Post Shave
Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave
Aftershave: eShave White Tea Aftershave Cream
Cologne: Saint Charles Shave LLC SCS Blend 2-11 Eau De Toilette

Result: 4.7/5.0 BBS and it calmed right down from the tiny tiny amount of redness. This was one of the days where I was I didn't want to put the brush down. Honeybee Old Spice Soap Scent just kept me painting over and over. The glide today just kept the Slant/7am gliding smoothly. For me, the test is my left side neck hollow and jawline. If a soap or cream treats that spot right then it passes the test.
