First ever SotD post, fifth shave ever.
Pre-Shave: Hot Shower, Pacific Pre-Shave Oil
Razor: Boker King Cutter - New Production
Brush: Custom Made Spalted Maple Handle w/ Silver Tip
Cream: C.O. Bigelow Premium Shave Cream
~First time using a cream. I've been using a home-made Sandalwood Goats Milk Soap from Odins Edge that lathers up quite nice. The Bigelow Cream was nice as well, and had a "cooling" effect to it while on the face, ingredients list Menthol. I would like it better if I lathered it in a scuttle I think so that it stayed hot.
Astringent: C.O. Bigelow Skin Tonic- Witch Hazel Formula
~ First time using this product as well. I have previously been using Thayers Original Witch Hazel which I like a lot. The Bigelow Tonic contains alcohol where the Thayers does not. All in all it is nice but I prefer the Thayers. I was at Bath & Body Works yesterday with the girlfriend and they had quite the sale. This is usually 15.00 and I paid just 3.50 for it so figured it was worth a try. I think i'll use this at night rather then after my shaves.
AS: Nivea for Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm
Moisturizer: AOS Calendula & Orange Essential Oil
