I've been using my VDH boar brush, and going through my sampler of shaving creams. The previous shave was with a Schick I2 injector and TBOS Sandalwood. Result was just ok. There was some irritation on the back and sides especially. This time was with the same Schick I2 injector and blade, with Musgo Real cream. I'm sure my lathering was a bit better, and my blade angle was a bit better. Whatever it was, boy oh boy was it smooth. Smoothest head shave of my life.
