Considering there's a blizzard outside, I figured I would bring one inside! All the white in the background is the mess that's happening outside....I can't even see across the street

Hot shower
Merkur 38c
Derby Extra (1)
EJ Best Badger
CO Bigelow + KMF Unscented + Menthol crystals
Thayers TH
Nivea High Performance Balm
CO Bigelow Mentha Lotion

Love the Mentha lotion for an awesome cooling sensation! Gave the Derbys a go again after I put them to rest for a while because I was using the Crystal/Personna blades so much.

Got an awesome, 5 blade, intergalactic, baby kissing, foot stomping, faux-blizzard shave! (Jeff, you are my hero)

 

Nice. I am a fan of the Superior 70.

Not as close as most shave, but nice and smooth. I've had a few BBS shaves in a row, so I knew one like this was coming. One like this or an irritating shave - definitely prefer what I got.
