That after 4 or 5 great shaves with my Aristocrat that I'm not the expert I thought I had turned into. Hacked myself up this morning using exactly what I had provided a BBS yesterday.
That I really like Proraso Red croap and it face lathers great. Having OD'd on Tabac the last few weeks, I decided I needed to get back to some others. Red never disappoints.
Even with the addition of some really outstanding new soaps to my den, MdC still sits on the top shelf! Ive come a very long way in two years in upgrading my wet shaving gear. Using what was once my favorite blade Personna Lab Blue again has been great.
I learned that I can pack enough supplies in my shaving kit bag to get a DFS even at a hotel. If only their sink would hold water... (SWMBO and I went to my company Christmas party last night in a town an hour away from home, so we stayed at the Sheraton)
I was lucky enough to learn that the Gillette Ranger Tech '41 is indeed as good of a razor that so many have claimed it to be. An excellent shave was had.
One can get a killer result from a $5 safety razor. I'm very impressed with my new, "cheap", Lord 314.
I learned I still have no knack lathering Cella. Dry brush or wet brush I get good lathers just not the same layer each time. Good news is I caught my wife wrapping three tubes of C.O. Bigelow(which I love)for Christmas.
