Description: Today I bowl lathered with the Tom's of Maine shaving cream. The stuff is interesting, it's barely a cream, more of a hard paste so I typically have trouble lathering it on my face. So, I used a bowl. The results were pretty positive.
Anyway, the shave itself was solid. Three nice passes with very little pressure and I ended up with an irritation free shave that is acceptably close. Probably not the closest ever, but close enough for a Monday morning.
The after shave balm was a nice finish, it's mild lavender scent was a good follow-up to the somewhat in your face chilling mint smell of the shaving cream. A very enjoyable shave.
