A pleasant 3 pass shave this evening. The menthol was exactly what was needed and was exactly what was delivered.

The Focus razor needs that extra bit of concentration due to the slightly different angle and application of pressure, but you hit it's sweet spot it delivers a fantastically smooth finish.

A DFS this evening and feeling fresh!

Not long until the weekend! Have a great night folks.

I've had this unused Super Smooth soap for a couple of years, and decided tmwtpd it for the first time today. It began to lather instantly within three or four swirls.
A very good soap-dare I say better than the 1912 formula ?

@Paul L - I have a similar Super Smooth soap in Imperial Tonic; still going strong, and I agree that it is a very good soap base.
 
  • Razorock Game Changer 0.84p
  • Lord Classic (3)
  • Prep
  • NOM Black Fibre
  • Bath house - Cuban Ceder & Lime
  • LA RIVE - Scotish Man After Shave

Great shave, BBS and all that jazz, all fantastic except for the smell, the Bath House smells fantastic, if you go very close up, you get a slightly better nose full when lathering, but the smell-o-meter could be turned up a notch or ten.. The same story with the La Rive, nice smell, but is gone and forgotten before you know it, no staying power what so ever.
The Bath House is a great soap, let there be no misunderstanding about that, it foams like a King, and shaves like a dream, but it is way to introvert for me.
