Post: TDS Rose Note, Real Shaving Co balm

I can confidently say that the donkey milk brings bugger all to this soap save for the opportunity to stick a nice picture on the label! The lather - while decent did not have the slickness of a Stirling or Signature, although maybe that's more down to me overloading with water after using the thirsty TDS soaps recently :unsure: The scent comes through more strongly when lathered but is still subtle. Eschewing the description of the multiple layers of scent described in the blurb, I will simply say that to me it's a slightly less sweet version of this: ANGLO_BUBBLY__07433.jpg
To be fair, the colour's the same as well! The TDS elevated the sweetness and the RSC balm is currently my go-to over Nivea or Bulldog.
Now to start looking for a cherry lips scented soap, but you can keep your Dentyne flavour as far away from me as possible. Cinnamon is officially the devil's food:sick::p

Post: proraso red ASL

Another brilliant shave granted by blackbird - BBS face and dfs++ on neck in 3 passes. This razor definitely doesn’t fail to perform.

I was going to make today’s shave yet another tabac Thursday, however in corner of shaving den I spotted mudder focker just laying there , which I have acquired a while ago but didn’t use. The only reason why I decided to get it a while back is due to it including the mud. As a diabetic with skin tendencies, I find products that include mud or clay to leave me with much better feel than ones without. This one definitely didn’t fail to perform - nice scent, found it to be quite thirsty, and 25 seconds of load provided enough lather for 4-5 passes. Razor glided effortlessly and blade performed well - feels like it’s a good match for blackbird.

Shave finished off with a splash of proraso red ASL.

Enjoy your day Gentlemen!
