    Blade: Chinese Schick
    Razor: Schick Type H
    Brush: Artisan badger
    Lather: Country Club Cahaba Blues
    Post: Witch hazel splash, Fred's New Spice, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Good shave again with the Schick H. Needed a little more touch-up than usual but that's not unexpected when using a newer razor. Terrific soap with Cahaba Blues from Country Club for Men.

    Good shave and hope you have a great day!

    Thursday's Shave:

    prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(COOL)
    shave-Noxema regular
    razor-that ol'Sensor 2 Pivot Machine
    A.S.-Wind Drift by English Leather(via MEM)**

    **
    I haven't used this one in a while, and figured with this brief break in the humidity that it would be a good time. It's hard to tell how much I have left, but such is the challenge of English Leather-they want us to GUESS. But it's a nice after-shave.

    ah, looks like Michigan has two artisan soap companies-Mike's Natural and Maggard's. Is this like the Michigan-Ohio St. rivalry???? :)

    SOTD: Kamisori shave this morning using this left-handed Kanenaga and a new puck of Route 66 'Lavender Woods' lather applied with a TGN synthetic. Great performance from the soap and the woodsy lavender scent I really like. Matching aftershave balm to finish. Smmooooth! :)

    That Tobacco&Leather interests me. So does the CF Barbershop one(as I've talked about). But I'd get them as aftershaves. How do you like the Tobacco&Leather?

    One hell of a face-freezer this shave was thanks to the Glacial Wintergreen trio. The soap lathered super-easily, rich, thick, and slick and its lovely wintergreen scent filled the bathroom. The menthol effect walloped me right away and got even stronger while I was re-lathering for my second pass. The matching balm and witch hazel continued that great freeze and the Arctique aftershave almost left me disoriented from its own insane freeze. Smooth as silk and so enjoyable! :happy088: :happy088:
