Busy day today so far!

I'm still not super impressed by this duck tallow base. It gave a good shave and lathered easily, but doesn't seem to have significantly better performance than the vegan TSF base(s).

Nice second luxury shave with a sample of the new TSF duck fat base. It was a good lather, but didn't blow me away. It definitely seems better than their mango butter base.

More research necessary.

There was no other option!

Every shave there is something learn or to pay extra attention to.

That’s part of the fun!

Seems like a brilliant combo to me!

So far, Stag is the only scent my wife has outright vetoed. A bit of a bummer, but sacrifices must be made.

Sample kill!

I definitely would like to pick up a tub of the BaM/SW release if they still have extras to sell. Samhain is just a killer scent for this time of year.

nobody reads this I guess.

Hey, there are at least 5 of us! ;)

Damn, I didn't realize they were so expensive!

Definitely not worth it to me. Like I said in an earlier shave, there's enough overlap with the Flying Wing/Clog-Pruf in my mind.

I'm really starting to get along with this razor. Still not sure I like it enough over my other GEMs to seek one out for myself, but I've definitely learned how to get a great shave out of it.

Have a great day!
