Seasonal smeezenal, I’m a man and do what I want. The Almighty Hallows in May? Yeah I can do that.

Continuing quest to uglify my Vector, I tried the baby Blackbird handle on here, worked great. 7 on the Kai Mild, might have to switch tomorrow. I MIGHT get one more out of it but I dunno, we’ll see.

Black Ship Grooming Captains Pipe After Shave

This was the first time using this soap and aftershave. It is a good soap and aftershave. The soap has a good amount of slickness with a little thicker lather than what is normally required for shaving with a straight. The AS also performs well. The scent is very strong. It's now been almost 2 hours and it's just as strong as when I first applied it. The scent is cherry pipe tobacco. It has a very strong tobacco scent with a light cherry sweetness. If you are looking for a good strong tobacco scent this is a great choice.

I had a very nice shave with the Royal Razor. I am finally getting consistent smooth comfortable shaves now that I finally figured out how to use zero pressure by trying to use a negative pressure. Basically what I started doing is pulling away from the skin until it is barely touching.
