Ouch.

 

Hot Shower
Gem 1912 Fat Handle
TSD Iced Subzero
Omega Boar Brush
Dickinsons WH (Aloefied)
Clubman Bay Rum
Pinaud Lime Sec EDT

First try of this stack, very nice. Nothing seems to be lost in translation between the cream and soap versions of iced subzero, skin freezing, icy menthol goodness through and through. The aftershave and EDT worked well together with the Bay Rum turning down the "Lemon Pledge" smell of Lime Sec a bit. The citrusy smell is still there but not nearly as strong and somewhat diluted by the spicy notes of the Bay Rum. It had been a while since I'd used Bay Rum even on top of WH it really packs quite a burn (hurts so good)

Tuesday 8/18 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: The "Ever Roddy 300"
  [*]Cream: Salter Wild Rose
  [*]Razor: GEM Contour SE
  [*]Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated SE (shave 1)
  [*]Oil Pass: The Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Haslinger Wellness Sandalwood After Shave Balm
  [*]EDT: Nine Flags Aromatic Tabac from Brazil
  
  [*]Result: Not so nice shave. Got BBS but lots of weepers today. Must have been the Contour. First use in say 3 months and I need to relearn the proper technique if I intend to keep using it. The Salter cream was nice but nothing extra special. Scent was very strong but it did make a nice slick lather. Most likely would try another Rose cream next time.
