SOTD-23feb16:
Merkur 37C / NOS Gillette Super Stainless "the Spoiler"(2)
Vintage Blades 24mm 2-Band w/Faux Horn Handle
Nuàvia Blu
Biggs & Featherbelle Winter Wonderlands Whipped Shea Butter

This razor is one borrowed from a friend locally(Thanks, Chaz!). This is one I've wanted to explore for a while. Now, if the software is any indication,(I don't usually use anything post-shave with
Nuàvia,) I had a little redness and irritation on my cheeks this fine morning. I should have gone: WTG + WTG, but I got cocky and went: WTG + XTG. New razor and completely different technology. My bad! Don't worry, I'll live to shave another day!
 
I feel like a bum posting cheesy iPhone photos next to all these masterpieces. I'm getting dangerously close to pulling out the Camera gear and really jumping into the fray. Perhaps next week!

Though I'd be happy to see good use of camera gear, nothing wrong with iPhone pics. All my shots this week will be from my cell!
