Tuesday 1/6 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Soap: Van der Hagen
  [*]Razor: '05 Gillette Old Type with Double Ring Handle
  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (shave 13)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Nivea Extra Soothing ASB
  
  [*]Result: A great, great, BBS shave. Did have to stretch the skin on my right side neck. Only one little cut on my upper lip in the mustache area. Got too quick there. The Van der Hagen was an impulse purchase at Rite Aid yesterday. Figured if it did not work out okay I would use it as a bath soap. It lathered pretty good (not like Tabac & MWF) but okay. Had to refresh the brush after the second pass but that was no real problem.
