More stubble ATG on my neck than face. A couple red spots that didn't bleed. Today's lather not as wet as the last few shaves. It still did a wonderful job providing slickness for my razor. I originally wanted to participate in MdC Monday, but, I am enjoying C&S O&C so much. I have never 3017ed a soap before, but, could see doing it now. That said a break now and then is more my style. I did use Proraso the shave before last. The Spoiler is still knocking down whiskers like nobody's business. Such a great blade. I started the new bottle of Thayer's Witch Hazel today after so long. Alum and splash felt fine barely any feedback. All in all a great shave.

What a slick, comfortable shave I just had. ARKO! was the perfect vehicle for letting the cap of my Fatip Grande slide all over my skin while the Sharp Titanium smashed through stubble. Aces!
