Noxzema just officially became my favorite cream again---I treasure it. Until I received it again this past July, except for a sample of it that a gentleman had sent me, I hadn't used it since 1991, when it was discontinued here in Canada. I'm so happy I have it again!!!!!

2007.11.06 Shave of the Day

Shave
Razor: Feather Artist Club DX Japanese Style Non-Folding Razor ACD-N
Razor Blades: Feather Professional Blades for Feather ACD-N
Razor: Merkur 500 Progress Adjustable Double Edged Safety Razor Chrome
Razor Blades: Panda Stainless Steel Double Edged Razor Blades
Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn Edwin Jagger Made Small Best Badger Brush
Bowl: Mitsuwa 6" Beige shallow hand thrown Japanese bowl with side rest
Shave Cream/Soap: Wars Shave Cream (pre shave lather)
Shave Cream/Soap: L'Occitane Cade Shave Cream
Technique: WTG (Feather)/WTG (DE)/Cleanup (ATG)
Post Shave
Aftershave Balm: L'Occitane Cade Aftershave Balm
Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave
Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc

Result: 4.6/5.0 Doing more ATG with the Feather. Also, I used the Feather to shave my armpits. Wow! that worked well. Scary as hell but it cleared out the hair in a hurry and didn't clog anything. I just wiped down the blade after each swipe. I'll be doing that again. Much easier than using a DE or disposable. No irritation.

Someone asked me why I shave my pits.

As far as the pit shaving, it was a practice I started with working at Wonderbread. With all the sweating and yeast based products, shaving the underarms was a must or I would end up with skin infections. With riding horses, sweating a lot and a high bacteria environment, it just makes sense to keep doing it.
