Result: I averaged 4.5-4.6/5.0 on each shave. I now have a Feather ACD-N at home to help me get real close shaves and with a slight prep change, I have upped the consistency of the results. I used the TOBS Sandalwood each day because 1) I like it and 2) it was handy sitting on the sink from the previous day(s) shaves. I never did get to straighten out my gear at home while I was off so that is a future project that needs to get done. Right after I do my locker shelves project.
