Declaration Grooming Sni Mato - It smells JUST like my parents' liquor cabinet from when I was a kid. It's a basement + Creme de Cacao + Sprite smell = awesome. The performance is typical Declaration Grooming. It didn't burn me. I didn't want the shave to ever end.

I love the original Razorock Mamba. They sure got it right. It's mild, but it's so smooth. The Mamba 70 seems to shave the same for me, BUT it doesn't have the same effortless "nothing happening" feeling.

The Minora blades are sweeeet. IMO, these are the closest thing to the old Gillette Swede Platinum blades.

This Shannon's Lit aftershave is interesting. Much smokier than the soap. Less Orange Flower water. Nice menthol kick.

Keeping with the Gillette Adjustable theme, I reached for my 69 Super 84 this morning and dropped a Voskhod blade into it. I have several Slims, Aristocrats and Fatboys but this Super 84 is a better shaver than all of them. Two passes on 6 and the last on 5 left me with zero irritation and a BBS shave. Haven’t used the Proraso Green in a while so I grabbed the pre-shave cream and the shaving cream and finished off with the matching AS for today. Excellent shave all around.
