Aftershave Balm: eShave Cucumber Aftershave Cream - That was the last of it.
Cologne: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Culture for Men Eau De Toilette - Review coming soon

Result - 4.7/5.0 The Floris cream is all that a shave cream should be. I give it high marks all around and would definitely buy again. The eShave aftershave balm/cream is nice but I have much better products and will not purchase again. I'm almost ready to review the Tabac Culture Cologne and the Epicurean Pine Tar Shea Butter Soap. I use the soap for my shower at home after working the horses.

Everything the same as yesterday except I used Floris JT cream and Pinaud Clubman Mush Aftershave. I'm going to skip the cologne. The aftershave should last me hours and hours. Oh, and did I mention the burn factor?

 

too many variables......

Shave:
Simpsons Super Chubby1
Slant + German Wilkie [#3S(3P+TU)]
Trumpers Lime Shave Soap
WWR
CWR
AquaVelva Musk AS + AV Classic AS Splashes = DOCS Fire and Ice combo
Melaleuca SunShades After Sun aloe gel
RNB SummerSalve
MamaBear Dragons Blood Edt

 

Ya, that's one of those mixed up shaves. You went Lime then AV then Dragon's Blood. Should smell you coming a mile away. How many days you going to use the Wilkinson Blade? Blades are usually a 3 day thing for me. Day 1 is really sharp and I need more care but can get a really close 2 pass shave. Day 2-3 are perfect. Day 4 is either get rid of it or shave something else like collar line or underarms and then toss.

 

Well...
I should clarify.
My "plans" for the shave were based around using the Trumpers Lime soap.
I was gonna go BayRum AS and then BayRum ASB to finish (just because i love Ems BR ASB Soooo much).
But.
Day 3 with the Wilkie was too rough and I had some residual irritation on the lower neck region from yesterday.
The Lime soap lathered well and shaved nicely but the combo old blade and slant tore me up.
Hence the double dip of the Velver.
And the Straight Aloe gel pre ASB.
The Dragons Blood EdT was just because I love the smell so much and I needed a "hug" to make me feel better.
Dont know how long the Wilkie will last in my other razors but 2 days in the Slant is plenty.

 

Center neck hollows are the danger zone for me. I can usually get away with no balm everywhere else but I like to make sure there.

And as far as the hug?
Men don't do :sexeor even :agelic13. They do the WHAT WERE YOU THINKIN! :signs140angry032
