Last of the LPL shaving soap. Not sure what went awry, the soap and brush produced masses of lather but it lacked slickness which is unusual. Still a close shave but lacked the satisfaction of knowing it was as good as it possibly could be.

Back to a normal posting on 22 November.​

The Personna Floating Head Injector is the mildest injector I have ever used. It is even milder than the Gillette Injector. I did not get a good shave at all with it. I have used it in the past with several different blades including the Personna 74* and nothing seems to make it shave any closer. Back into the collection only group for this one.

The Omega Pro 49 is setting up well after its first shave. It will be a while before it fully breaks in and holds the lather better but still the wait is worth it.

Soap Commander is a very mild smelling Old Spice like scent. It was not strong enough in my opinion because the natural scent of the soap ingredients could still be smelt clearly. Since I am breaking in a new brush, I will hold off on any opinions of this soap in terms of performance for now.

Cheers!

First time with this brush and soap...Wow! Soap performed superbly. Boar knot is softening up and should turn out great. I've never used a boar brush before today, this one is very nice. Pass-1 with the Wadsworth, pass-2 & 3 with the slant.
