La Toja Manantiales After Shave Balsamo

I couldn't post anything yesterday due to a site visit for my job. I did shave yesterday evening but not this morning. So I'll post my SOTD pic today from yesterday's shave. This is was certainly one of the best shaves i ever had with no weepers. It was BBS without a doubt in my mind. I also do believe The La Toja Manantiales ASB is great pair especially with MdC. Try it out if you happen to have those items. Well Gents, I hope you all have a great day!

Still relearning my chin after several years with a goatee.
I actually like the pungent Arko smell. I love the lather... The wife lo-oves the Clubman... :yesnod:

Misery only happens when you embrace it...

Razorock Classic
Rooney Boar
Fatboy w/ Personna Med Prep (3)
Clubman Classic Vanilla

I havent really given Razorock Classic a second look until the last few shaves and I am finding out that I really enjoy the scent of this soap. The performance is obviously awesome but the scent is really growing on me.
Near BBS shave but it's very difficult to get BBS on my neck since I have razor bumps from when I used carts a long time ago. I might see a dermatologist at some point.
Still a great shave and this week I'm running through my Clubman horde (Musk, Vanilla, Regular, Veg, and Special Reserve)
Have a great day Gents!

Now half as wise
Life has taken up too much time this week, so this is the first chance I've had to post a SOTD. Can't pick a single favorite scent, but today was one of the favorites.

Floid Sandolor
Trumpers Lime soap
Salter's Lime cream
Century restored silvertip
7/8 Erb Solingen "Wednesday"
TOBS Lime ASL
Lime Skin Food
Harris Classic EdC

The predominant note of the Classic is Lime to me, so it fits right in. The best part about this shave though, was this razor is the first I've successfully honed to be shave ready. Truly an outstanding shave!
