Parker22R V1/new Nacet
Erasmic S/C :drool :drool
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Brut cologne

a very enjoyable shave with Erasmic cream. I really love that rich lather, the "old school" scent, and the way it leaves my skin feeling soothed and protected.

 

after the shower at the sink: (used the Claus Porto Orange Amber soap this a.m. Nice.)

EJ Medium Silvertip

Man, the Coconut Oil SC dries my face out. I liken it to the white powder they use on construction sites to dry up mud. Even after applying two aftershaves I can still feel it.

How'd that work for you? Interesting...

 

Strange. I've always found treets to be great performers and they seem to be one of the few blades I've never had a problem with. Theyre workhorses. The chevy 350 of the razor world to me.

 

still no love for the Blue Steel Treets
