I’m so happy I chose this setup for AA. This is my first tub of CGC, and $darkwing is allowing me to really get used to this A+ level base. And the MM14 is something else, one of my favorite razors in a long time.

Another great shave with TINAT. I think it’s my favorite of all the Fanzines. Not to say I don’t like the others, but this is my favorite.

Off the puck this was my least favorite of the FS scents, but once I started lathering it, I was really intrigued and am looking forward to using it again.

To the moon! $ROCKtober

I’m stanning Fanzine for MM. I have three FS soaps, this one, TINAT, and Caravaggio. So far TINAT and P.S. have been great. Looking forward to using Caravaggio for my next shave (hopefully in two days).

I think that may have been my fastest shave ever. I’m sick and want to go to bed but my face has that horrible prickly feeling that I just can’t stand. +1 for Fanzine. $ROCKtober

Decided to throw in with $darkwing for AA since I’ve only used CGC once. This MM14 is incredible, really loving it.

I shaved with this soap not because I wanted to, but because I needed to knock down a unique soap to make sure everything is working as intended. Yay for testing things 5 days into the contest.
