Earlier day shave, late report. Daughter's BF flew into Houston, rented a car, met our crew in Beaumont, Texas. Stopped by a flea market to kill some time before we had supper at Golden Corral, and loaded her & suitcase into BF's car for them to do a week's cruise.. I was weak, bought a DE for five bucks.
But before all that happened, I got in a shave with a couple new to me pieces of shave gear. Thanks to Tom
@Tommynick for the series of interesting new international shave creams. This one from India has the recommendation of the Indian Medical Association. I'll second that for the pleasant scent & slick lather. "Crispy" menthol is some good stuff! On Jason's
@jtspartan suggestion I used a Russian blade in the razor I bought from Andrew
@BBS. Great performance from the Sharp Star/Cooper combo! No nicks, very smooth efficient reduction on a three pass. No problems finding the sweet spot. Alum swiped quietly, The Osage rubbed on coolly, and the Grey Flannel finished well.
Good Shaves Y'all!
