7 AUG 2010, Saturday

Haven't posted this week, due to feeling like death warmed over due to allergies.

Today, however, I had a really pleasant shave, which consisted of:
  • Proraso Pre-shave cream
  • MWF (bowl lathered in G5 scuttle)
  • Penworks silvertip brush
  • Merkur Progress set to 2 (still a little uncertain about the razor, but it's coming along)
  • Feather blade, 3rd day
  • alum block
  • witch hazel
  • Bigelow Elixir Black ASB

Near BBS with only one spot of irritation where I had really bad angle and pressure.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
