Bod Man really ripped abs cologne

Tepid shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

I ran the Dovo 50 passes on the pasted strop then 50 on the linen and 50 on the leather on my regular strop. I did a first complete pass with the Dovo. I followed up with the DE. Aqua Velva for the following up freeze and really ripped abs for the citrus and musk. No nicks, no weepers and no burn just a close comfortable shave. It's not a bad way to wind down a Monday.
