Prep: Neutrogena Razor Defense face scrub
Soap: MdC Original
Brush: Simpsons 57 Best Badger
Razor: Schick Type L1, shave #3
Blade: Schick (China), #3
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> Stirling Bergamot Lavender splash

Decided to do a N-S path first and then my usual pattern on the second pass and was rewarded with a DFS+ and close to BBS in some areas. The brush, soap, and splash all made for a fantastic shave along with the L1. I'm quite taken with how easy it is to shave with the Schick--it's super-maneuverable and super-comfortable, too.

Razor Game Changer.84-P SB-D
Blade JAWS Platinum 2nd (KAI 3rd)
Post & Aftershaves
Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic
Clubman Whiskey Wood
Superb lather from the soap! Superbly thick, creamy, and slick...
Initially shave with razor paired with a 3rd used KAI blade but can feel somehow it was rough and uncomfortable so change to the JAWS mid-wtg pass. Immediately rewarded with smooth and comfortable 3passes without issues for a bbs to dfs result. Really nice blade this JAWS but perplexing with the KAI. Excellent Whisky Woods...awesome long-lasting scent. Rating 9.5/10

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

This morning I went for MWF, which for some people the slickness & performance of this soap is overrated each to their own. My personal opinion is i find it a wonderful soap, it does however take longer to get a acceptable lather due to it been a hard soap the post shave as always was first class because of the lanolin within the soap which my mature skin adores.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report. Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel...My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.😎

Cream: Jack Black Supreme Cream
Razor:Merkur Mergress
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Spoiler (3)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Floid Mentally Vigorous
Scent: Parfums de Marly Gallaway EdP

I always thought of Jack Black as a cosmetics specialist. I am a long-time fan of their Pit Boss deodorant, but never gave much thought to their shaving cream.
I received a couple of samples of the cream in orders, and was impressed, so pulled the trigger. And I must say - this cream is a serious contender! You don't need to use much, and it has a delightful delicate fresh rose scent.
Performance is excellent - very slick and comfortable, allowing close blade contact for improved efficiency. Also good residual slickness for touch-ups. Three passes for an effortless BBS result.
