An OK shave. If I find myself in the poor house I
may use Palmolive daily, otherwise I won't.
I would continue to use Pinaud if I became a
millionaire.
I just shaved at this hour, but meh.. I'm crazy...
-The brush/soap are nothing to talk about (wilkinsons). Waiting for Colleen's samples.
-Used edge shave gel as a pre-shave conditioner, while stropping (a buddy left it here but i'd never shave with it)
-Tailor's Eye Witness 6/8... Getting the edge right was a mission and this was the first test...
-Moonshine/UCS Avocado/Olive as aftershave
The shave was easily my closest ever and with absolutely no irritation.
I love my new baby and once again thank X for his instrumental assistance in getting her edge right :D
Edit: Started with a hot shower. K.. Now I can go to sleep lol

Satinedge again. :hmmm: getting better.
I think I'll shave with it a few times as it is and see if it firms up.

I just did a couple more pyramids on my Tailor's but I'm waiting for the nicks to heal before shaving again. Actually got a couple of new ones practicing going against the grain on my chin.
Happy Easter everyone.
After some additional honing on the Japs, my Taylor worked exceptionally well. Left me EXTREMELY clean, without a single nick. My styptic might be feeling jealous atm. lol
I do have one caveat, however:
While waiting for my Domenica Bay Rum to come in with the scales for the duckling, I bought Gilette fusion aftershave, out of curiosity. That's the aftershave gel that comes out of a squirt bottle. Big mistake. It left my face feeling very dry and the scent isn't all that good either. Gonna dump it off on a buddy and go back to moonshine/facial creme.
Please send us a report on the Dominica Bay Rum, I'veQuote:

First shave since seeing the hone. 100% :)
Deal... I can't wait to try it out myself. Can't be any worse than this Gilette cr*p lol. One thing I'll have to try is herb-reinforced moonshine Serbian plum brandy. The problem is that I'd rather drink it than use it as an aftershave. :DQuote:

This was a very close shave. My cousin bought me the Colgate as
a joke. I'm going to use it again in the morning to further test it.
I will use the same brush but my Morley 6/8 SP.
