Today's shave ended up with great results but was extremely uncomfortable. More details in a moment. Today I went with my go to brand Soap Commander and their classic Fortitude scent which is a very rich & deep. The scent is an aged hay & tobacco with rum scent. My late grandfather on my mom's side who would be 100 years old today if he was still living use to raise tobacco & cattle and I can tell you that they nailed the scent. It's like you just walked into an old barn that's been aging both hay & tobacco with a tiny bit of a aged dark rum scent added to it. And to finish off this shave I went with a healthy dose of Old Spice aftershave splash to give it some spice to the scent & then I went with a nice healthy dose of Soap Commander's Purpose scented aftershave balm which has a really rich bay rum scent and adds a touch of menthol to the post shave feel:
Here's some lather porn for you guys. I've just about got the shave scuttle dialed in. It won't be long before I will be back to where I was before my sensitive skin started acting up on me:
The Perma-Sharp blade I had in there was decent but you can definitely tell that I had too many shaves on that blade. So I grabbed a new Gillette Rubie blade and that's where things went down hill with my DE 89 rather quickly. I went from bad to worse:
Normally I would try a new blade in another razor before making a decision but in this case, I will not be. I will be doing another detailed blog post about my experience with these blades.
