Another forum I'm in is doing a 'Tiger' week, so I'm rolling with the Tiger Platinum. It's just one of those rock-solid, upper-middle-tier blades that does the job with minimal fuss. They don't do anything better than some blades I can get for the same cost or cheaper, so I don't have many of them and probably never will. Not bad blades for my face, though.

The Fresher is growing on me. It's a hard-to-describe scent for me ... muted citrus with some 'green' hints. It may never be an absolute favorite, but it certainly isn't bad at all. Being Stirling, the lather is easy to make and predictable to use. It has all the 'goodies' I like so I am happy.

I finished off with ( new to me ) Clubman Lime Sec. Lovely scent, and my face likes it but absolutely no legs with lasting power, which is typical of many lime scents. I still like it, and it matches well with the Fresher.

Pictured, but not actually used is a hunk of Aleppo soap I typically use as a pre-shave. Was in a hurry this morning, so didn't actually apply it.

A lovely shave. No unknowns! Same razor, brush blade and software as many times before. It does not mean the shave was not enjoyable.
Talking about unknowns, if you're wondering where the etched coordinates on the handle will take you, I've done the work :)

Back with the kindly loaned Slope today after my time with the Titan passaround. It too have a lovely shave that I found more successful than the first time I used it. However the odd feeling using it remained, despite it offering nothing but a smooth shave and not as much as a nick! I’m still not sure I’m getting the ‘angle’ correct but I guess they are supposed to feel different!
