Badda bing, badda boom, zip-zap-shabam, bippity-boppity boo, rooty tooty kazootie and Bob's yer uncle.

Slap on some Nivea balm, brush out my eyebrows and ready for another grueling day working from home. An effortless DFS and for some reason a slightly faster shave this morning.

O.H.
 
Blackland Sabre L1 / some type of GEM (9) / RazoRock Black Bay

Shaves fine on #9.
RR Black Bay smells different, muted, not spicy, more "earthy". Supposed to be a different take on Bay Rum with neither cinnamon nor cloves. Definitely smells "earthy" to me. Lathers up really nicely.
