2nd shave of the day, and the first time using straight razors twice in one day. I have some early mornings coming up for work, so might stick to the night shaving schedule.

Great 3 pass shave. I didn't do any additional pickup/cleanup strokes on the fat parts of my neck because it didn't feel like it needed any more work. A couple hours after the shave my opinion changed a bit -- some cleanup work would have made a difference, but this is still a very very nice close shave. No regrets.
I'm in love with the Excelsior soap base. So good.
No it isn't, but we have a strict no-rules policy here.
I had a Dark Lord sample and it's an pretty incredible scent. The frag is very strong and lasts for ages. I honestly don't have high hopes of the dupe being close to the real thing, BUT I'm looking forward to something along the same vein!

Quick travel shave. Only two passes.
Ahh, I see. Similar to Kindergarten, or maybe pre-school in the USA?
That's exciting! I look forward to our son having free daycare 5 days a week 🤣

Totally forgot to strop, but as has been shown by some of our members, stropping sometimes isn't required! Maybe it was the lather, or the unstropped blade, or my technique, or all of the above... I give this shave a 10\10.
I hadn't noticed the lack of thumbnail, good catch! On Lemmy it's very client specific, but I guess PieFed doesn't show any thumbnail if there's no link associated with the post. I'll ask Rimu about it. I think our use of a thumbnail for posts is pretty niche.

Nice shave despite being cream and a disposable.
