Great razor but the handle sucks so I used the handle from a Chiseled Face Legacy.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I think that the blend of rose, passion fruit and musk in this scent is very well done. This comes across as a single fragrance. Kind of refreshing and a great way to start the day.

The Spearhead soap base is great, even though I'm not a huge fan of the scent of Spiced. I like Pitralon more and more.
Have a good Sunday!

This sample of LOV really opened up into a great citrus and vetiver scent. I may have to look at getting a full tub...
Rating: 4.5/5
Yesterday's tight match-up was the most exhilarating one so far. I'm impressed how we Highlanders almost held our own against the mighty Mammoth Mafia. I'm looking forward the final four round. Both match-ups are David vs Goliath situations and I'm curious to see what happens.
For today, I chose to shave with the 800-pound gorilla of tomorrow's match. Great shave, great scents.
