. Just shy of BBS on the face and the neck area is just about the same level of closeness minus the irritation I get from going ATG on the neck.

The scent of Rawr is a light one and refreshing, reminiscent of my Creed Aventus Dups I have. Although Noble Otter makes no reference to Aventus in its description. I very nice scent for days when I want to go in the polar opposite direction of B&M The Hallows or Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash.

College football is on the agenda today. I wish everyone a truly blessed weekend, may all your shaves be BBS, nick, and weeper free.
