Razor: boker 5/8
AS: Nivea

Result: This is shave #7 for me (I think), went with just a straight shave and no clean up with the DE, funny thing is I get a get a good shave on the left side of my neck (using my right hand) and the right side needs some work. Also went ATG on my cheeks rather than my typical XTG, liked it better. Definitely an acceptable shave.

ouch. Grey Goose would not make a good aftershave.
