    Pre-shave: hot shower
    Shave Cream: Barbasol Sensitive Skin Travel Size Can http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...m-travel-can-experiment-sensitive-skin.57755/
    Razor: Gem Micromatic OC
    Blade: Gem Blue Star (3rd or 4th use)
    Post-shave: Dickinson WH, Nivea Sensitive PS Balm, Family Dollar Spice AS

    I have no idea how much longer this travel size can of Barbasol is going to last. This is shave #15 and it still hasn't showed signs it is about to give up. I watched the Minnesota / Cleveland game this morning then took a quick shower and then shaved. It was a DFS too. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

    Thank you, Doug! It's a very good performer, looks good, and it's super inexpensive. Who could ask for more ?

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Fine Snake Bite Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #229 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Sheraton razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    One day left in OCtober. It has been a great ride. I have enjoyed seeing all the great OC razors this month. Thank you gentlemen for sharing.

    Thank you. It was a long time coming. I am happy to have it. It is perhaps my best shaver of all.
