SOTD MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 2021
Up and on my way early to complete the second dose of my twice yearly half day infusion for RA. Trust me this aging crap ain’t for sissies, as my own grandfather used to say! Since I was in a bit of a rush I grabbed my tried and true Feather DX for my mug and my Supply V2 loaded with a Schick Twinjector blade. The DX stripped the mug stubble right down to the skin line in three clean passes with its Feather Proguard blade while the Supply did the same for my dome in two passes. I’m really starting to like this A&E Shaving Butter. It claims to possess lavender and wood notes , and there is a slight ‘frou frou’ flowery scent when first opened, but that quickly dissipates, leaving what is essentially an unscented shave. A&E advertise the stuff as being the first of their skin essentials line, and boy, they’re not kidding. This is one shaving cream/croap that could easily be used alone. It leaves an almost iridescent sheen on the shave surface that is initially a bit sticky, but dries to the same feeling as an excellent balm like a Castle Forbes or Pre de Provence. Because I like menthol I finished the shave with Krampert’s Frostbite AS. Just a great shave leaving me feeling clean, cool, and velveteen smooth!
