Just a nice shave. Didn't try to overshave and am happier as a result. The Lider Classic has a really nice kind of herbal smell.

OK, how about Roy Rogers

There's nothing there at all
You just seem older than yesterday
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call"

 

Nice Jim!

 

I think we need to get Jim to post his Medicine Cabinet. He has way too much nice stuff that he's hiding I think.

Result: OK, it was a 4.7/5.0 shave day. Go figure. I thought it was going to be a disaster the way it was going. I used the Ogallala shave soap as a bath soap as a said I would but then decided to use it as my shave soap too. Why not? I mixed it with the C&E Nomad cream to help it out. Nice scent combo it turned out to be. The Ogallala was true to form and the lather sucked. It even killed the Nomad cream. Nice lather goes on and poof! It disappears. Arrgghh... not only that by it was tugging the Open Comb. The blade was day three so maybe that was it. I went through 2 passes that way and then got desperate and put some Nomad right on the brush and lathered it on my face. Much better. Saved the shave and my face. I cleaned everything up and then prayed I didn't create a Martian Landscape out of my face. Slapped some Ogallala AS on it and looked. Damn, I lucked out. Not only that, it was BBS all the way. Phew. Shave God was smiling on me today.
