Thread: Portland General Store Whiskey

One thing regarding the aftershave. Its probably the most neutral feeling aftershave Ive ever used. Meaning no burn or sting of any kind. And has the consistency of splashing water on your face. No oily or alcohol feel.

Whiskey......It's not just for breakfast anymore!

I tried an aftershave for the first time last week, after I did a complete shave with one of my straights. It is a Thistle Brand with the cream-colored bamboo handle. It seemed to work well. It was a sample from the Art of Shaving store. It says it is a balm. I've never really felt like I needed one after my safety razor shaves, but it was nice to use after my straight. I think it needs to be just a hair sharper, before I shave. Pun intended. I went straight to the canvas on my strop from the 8,000k stone. I need to buy a 10 or 12,000 grit stone. I also probably need to put some new strop paste on it, as well. I tried their pre-shave oil. It seemed to work well with my original formula Barbasol cream. It works well with my straight. I probably should get a wedge or 3/4 wedge, as my beard is tough. It is coarse and I'd say it is probably dense.
