Aftershave: Olbas Oil + Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave

Result: 4.4/5.0 The new STR8 needs some more honing. Has a nice heft and feel to it. I then went to the 34C HD Classic/Treet for the second pass. Didn't like the result and finished up with the 37C Slant Bar/Feather. Much better thank you. I froze my face with the Olbas oil and Thayers Aftershave. Smooth and cool.

Aftershave Balm: Anherb Aftershave Conditioner

Result: 2.5/5.0 Blew it. I should have stuck to one pass since I'm just starting with this razor. I was OK until I went 45XTG. Picked up 3 weepers and some irritation. On the good side, I got a very close shave. I probably would have ended up with a great shave if I had left it one pass and clean up with a DE. Rats. Anherb to the rescue.
