1st use of Summer Break Soaps and their Cannonball. It's a tropical clorine/ozone type aquatic to remind you of the pool with a Synthetic Cooling Agent that gives a great chill and is my preference to menthol as it doesn't tamper with the scent. Here's their description of it:

"Cannonball! is probably the scent we are most known for. It is also easily one of the most unique scents out there. The scent is meant to remind you of a tropical day at the pool.

Notes include: Pineapple, orange, water, ozone, and chlorine.

Cannonball! also contains a synthetic cooling agent.

This will also be the last summer that it will be available for a couple of years as I'm shifting away from seasonal scent releases."

I have trouble picking up the pineapple and orange but I did enjoy the scent. Not saying it isn't there. Just that my receptors weren't getting much of it if any. Glad to have this as it looks like it isn't coming back for awhile and is sold out most if not all places by now.

The Schick Type L5 sometimes called the Paul Revere Injector by the current crowd but not named that originally. I will say this up front, Eric MaineYooper You don't need THIS hard to find and often overpriced model, but you DO NEED an "L" model based on what your preferences seem to be. Definitely a milder shave that did not lack the efficiency the injectors are known for. The longer handle always kept me from buying one of these but if I was completing the alphabet, I figured this was the one I wanted. While I felt like I was shaving with a yardstick it was an effortless shave that yielded GREAT results. I can live with the length and adjusted technique for that. Have a great day Folk !

Friday's Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Van der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Bunny B400 Badger by T. White
Bunny V3 Injector by T. White
Supply Black Label injector
CWR
English Leather AS

The Van der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with the Bunny B400 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor with the NOTSO comb and a Supply Black Label injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I had a spectacular shave with a Henckels Rapides razor yesterday. I hadn't shaved in about 5 days but the Henckels mowed down the long stubble with ease. The vintage Williams lathered very well with a copper handled Zenith boar. Aqua Velva is always a good choice to finish off a Williams shave.
