And how did you find the Clown Fruit experience, Chris? Like that selective color.

Thank you for the kind words, Ron, I hope you are feeling better. The clown fruit is a wonderful addition to my soaps, I love the smell and I found the lather to be very thick and protective.

Great shave tonight. Ruined one patch on my neck a couple of days ago trying out my Rocket HD and had to miss a shave to let it heal.

Soho Joe Original Face Wash
Omega Pro49 Red
Tabac!!!
Gillette English Rocket TV Special
Polsilver SI
A little alum, and
Proraso After shave balm

First try of Tabac. Excellent to face lather with the omega. Slick as anything. Does remind me of my grandad. Could use it every day I think.

Thank you, Ron! Don't let the scent sway you...performance is top notch and I am letting it sit with the top off for a few days to see if I can get the scent to be as it should. You catch what Mohammad was going for every now and again and it's an amazing scent. That razor stand is awesome, it can accommodate the thicker handles along with the thinner ones since there is an extra piece you can put into it to make it smaller. I recommend it, Brian's work is top notch. I am waiting for the Level 2 Dual Comb baseplate to come out.

The scent certainly is interesting out of the jar, Josh. I'll give it a try and maybe leave the lid off for a while. I too am awaiting a dual comb baseplate to become available. I'm torn between the level 2 and 3. I have a closed comb level two and an open comb level three, both with five shaves on them. The level 3 does have a bite to it so I may change the plate back to the level 2 for a while. Of course I could always just buy another handle, which I'll probably end up doing.
