June 11 SOTD

Prep: Shower…then hot facecloth followed by homemade Rose EO pre-shave oil
Soap: Shiseido Men Shave Cream
Razor: Parker 99R DE
Blade: Feather
Brush: None
Aftershave: Hot facecloth followed by Lavender Witch Hazel
Aftershave balm: Shea Butter

This morning I used another new shave cream I purchased recently called Shiseido Men Shave Cream. This is a Japanese product. The consistency of this shave cream is similar to hand lotion. There is a very mild scent to this product, but it is not unpleasant and dissipates quickly after rinsing. This product also has an ingredient list that is best interpreted by a biochemist. The cream is applied by hand and does not lather. It ranks high with its moisturizing quality and lubricates exceedingly well.
Overall this product surprised me...a very nice shave. :hooray:

Face & Neck both = BBS I got my neck BBS without it looking like a honey badger has been chewing on it.

I have to say I've been super impressed with the Mama Bear samples that I have tried. While the Lilac Lavender soap was just as slick and lathered just as well as the other samples, it was just a touch light in the scent department. But, sometimes it's good to have a light scent. Sandalwood Rose is still by far my favorite.

Soap: Mama Bear's Lilac Lavender

Razor: R-89 with SI blade

Post: Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel and some Master Lilac Vegetal very liberally applied

Cologne: Dolce Gabbana
