So my loving girlfriend got me a gift certificate to a barber shop here in Ri, and I decided to use it to stock up on some supplies. I bagged a T&H sandalwood cream and a Merkur 1904. Paired with a feather, I got one spankin' smooth shave! Wow was it comfortable too! I wasn't expecting to get the razor, but for $24, I figured it was worth the whim. Can't wait to shave again tomorrow!
