The razor was scary sharp and cut through my whiskers with impunity. Three passes left me BBS. I'm attempting to fight off a summer cold so odds are pretty good the rest of the day will suck but at least the shave went well.

They both give a very strong cooling effect, as well as a lot of skincare.

Monday, May 17, 2010 Razor: Merkur Progress XL Blade: Super Iridium Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super Cream: Arko Moist A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Speick Balm My brush was a little wetter than it should have been this morning, making my lather too wet and thin. However, I received a BBS, maybe BBS+ shave. When I applied the witch hazel (generic stuff, with enough Osage Rub added to counteract the witch hazel aroma and add a mild menthol tingle), I felt a momentary burn, indicating a closer shave than I had intended. I had been planning a finish of Speick splash, but chose instead Speick balm, which is very soothing. I don't seem to have any lasting razor burn, but I must remember to start out with a dryer brush when using Arko.
