Post: Santa Maria Novella Lozione Dopo-Barba

One of the best shaves I've had. I bought the shaving cream at some store I'd been walking past. It's called Lush. They claim to make all of their stuff by hand. I inquired, and they said, yes, they have men's shaving cream. It goes on like a lotion, does not lather. It feels really protective, but it left a slight greasy feeling afterwards. So, instead of using my usual Acqua di Parma after shave balm, I used a more traditional aftershave. Overall, I got a really good shave, and saved a few steps and some time.

Cheers,

Jack

P.S.: the knife you see there is a Carter neck knife. I use it to shave the back of my neck between haircuts. It works just fine dry.
