I often forget how good the CB Prem base is until I use it again. It's crazy how slick this soap is.
Here we go. LatherBot moves to slaughter. Airbud day!
On the recommendation of @gcgallant, I acquired Midnight Stag parfum. I totally agree with him. There's so much more to the Stag. My local scent judge even complemented me on it, "I like it, but I like the other one better."
"Which other one?"

I don't really keep track of blade uses, especially the GEM ones cause they're good for a while. I just change them when it's time, and it's time! Noticed today it's feeling a bit dull. New blade nex time. This one has been in well over a month, and I use my GEM razors for about 2/3 of my shaves, so it probably has around 30 uses.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was my third shave with the Horizon and a test of the aggressive end of the adjustment range. Like settings 3 and 5, I found setting 7 to be quite comfortable, It was easy to adjust to the blade exposure of 0.15mm. The resulting shave was close and very comfortable.

Great shave! I've been sitting on this last tiny bit of Torchwood for years, and finally figured it was time to use it. What a wonderful scent.
I'm auditioning knots to put in my Rad Dinosaur Creations custom handle, and I've ordered 3 different synthetics from AP Shave Co. I just used the knot without a handle and loved it. I don't even think I'll bother trying the other two (for this handle).
Everything clicked with this shave. So good. The Futur is something else, but turned down to the lower settings I do like it quite a bit.
