SOTD 10.4.2017

Pre-shave: Warm towel & pre-shave oil
Shave Cream: Every Man Jack Sensitive Fragrance Free Shave Cream (ended up adding some Cremo Original Shave Cream)
Brush: Omega Synthetic Hi-Brush
Razor: vintage Probak 3 piece OC
Blade: Wilkinson-Sword (3)
Post-shave: Dickinson WH, Every Man Jack Signature Mint Post-Shave lotion, Jovan Musk AS / Cologne

I chose to use the Every Man Jack Shave Cream since I had not used it for a long time. Normally, I just apply it by hand and it works well. I decided to experiment and try to bowl lather it with a brush, but I probably should have just applied it to my face by hand. Not wanting to give up so easily, I added some Cremo Original and managed some lather build up, which I applied to my face with the brush. I liked the mixture in that it felt very nice on the skin and it was very slick. I also like the citrusy scent the Cremo Original has. Neverthess, I could've just saved some time and applied either cream by hand and gotten the same result.

However, the main goal for today's shave was to try out, for the first time, the Probak 3 piece OC razor I picked up at an antique store in August. I'm not sure why it took so long to get to this point. This razor is in excellent shape. I started out slowly, but became so confident with it quickly. This is an amazing razor! I got a very close, comfortable shave throughout, even for my trouble spots on the neck.

Have a great day, gents and ladies!
