Week #3 - a really nice close shave, but....
I received my sample pack of pre-shave oil and shave cream sampler from Maggard's in the mail yesterday, so I was very much looking forward to today's shave.
I did a hot towel first then applied a eucalyptus pre-shave oil and worked it in. Did another hot towel after it had time to set.
I gave the Trumpers rose shave cream sample a go. Worked up a nice lather and applied it to one side of my face above the jaw. I am still working one section of the face as I am taking it slow and concentrating on the blade angle and pressure.
The wife walks in and takes a whiff of the rose shave cream and says, "it smells like my grandmother's bathroom". That took the wind out of my sails. Again she says "it smells nice, but it reminds me of grandma's bathroom!". Nice cream, but that "endorsement" didn't sit well.
Oh well, I guess that is exactly why I bought a sample pack.
Had a very nice close shave, made one small nick...but all in all I was very pleased using the pre-shave oil.
More practice......
