I did a mix and match shave today of assorted items.
The JM Fraser's is now more a rubbery croap than a cream, but it still loads easily and face lathers well.
I bumped the Parker Adjustable injector to its maximum setting of 5. It removed my stubble with two easy passes with no irritation noted. For a daily shave, I would probably set the dial at 2 or 3 to minimize any irritation from more frequent shaving, but for heavy stubble, wide-open is fine.
I have had a couple small nearly empty sample bottles of splashes sitting on my sink for a few years and I decided to use them up this month. They were a gift from another 30DCer - probably Jason
@jtspartan. The blue bottle is Polar Ice to which he added glycerin for better skincare. The reddish liquid in the little spray bottle is an Old Spice dupe of some sort -- I think maybe B&M Reserve Spice (???). Not sure. Anyway, that was the one I used today. It smells nice, has a bit of an alcohol burn and has some soothing properties afterwards. There is enough left in the bottle for one or two more spritzes and then I will move on to the Polar Ice...
