What's new

SOTD August 28 to September 3.

Instead of not shaving today and healing from that injector butchery, I compromised and used a M3T. It's pretty foolproof around the neck area with the pivoting head, so I can heal and shave at the same time. Yay!

Shower:
KMF Olive Oil bar
Proraso Pre

Shave:
Tabac cream
Shavemac 562 (Pure)
Mach 3 Turbo w/ aftermarket handle
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Will G Sandalwood A/S balm

Did a comparison of the Personna blades in two razors:
Merkur Classic Long Handle
Gillette Tech

C&E Sweet Almond Oil
C&E Pure Badger Travel Brush
Baxter of California
Old Spice Cologne

The Merkur was frightening. Felt like it was pulling not cutting.
The Gillette was fine with such a cheap blade. Interesting.

SR-204 brush
Honeybee CoolWater soap
Thayer's Lavender WH
Proraso pre/post

Very close shave today with no irritation. I did three normal passes (with, across, against) and a special, magic touchup pass. I rinsed all the soap off and did careful touchup with just water. Let me tell you... it was closer than I've had before, with no ill effects.
