A.Feist & Co. Lunawerk 5/8
E.J. BBB
Mem sc
Thayers a/s WH astringent
Speick a/s
KD Creations a/s milk

Terrific two pass shave with the Lunawerk. I can always depend on the Mem for a cushioning and smooth lather that helps me feel confident in my technique. While not as good as last week's groundbreaking shave, today's shave was terrific and almost as good. I think I may have turned a corner.
