3 Pass with a few rough spots, I'm still learning the Futur and don't want to press my luck, but it's getting there.

 

I had to skip my shave yesterday so I could blow the snow off my driveway, but today's shave made up for it. Very enjoyable, and great results. This was my first use of the Sienna balm. I got it from Dr. Mike on a trade. Thanks Mike!

Wednesday: Musgo Real Lime preshave soap / Gillette New razor / Wilkinson white lable blade d1 / Ginger's Garden Lavender soap / VDH boar brush / TWH / Old Spice aftershave

Nice shave. The New/Wilkinson combo is a good one for me. Do know now for sure that further lavender use is out for me. Just applying the lavender soap today caused irritation. Darn, I love that fragrance too.

Tuesday night- No shower before shaving, just warm towels on my face. 7th wetshave so far.

Gillette "Thick Handle" 3 piece "Tech".(A gift from OldFat1, Thanks again)
Trig blade(3rd time using it in razor, not that impressed with it, will put something new in for next shave)
CO Bigelow Shave Cream
Shaved WTG, XTG, and tried ATG. Lathered between each pass.
Witch Hazel splash, followed up by Aloe Gel.
Lot of weepers on my neck, took a few hits with the styptic pencil.

Shave wasn't as smooth as my first few, probably because lack of shower before shave. Also face feels tight today, no irritation so far, but skin feels tight-- maybe from all the styptic I had to use??

Does a preshave oil help on the wet shaves when you haven't showered? Just rinsed with hot water?
