Today's shave was disturbingly good. I don't know if it was just one of the elusive greats that visits us all every so often or if my altered prep was to blame. I plan on repeating this prep for the next few days to see the effect.

Prep:

• 3 minutes of hot towel treatment
• application of Proraso Pre/Post shave cream
• 3 additional minutes of hot towel treatment

C&E BB
Nancy Boy cooling a/s gel
QED Da Vinci water
Proraso pre/post

First shave ever. Went pretty good. I don't know what is considered "close" but my face feels much smoother. Although I think I still could do better.

 

[TraderJoe]

Musgo Real (I kind of forgot how great this scent is - are any of the colognes comparable to the shaving cream?)

I use the new formulation of the AS splash, and it is scented with the classic Musgo scent....its a great AS to boot. I haven't tried any of the colognes yet, but I am bound to give them a go at some point.




*BigDee - Congrats on the 1st shave

It was my second day using the feather after a horrible first day. However with the Fatboy the feather really pulled through and I mean REALLY!! This is the closet and most irritation free shave I have EVER had. Usually when I apply my Thayer’s witch hazel after a shave there is a heavy sting which I am now used to...however when it was time to apply my witch hazel after today shave there was barely any sting...I say barely because there always will be a little sting no matter how irritation free your shave is due to the high alcohol content in Extra Strength Witch Hazel. ...I was completely shocked...Now my RAD kicked ion again and am trying to find back ups of this wonder razor.
