Excellent shave. This razor is great I enjoy it every time I take it out.

I recently mailed out a couple of smooshes of this soap to LG participants and decided to reacquaint myself with it this morning. Rose is not my go-to scent by any stretch of the imagination but for some reason, I really enjoy the scent of this soap. It's not a cloying scent and it doesn't have a sweetness that swings the scent toward grandma's favorite perfume (not to be confused with the scent of Grandma's pocketbook that Tabac is reminiscent of). Adding the rose-iness of Ocean Grove on top just adds to the goodness of soap's scent. Performance-wise, this soap totally works for me. If I had to endure a 'punishment' similar to what u/EldrormR is going through by only using an MDC brain bowl, I have no doubt I could 'suffer' through it.
On to a long ass day of meetings. Have a great day all!

I'm seeing multiple SOTD threads for today, anyone else?
I haven't used the Slim in a while. I don't mess with the setting as much as I thought I would when I first bought it. Mostly I just "set it and forget it". Setting 5 seems to work best for me.
