Yesterday's shave was "Sunday Bloody Sunday'. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the right side of my chin was red, sore, and bloody after yesterday's shave. So today I had to use something that had very little chance of a nick.

I got a surprisingly good shave with the M3

Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave 5 [Link]

Result: 2.8/5.0 Must of have been an omen for the Patriots losing yesterday. The Ninja Shave got me on the bottom of my right neck hollow with 2 weepers and a nick. I really need to stay away from that combination. I don't need to put a Feather into a Merkur Slant Bar. At least it healed up by game time. The TOBS Soap is very nice and the BK8 has enough backbone to handle the hard soap.

Aftershave: Ogallala Bay Rum Aftershave 5 [Link]

Result: 4.1/5.0 Much better today. I paired up the Feather with the Gillette TTO and the IP Blade with the 38C Merkur. I re-opened the nick from yesterday just a little. Not unexpected. The rest of the shave was just fine. First pass was with Gillette and the rest of the shave with the 38C. The Ogallala Bay Rum soap just keeps getting better. A little aging has made an already very good soap into an even better soap. Top it off with their great aftershave and I'm in Bay Rum heaven. The Tweezerman brush is the brush that could. Nice little travel brush and if you lose it, it's no big deal. I am really enjoying all my new hair tonics and shampoos from Pinaud Clubman and Lucky Tiger. Lucky Tiger is discontinuing a lot of products though and that is kind of sad. I called them and the demand is just not there. Latest victims are Lucky Tiger Special Formula Hair Tonic, SDR Shampoo, 3 Roses Hair Tonic and Sur Lay Hair Tonic. I was able to find some 3 Roses Hair Tonic and some SDR Shampoo but it will be a hunt for the others.
