Soap Stick Today was my first time using a shaving soap stick, and my first time using Mystic Waters soap. I'm very impressed. This was an excellent, comfortable shave. No weepers or burn for BBS cheeks and DFS neck. I used the RR/HTGAM pre-shave, and just rubbed the Mystic right over that. The HIS whipped that mixture into very creamy lather in short order. The first pass was almost too creamy, since I had to rinse my SC101 more often. The last two passes were great as well. The soap has a subtle Bay Rum scent and excellent performance. It paired well with Krampert's Finest Bay Rum. Prep: RR/HTGAM pre-shave soap Soap: Mystic Waters Bay Rum Stick Brush: HIS Razor: SC101 Blade: Gillette SE yellow (1) AS: Krampert's Finest Bay Rum

The Anherb conditioner came in handy to moisturize my face even more and to give some extra iciness. The Floid Classic aftershave is another frosty delight which I love. Another super-duper BBS shave. Sorry, no photos today. Have a great weekend, folks!
