Maggard Fougere Sauvage. Great performing soap, but the scent is too subdued for me. It won’t replace the Bergamot & Limes. The Red Tip and Platinum are chugging along just fine. Great smooth, close, nick free shave. I finished with Fine Platinum.

My first run with Spanish Floid today. I LOVE IT! Great scent and really cold (not Osage Rub, but more than Aqua Velva). The scent is nice too!
