Bill, where did you get the Balea cream? That's one of the cheapest German-creams to be found. It performs very well, but I cannot seem to make the scent work for me.
Sunday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Derby day 6 Moroccan Palmolive Classic SC Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Old Spice Classic AS (P&G) :love008 :love008 :love008 :love008 Old Spice Cologne (Shulton) :love008 :love008 :love008 :love008 A good and clean shave today, although not as close as I would normally get, because instead of going ATG on the 2nd pass, I did a light XTG with no touch-up. I'm going to try this method for a couple of weeks in order to see if it'll help my skin which is very sensitive, particularly after a shave. I already see an improvement.
