The set up for the past two days:

Somebody's home made soap that smells nice
1966 Gillette travel razor with Crystal blade
Barbasol Brushless Shave Cream
Three passes + blade buffing
WWR
CWR
A sample tube of Calvin Klein's Obsession ASB

The travel razor has worked very well, once I adjusted to the short handle. For me it's been a bit trickier to keep the proper blade angle.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. It's on to New Year's and we already have reservations for New Year's Eve.

Well as I stayed overnight at my Mother's I had to pack a makeshift travel shaving kit. Only a brief 10 minute shave as I did not want to hog the bathroom as there are other guests staying.

Today is the day we open our presents with most of the family coming to my Mother's (except my daughter who is with my ex on holiday in Australia :frown: so first Boxing Day without her being here)

Have a wonderful Boxing Day everyone.

Kind regards

The Am. Crew Shave Cream was somewhat underwhelming, though, despite the instructions, I tried using the brush with it and did not get any lather to speak of.. The sc seemed to dry very quickly on my face, even though I kept adding more water. I'll try it again without the brush to see if that makes a difference (probably whipping air into an already somewhat thin cream caused it to be overly dry). I do like the scent of it, and I did get a fairly decent shave, I guess that is what's most important..
