*I've shared my skepticism elsewhere on B&B of pre-shaves--largely born of experience. But,
the other day, someone recommended jojoba oil,
and since had some sitting around, I gave it a try. As I could discern no difference in my shave,
I still remain skeptical, though I may just try The Cube,
as well as Grooming Products' pre-shave.
Who knows, right?

Comments: Great shave today compared to using that Parker 98R yesterday and the day before. First time using Chiseled Face product, Tradewind is their nautical scented soap, it's a croap. Very nice product, good slickness, nice scent like an excellent talcum powder almost... it got some kind of sweet spice in it which I found very enjoyable.

A really nice two-pass shave tonight, no touch-ups and DFS with a small area of CCS on my neck and still SAS under my nose. Minimal feedback from the alum.

New cigar soap! An interesting type of cigar scent. Not the same as the Cohiba stogy ...Strength just below medium. Need to use more...lather quality is good though, richly thick, creamy, and reasonably slick.
Shave with razor paired with the blade (last used Nov 2020) was terrific! Super smooth, comfortable, and efficient for 3passes without any issues and a mostly bbs to dfs result. Awesome Whisky Woods aftershave! Rating 10/10!
