Also skipped the ASB.

Result: 4.2/5.0 Still healing up bottom of neck but I got close to BBS. Used the The Shave Den Bergamot Shave Soap for the first time and the Floid Italian Aftershave. First impressions of the soap are very good. Lathered quickly, nice subtle scent, good quality lather with slickness, cushion and moisturizing. The Floid Italian aftershave is a very nice. Now, I wonder what the Spanish and Blue are like. Oh well.

 

Nice

Thursday

I was pleasantly surprised with the Parker, after seeing such varying reviews of Parkers in general, I didn't know what to think. But it gave me a real nice shave with the Wilkinson. The long handle was interesting, I don't have any other DEs with a handle this long except for the one I started with. It did give it a nice balance and feel in my hand!

Joe, this one's for you! :: Thanks for hooking me up with the Parker!
