Good shave. New product today is definitely different than my normal. I’ll be a bit reserved it’s not terrible and I believe it could grow on me. The scent is very earthy but I’m having trouble picking it apart.

Heather is on my list to try. I have yet to be disappointed in any Spearhead products. The soaps all lather so well it’s effortless.

Great shave. This scent is so good and still the family favourite. Shave could be a bit closer I have 9 shaves on this blade and it should’ve been 8.

I prefer the Overlander. It’s simple and very efficient. The CB is nice but I chose a shorter handle and slightly more aggressive plates. I feel like a solid B or C plate could be my cinderella setup. It’s expensive to chase perfection in copper though.

Good shave today. These blades are ok but lack longevity after about 5 shaves they do not perform well anymore.

This month is traditionally not one of my favourites. Typically it’s cold out and the holiday season has never interested me much. I’m kind of a scrooge and I have little explanation as to why, even a slightly warmer winter so far has yet to brighten my mood.

I’ve ordered a couple new sets before shipping gets totally messed up. Looking forward to trying out some new stuff as it’s been quite some time since my last spending spree.

Have a great day everyone!
