Shower
Bath Soap: Dr. Bronner's Unscented Mild Castille Soap
Shampoo/Conditioner: EO Products Chamomile & Honey Conditioner Shampoo/Conditioner: EO Products Chamomile & Honey Shampoo
Facial Wash: Nivea Sensitive Skin Facial Wash
Body Lotion: Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Lotion

Shaving Bowl: Petco 4" Stainless Steel Pet Water Bowl
Shaving Cream: eShave Cucumber Shave Cream
Shaving Soap: Wilkinson Sword Wilkinson Blue Shave Soap
Technique: WTG/45XTG/45XTG
Post Shave
Aftershave: Em's Place Minty Menthol Aftershave and Body Splash
Cologne: Penhaligon Douro

Result: 4.3/5.0 Not quite BBS. I stopped at 3 passes with no clean up because I wanted to shave my front neckline while I still had a sharp blade. You can forget the Aqua Velva, I'm a fan of Em's Minty Menthol Aftershave. As a note to the slant and similar headed razors, I always check the blade alignment just before final tightening. It does make a difference in how the slant works and may save you some cuts and irritation.

 

HERETIC! BURN HIM AT THE STAKE! ::ban
