SOTD: Tuesday July 25, 2017


Razor: Blackbird (open comb)
Blade: Timor (3rd use)
Brush: Frank Shaving 26MM Silvertip
Cream: Taylor of Old Bond Street Platinum 
Aftershave: The Stray Whisker After Balm 
Closeness and Efficiency: 9.5/10, DFS close to BBS
Scent Subjectivity: 8.5/10 to 9/10
Performance: 10/10
Post Shave Feel: 10/10

• Without looking at the scent profile, I immediately picked up on citrus and a secondary note of sandalwood (which was likely the bergamot and sandalwood). The scent is weak out of the tub, but comes out with a lather. 
• Loaded and lathered easily, which usually is the case with TOBS. 
• Thanks to Dave Munoz for giving me the heads up on this knowing my affinity for TOBS. 
• Although the scent is great, their Coconut, Almond, and Cedarwood still round out my favorite scents. 
• If you get your hands on the After Balm, use a very small pinch. The post feel is amazing. 
• Let's not forget the Blackbird. In my honest opinion, it's one of the more consistent and efficient razors.
