A two-pass DFS cheeks/CCS neck tonight, some irritation/razor bumps on my neck for which I suspect the blade. Great scent to the soap and the Brandy Spice was a nice complement. Will skip Wednesday to give my neck a break.
Other than that I have nothing much to report. I'm liking the same great tools and software (barring the fun and ever changing ASLs) and getting to really love my Timeless Slim.

Deadlines, Bush Fires and Lockdown contributed to my entering the batrhroom contemplating a nine day growth. Thus, I selected an aggressive razor and a very sharp blade; the Blackbird and Vintage Gillette Super Silver respectively. Using a very light touch, this combination proved simply marvelous.
We've also been suffering through a heatwave here in Perth, so I was yearning for a metholated shave. I amped up the OSP soap with some Stirling frost Drops, and was rewarded with both excellent and very cooling lather.
Didn't push it too far given the growth, so three passes for a DFS+.

Excellent quality soap! Very nice scent with thickly creamy and slick lather. The brush is just awesomely soft and wonderful.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was super smooth and comfortable especially during the atg. 3passes for a mostly bbs to dfs result without any issues. Excellent aftershave too. Rating today 10/10! Marvelous shave session!
