For my first Decadent shave of December, I went with my favourite injector razor and a brush made for the 30DC crew by Jason
@jtspartan. The soap and splash was a seasonal offering by the now defunct Jeeves of Hudson Street -- Key Lime.
The soap was a large sample that I had turned into a shave stick using one of TSD's shave stick containers. To be honest, it was a bit of a disappointment today. It originally had a powerful scent, but in the mere four years since I last used it, it had lost all its scent while sitting in that loose plastic holder. The performance was still there though.
The splash - which was sold in a glass bottle - made up for the soap with a still-noticeable scent. It also still provides excellent skin moisturizing and protection along with a light menthol tingle.
Overall, two passes to a great result with silent alum and at least a bit of a spicy scent.
A good start to December and I will try to do better than November - my first November report was on November 1 .... followed by nothing for the rest of the month.
