Strangest ever shaving experience this morning. Looking for a quick shave before a morning court appearance, and I remembered I had a tube of Pens Blenheim cream I hadn’t used lately. So, I grabbed and started squirting.
Like many on B&B, can’t see a darn thing without reading glasses. I kept squirting and squirting cream on my brush, and I got no lather. I always finish what I start, so I went through 3 passes without even a hint of lather. I just assumed weeks without power after Hurricanes Laura and Delta had messed up the cream.
Once finished, I put on my reading glasses and remembered I also have an identical tube (to me without reading glasses) of Pens Blenheim Aftershave. Anyway, I went through a 3 pass with shave, with touch-ups, with aftershave balm as my shave cream. Perhaps not as close as my normal shave, but absolutely zero irritation. I’m guessing that much balm soothed my skin like a barrel of Shea Butter.
Anyone else ever shave with AS balm?
