Saturday:

Omega brush
Parker 22R/Sharp day 2
Erasmic shaving soap bowl
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Burt's Bees Bay Rum a/shave balm
Pinaud Bay Rum a/shave

a great old school shave today, the Burt's Bees a/shave balm still wasn't quite enough to moisturize my skin, so I needed that extra bit of help from the Lubriderm. Pinaud Bay Rum sure works great as a cologne. I find that right after a shave on the face, it'll sting and burn the daylights out of you!

Doc,

Thanks much! You all seem to be really interesting and knowledgeable, but lacking that awful pretentiousness that permeates many wetshaving forums.

DAMN, but that is refreshing!

Have a good one...

Went nuts today. Took a puck of C&E Almond out of the tub and just threw it into the lather bowl as is. A weeks worth of hot lather in one day. I needed it. It's been a tough couple of weeks.

 

Rick,

How do you like that K-10 EDT. I just tried it the other day.

Joe says it goes fantastic with Aqua Velva. :drool
