IT IS PRACTICALLY NEON WHITE. NICE MOISTURIZING EFFECT DUE TO IT'S NATURE OF BEING A SHEA SOAP I SUSPECT. HAVE A GREAT SHAVE AND A GREAT DAY GUYS.

 

SOTD January 16, 2016

Noxema pre shave
Gillette Ball End Tech / Gillette 7 O'Clock
Semogue / MWF
WH / Shea butter/ Proraso ASB

Today is my wildcard shave, so I decided to go all out and use a new razor, blade, and soap. The razor is a Travel Tech head on a Ball End Tech handle (I prefer the longer handle, but like the travel tech head). Great razor, nice balance. The blade is not my usual Astra SP, but the 7 o'clock was a welcome change. The MWF is not in my current rotation, but it is always a pleasure to use. Great shave all around. Enjoy your Saturday everyone. Here in Atlantic Canada we are bracing for a snowy few days.
