Thursday’s Shave
Today I used Gillette Red Tip razor with a Lord SS blade for the third shave. The brush is a Shavemac 177 and the soap is Klar Seifen Rasiwerseife. Today’s aftershave was Thayers Rose Petal WH followed by Clubman. The fragrance was Yves Saint Laurent. A perfect 10 shave.

Are you just taking the two soaps and smashing them together? If so, that could be a pretty interesting scent. I could definitely see how that would be good.

Another +9.0 shave. I wouldn't have thought that with this blade and razor combo but here I am enjoying the heck out of it.
I enjoy the Lime. I am not sure this EDT is for me. I have tried a couple times and I almost smell like a mechanical grease scent? Like I smell in a machine shop? Weird I know but that's what I get sitting at my desk this morning.
The blade does show its first sign of filling as I found after my 3rd pass and there was a large amount of stubble left compared to normal. A careful cleanup made the face nice and smooth. Couldn't be happier.

Isn't it strange how you can smell something in the bottle and think...oh...that's nice! And then put it on and think...well...not so much. I've had several experiences like that.
I took 2) 1 oz. samples, cut them both in half, laid side-by-side, then stacked.
result = 2 oz. MITA / Lime.
9.5/10 - BBS!

Aug. 6, 2020 - Sharp and Sweet
My second use of the red tip razor - I find it quite similar to the US-Aristocrat Jr. The shave is very smooth and quite mild with the 7 o'clock blade. I think I'm going to stick with this razor for a week or so to find the sweet spot for a good shave. It does not have the bite and blade feel that the UK-AJ has.
LPP is awesome. I installed the atomizer today and gave myself a couple sprays but was actually disappointed because I couldn't smell that much at all. That's when I realized my nose was quite stuffed up - I couldn't really taste my breakfast this morning too. Ah well - still a good scent and I hope my nose clears up through the day so I can enjoy the scent more.
