My SOTW: (am beard, and I typically shave my neck once a week)
I have settled on a two pass shave; three pass was too much for my skin when I shaved daily before the beard, and I never tried adding the third pass when I bearded. WTG neck and cheeks, xtg cheeks and a slanted xtg/atg hybrid on my neck to get just a bit closer.
On off days I use FG odp to maintain odor continuity.
I've tried lots of scents and this one floored me, I am now on my second soap and third splash of FG after ~3 years of shaving 1-5 times per week. It is officially my official scent, I hope they keep making it but have a stash for the next few years if they don't.
I forgot to mention Gillette blades! My faves are KCG but they're stupid expensive so I usually get silver blues or nacets.
LOL, odor continuity.
