Another update. I've been trying a couple new soaps, and tried a new blade.
Razor is still an R41. I'm really glad that I found something that works so well for me. Cured me of my RAD for sure.
Blade I tried is an Asco. It is a tolerable 1 shave blade. Second shave it was too dull.
Soaps/creams -
Mike's Hungarian Lavender - Man do I love the smell of this soap. Fantastic. But I can't get it to lather very well, and the slickness/cushion is less than stellar. The scent is good enough to make me keep trying it though.
AOS Lavender cream - Awesome scent and performance. No complaints, other than wish I would have found it sooner.
HTGAM Irish Cream - Fantastic performance, mediocre scent.
HTGAM Cherry Sandalwood Vanilla - Great performance, mediocre scent.
I will be looking for more HTGAM soaps. I think their performance is top notch. Honestly, the best soap I've tried. I also intend to get some more AOS creams, as I thoroughly enjoyed using the lavender cream.
I tried an aftershave, simply because I'm very interested in them now due to reading on here. HTGAM Autumn Factory. Whoa...talk about strong. If this is how "in your face" all aftershaves are, I think I'll stick to my Nivea sensitive balm, which I find to be more than heavily scented enough.
Since I updated about my eyes last time, I figured I'd let everyone know about my current progress. Where I had metal in the eyes, it is still very sensitive, and I have a minimal amount of pain while my cornea is healing. Dry eyes have been a bad problem over night, which is miserable, because when I snap awake for whatever reason, it feels like my cornea is stuck to my eyelids and torn off when I open my eyes. Pretty awful pain for a couple hours. Otherwise, my vision improvement is pretty awesome in my dominant eye, but less so in my other eye. I go back for a re-evaluation mid December and hopefully find out whether or not they are going to have to operate again on the bad eye.
