Have been wondering about Cremo for some time. If it gets a gig in your exemplary rotation I’m kinda thinking it may be okay?

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pick-up in the P&C Charity Auction a few years back, and yes - I rate it.
The scent in this version is minty, which I don't mind, but not exactly in my wheelhouse. I'd like to get my hands on their Sandalwood version.

Had a tough weekend with fridges breaking down and also sad & stressful family news but I did enjoy this shave.

Shave Report: Awesome overall performance from the Shannon's soap, a top Tier performer for me. From the lather I get a very pleasant warm sophisticated aroma of citrus, lavender & woody aroma, a well blended juice,scent strength is about 5/10. The Legend AC razor with the Captain Titan Mild blade provided me with a mild, smooth, yet efficient shave.
