SOTN
/ Oumo Goblin Lotustip
/ Wholly Kaw Pompelmo
/ Tatara Masamune Nodachi
/ Gillette Platinum (1)
/ The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA
/ Nivea Skin & Stubble

Very close and smooth shave, with a little nick in the usual problem spot.

I was contemplating getting the Masamune top cap with Nodachi base plate before calling dibs on TomG’s Nodachi. In comparing this with the Blutt, I’m glad I went full nodachi as the Masamune top cap with less blade exposure would have probably just ended up another Blutt-like razor. Variety is the spice of shaves as they say.

Not a bad setup yourself MrG. How are the Jack Black products? As good as the deodorant's reputation?

G’day Mate! Yep - I rate their products. The shaving cream is easy to lather, slick, a crisp clean scent, and a great post shave.
The post shave cooling gel was a gift from my Son - he purchased it at the Melb Mensbiz store. Very soothing, but don’t expect it to have a menthol-like cooling effect; a gentler approach.
I’ve been a Pit Boss man from the first day I used it - nothing comes close. Brilliant for travel, and when living out of a suitcase. I also use their Turbo wash gel; another great travel product that works well as both a shampoo and body wash. It has a robust herbal scent that some may not enjoy, but I find it invigorating. Rosemary, tea tree and Eucalyptus are prominant, but it is very natural, and not too medicinal.

Also in this category worth considering is the Body Shop Grapefruit shower gel. I find that a really useful all-round detergent with a pleasant mild citrus scent. Not too aggressive, you can use it as a shampoo, handwash, glasses cleaner, dishwash or just about anything, just adjust the quantity you use accordingly.

sums the occasional TAS spring day up just about perfectly. A rose scented shave is the icing on the cake.
