QCS ICED KEY LIME | MILORD | SILVER BLUE | BLUEBEARDS

$sotdmay30.jpg

Such a wonderful shave, from such wonderful Products. I love the scent and performance of the Iced Key Lime. And the Milord with a Silver Blue is a great combo for my face.

LEA | SLIM | PERSONNA | SEMOGUE

$sotdmay31.jpg

I am not a huge fan of the Slim. I much prefer the Black Beauty or Fatboy. however I was surprised by how nice the LEA shave stick was! I have not heard much about it so I wasnt expecting a great performance, but I was pleasantly surprised. The scent smelled a bit like citrusy laundry detergent....nice and clean. It performed well but it seemed sensitive to hydration. I added a bit too much water for the third pass and it got very runny. Overall I was very happy with it.

STIRLING | BLACK BEAUTY | FEATHER | THE HOLY BLACK

$sotdjune1.jpg

Hmm, what can I say about this shave?? It was all great except fot the feather blade. Its been about a month since I used one and figured I would give it another chance since I feel my technique is much better now. My face is BBS and my neck is DFS but the irritation I get on my neck from these blades is still there. I am giving up on the Feathers because there are far to many blades that are just as good if not better.
