Monday 4/20 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: SCS Smoke & Beads
  [*]Razor: '53 Gillette President
  [*]Blade: Super Iridium Extra Stainless (shave 5)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & SCS Savory Rose ASM
  [*]EDT: SCS Smoke & Beads EDT
  
  [*]Result: Very fine BBS shave today with no blood. The Iridium is going good after 5 shaves. Now only 9 more to go. For a TTO razor the President does a good job. Still prefer the 3 piece open comb razors but this one is fine for a change of pace.
