2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I did not care for the scent of this soap when I first tried it. I had an "aha" moment with it after trying the EdT, though, and now I fully enjoy the experience. I'm not sure if this product was short-lived or not or whether it will be released again next Valentine's Day. I think Will put himself out there with the concept of it - drawing on Marilyn but tuning the fragrance for a male audience. Not sure if he intended this but if you wore Chanel Pour Monsieur, smoked cigarettes, and spent the night with Marilyn back in 1960, you might get whiffs of this fragrance the next day.

Hotel shave. We were planning on leaving Belgium tomorrow, but when you're flying standby sometimes you have to get creative. We're flying to London today and will spend the night at an airport hotel to fly home tomorrow.

Gee thanks! :)
I thought I wanted to sell it, but as I’ve used it more I think it’s earned a spot.

- Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid knot
- Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
- Blade: Tatra
- Lather: Declaration Grooming - Hindsight
- Post-Shave: OAM - oli del benessere sensitive skin toner; Alterra Men sensitive ASB
- Passes & Info: 1 pass + touchups on the dome. Sloppy wet lather, still okay shave.
Today was just a good day for the smoky Hindsight to be used. I had the lather a little bit too wet for my liking, but it was still fine to shave with.
The Tatra blades seem to be not for me, though. The sharpness deteriorated quickly even in such a mild razor like the Cyber. Even the alcohol-free aftershave toner gave me an initial sting before calming down. This usually happens when either the razor I used was too aggressive (can't be the case today) or the blade is too mild/dull for me (most likely applicable here). These simply don't cut it, literally. Having to do a bunch of touch-ups isn't what I like doing either, so I guess I'll stay with my BIC Chrome Platinum.
We had a long team meeting at work yesterday and it was quite a heated discussion. Still, I think it's important that everyone got something off their chest and we can all improve a bit now. Still have one early shift left tomorrow, then it's finally a free weekend ahead!

Yeah Tatra blade kinda suck. I had a ton of irritation using them once.
-
I think they perform way better than the other Czech blades, Tiger - who are abysmally dull right out of the box - but yeah, they still kinda suck.
