A few more new products today:

Akatombow | Vulfix Sicilian Limes | Simpson Rover in Manchu | Auslesse ASB | CdG Series 4 Vettiveru

Another great shave. What a way to start myself back to work after more than two weeks away from the office! The Rover continues to impress. It whipped up mounds of lather from the Vulfix cream in record time. The SC smelled heavenly and performed decently. It's not going to break into my top rotation, but the scent alone may keep it going through the summertime for an occasional fix. I refreshed the Akatombow, and it was dialed in nicely; very smooth. The ASB is another new product that I picked up in Japan. It's got a mild scent and feels great with the menthol and excellent moisturizing properties. I'm off to the grind. Have a great day, gentlemen!

Once I saw this theme last night, this SC was screaming to be used. I used it today and was happy that I did. Last week for some reason there was just a slight burn with every shave and it seemed that I had brand new dulled blades. But that wasn't the case for today. Also wanted to mention that this new lather bowl in my pic is quite fantastic and is my no. 1 now. If only I found this earlier, I wouldn't have to sneak bowls away around the house while living with your rents lol. But this unused bowl is perfect in every way that sitting on top of the refrigerator in the basement collecting dust. I look forward to using it a lot more :)! Well Friends you all have a joyful day!

First time using my new Fatip Piccolo and very happy that this razor has lived up to the hype and descriptions...Much tamer than my R41 but a bit more aggressive/efficient than my Gillette NEW short comb. The blade exposure looks scary and kind of how it looks on the R41 but you don't "feel" the blade as much nor do you have shave with such a shallow angle. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy shaving with my R41 but the Fatip is much more comfortable and provides an equally as good of a shave IMO...of course YMMV.

Have a great day gents!...4 more days till vacation
