Monday night....
Got the Mamabear sample that erictski sent out, so I had a solid 2-day scruff that had to be hacked off.
W&B 11/16
Mamabear Peppermint?
Boar bristle
Acqua Velva ice blue
First real shave soap I've used after a month of SR shaving. I can't believe the difference it really makes. Guess you guys do know what you're talking about

Tuesday 5/19
- Every Ready 100T boar
- Noxzema Lather Shave cream
- 6/8 Boker Edelweiss
- Thayer's A/F Original
- AVIB w/ menthol added
Result: Great shave today! A friend had emailed me last night and reminded me about pressure...so I was extra conscious of it this morning. One of my best yet, for straights! Only 2 passes, WTG/XTG but dang if I'm not nearer BBS than ever, and very comfortable - no irritation or burning at all! The freezy face from the AVIB w/ menthol was a bit of a let down, though...I don't think I added enough....
