21-01-18 Pre: Warm water face wash Brush: Omega 11137 Boar Soap: Lea Classic Razor: Mongoose (on loan) Blade: Schick Proline P Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Lea Classic AS Second go with the Mongoose and it was a better experience but I'm still not completely won over. Maybe a Feather Pro or Pro Super would work better as I found it inefficient in the problem areas. I resisted the temptation to apply pressure but the extra passes and pick ups have left my skin a teeny bit irritated. 22-01-18 Pre: Warm water face wash Brush: Semogue 2000 Boar Soap: MWF Razor: Gem MMOC Blade: Schick NOS '70s? Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Tuff Red AS Thought I'd take a break from the Mongoose and went for a razor which I knew would deliver the goods efficiently and smoothly. A great start to the week.

My Menthol Monday shave was a great pleasure as well as BBS and super-frigid. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap lathered rich, slick, and cushiony with a freeze to end all freezes. The Glacial Unscented balm felt so cold and soothing, not to mention what the Arctique did to me! Have a great week!
