Shaved at work - in a rush with a disposable sensor, not a good combo.

Schick disposable
Proraso soap (tub)
No name badger
Thayers lavender
Adidas ice dive a/s splash
Evian moisturizer with spf

All in all, a crappy shave, someone was waiting to use the shower at work so didn't build a proper lather and then shaved quickly - a couple of nicks and some razor burn - good think I keep some Jason tea tree as gel at work (great product, tea tree oil, witch haze and aloe - and cheap to boot).

I've just bought a couple of old injectors and plan to keep one at work to avoid this problem in the future.

Merkur Long Classic w/ (get this) a CVS Blade
C&E Pure Badger Travel Brush
Proraso Shaving Cream
Proraso Aftershave

Wow, I'm totally stunned by the quality of the blade and the quality of the shave. BBS and I cut myself less with the CVS blade than I normally do with the Merkur Super Platinum. Maybe my technique got better but not THAT much better.

Any idea who makes CVS blades?
