Technique: WTG (Feather)/WTG (DE)/Cleanup (ATG)
Post Shave
Aftershave: Proraso Pre Post Shave Cream
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc
Cologne: Em's Place Lime Citrus Cologne

Result: 4.3/5.0 One minor weeper on a blemish. With the Feather ACD-N, you could easily slice the whole thing off. Em's shave cream is very thin but it lathers up decent and has a lot of decent qualities. The colognes however are very strong and I prefer something more subtle.
