    u/LaTuskFamilia 2 pass shave, first go with the GEM. Not bad. Def need to work on my technique with the single edge and angle of the razor. My wife loves Fu Dao so that’s a plus too.

    2 pass shave, not bad. Happy with the shave. Still love the scent. I will say I’m noticing subtle differences in the fragrance from the splash to the balm. Right now I’m preferring the splash, it has more of a citrusy kick plus the menthol slap. Looking forward to Day 3!

    Definitely have never used the same soap 11 days in a row. This Tusk base is really just beyond top tier in my opinion. Super slick, takes a ton of water. Absolutely love it. Great 3 pass shave today before work. Have a great day everyone!

    Another confession. The HoM aftershave splash is hands down the best of any alcohol based splash I’ve ever used. Amplifies the scent strength perfectly. Leaves my skin feeling great. And the menthol kick is such a perfect little finish. End of day shave as I had zero time today with the kids to mow down the face. Feeling great now before bedtime. Have a good night everyone!

    Scent blindness starting to creep in. Which I’m okay with, as I know why. Only a one pass shave with a cleanup today, didn’t want to go in to work with cuts on my face. Over the halfway hump!

    Nighttime shave tonight, which I didn’t mind at all, nice way to wind down after a busy day. I will say though, I don’t foresee anymore 3 pass shaves for me with this GEM blade for the rest of the month. My 3 pass attempt tonight led to some very uncomfortable tugging. The aftershave slap hit like a motherf***er telling me the blade is definitely dulling. Finished off with some balm and now I’m right as rain though. Have a good night everyone!
