2 passes atg and xtg, bbs. Have been experimenting with a way to warm up my brush prior to shaving, without using a scuttle. Water from our tap isn't as hot as it used to be, we need to replace the hot water heater. So I hit upon the idea of using my Old Spice coffee mug to warm my brush. I heat the water for no longer than 1 minute in the microwave and by the time I'm ready to shave the water is still reasonably warm. This was also my first trial of Lucky Tiger "Aspen " a/s, I was quite pleased with the sent, quite remiscent of an old fashioned barber shop.
