    Cologne:
    Musgo Real Agua di Colonia #2 - Oak Moss:drool

    It was a Musgo Real Day and I tried out the Epicurean Shea Butter Soap finally. I must have been real happy with all this stuff and I really was, because I was just skating the Merkur Slant across my face without really thinking about it and went OH S*** what am I doing!! It's OK, the Musgo Real Cream kept me from killing myself. :D I did have one rough patch (left neck hollow) though and when the Musgo Real Aftershave hit it....

    So, I'd give it a 4.1/5.0 for the shave and 3.0/5.0 for idiocy but, hey! I was really enjoying myself. As far as the shea butter soap is concerned? I've already got the site book marked and plotting my next purchase. I know Vitamin Shoppe carries it but only about 5 versions. Lather, lather, lather and oh so nice to the skin. Between this and Issy soap, I'm set.

    Hot shower
    Speick shave stick
    C&E Best Badger
    Gillette NEW/Wilkinson Sword
    Alum block
    Makler AS
    Anherb conditioner

    Thanks to the help on how to use the stick properly, I had a really nice shave. I think part of the reason sticks works so well is because you are massaging your beard hairs right at the start as you apply the stick to your face. I didn't get a super thick lather, but a slick protective one that was easy to rebuild from what I had on my brush.

    OK, I totally reek of Bay Rum. :D Good thing this stuff dries down quick. Now I only half reek. The shave went well. 4.5/5.0 I ended up first passing with the Merkur Gold HD Classic then doing my cheeks and parts of my neck with the str8 for pass 2 and 3. I finished off the shave with the HD for ATG and cleanup.
