A fine shave, the Jabonman is from a more recent batch and performs totally different to the Rosas I've been trying to use earlier in the week. The Rosas and Violetas were two that were from faulty batches.
Last 4-5 shaves have included the goofy Xpec product. I seem to have developed a slight jones for this what is probably an opiate based shaving cream. Sheeesh.
Opiate-based shaving cream! Haha, that made me laugh, you old rascal.....:icon_lol:
Reckon I could do with some opiate based medication right now, for all the risks but naturally, will refrain.
Although growing a beard, I have delicately 'carved' a neck-line to keep it in bounds and looking less scruffy.

Boot's Freshwood AS
Gairdner's Beard and Post Shave Oil
The teeniest wee blob of Ingrams and quick swish of the Bodger was all that was required before a bit of concentration and two neat passes. God, I've missed the comforting scent of the mighty 'I'. Beard & Post Shave Oil is in testing but proving grand so far - top secret of course!

Much more impressed with the Lab Blue in the R41. Pretty much BBS in one pass. I would describe the blade as mildly sharp. Sometimes the R41 lets you know you've had a shave but I could barely feel this blade. Second pass was pretty much just a touch up.
