Another great, enjoyable shave just before - the Shark blade is still holding up quite well. The Edwin Jagger Menthol cream's scent to me anyway, is just ok - not great but this stuff lathers very well and gives a decent cooling sensation, especially during the second pass. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream as always, made my face feel so cool and nice while the Black Powder aftershave gave me its lovely scent, together with a strong menthol feeling.

Enjoy the weekend!

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy.

Fat Friday! I am out of town at a conference but brought along the goods to have my traditional Friday shave. I'll use this combination again tomorrow. Terrific lather with the synthetic brush. I normally use a big boar brush but the synthetic had the right amount of water mixed in and made a slick, shiny, beautiful lather. No complaints.

Have a great day!
