One of the best shaves I've had in recent memory

Jordan

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's looking better today. I've been putting triple anti-biotic on it. I grooved it pretty good. I can see where I caught it with the tip of the razor just right. It doesn't help when you have Dumbo ears. I'll post later but I'm coming back with a 4.6/5.0 BBS shave.

 

2007.12.04 Shave of the Day

Hair Tonic: Lucky Tiger Special Formula Hair Tonic
Shave
Razor: Feather Artist Club DX Japanese Style Non-Folding Razor ACD-N [Link]
Razor: Feather Professional Blades for Feather ACD-N
Razor: Merkur 34G Classic HD Double Edged Safety Razor Gold
Razor Blades: 7am Platinum Double Edged Razor Blades v2
Brush: Omega 6212 Elegant Silvertip Badger Natural Handle Shave Brush
Bowl: Mitsuwa 6" Beige shallow hand thrown Japanese bowl with side rest
Shave Cream/Soap: Cremo Cream Cremo Cream Shave Cream
Technique: (Feather WTG/ATG)/(DE XTG/Cleanup)
Post Shave
Aftershave: Em's Place Minty Menthol Aftershave and Body Splash
Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc

Result: Much better 4.6/5.0 with BBS. Recovered from the disaster I had yesterday which, is healing nicely with some triple anti-biotic ointment on it. The Cremo Cream is a water activated brushless cream. I use a brush anyway. I'm stubborn that way. Thin layer with drops of water added does the trick. I tend to use this cream for special cleanup passes or pre shave lather base rather than a main shave product. Very good product to bring with you on travel and you want to travel light but like I said, not my choice of main shave product. Hopefully, I can get a few more good shaves back under my belt. Today was a good start.
