Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme
Razor: 7/8" Frederick Reynolds Wedge, Barber's Notch
Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger
Creme/Überlather: CarrieM's Black Raspberry Vanilla Shave Creme + TOBS violet Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (lavender, no alcohol)
Post-shave: Trumper's Limes Skin Food
Cologne: Truffit & Hill Spanish Leather
Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer
Result: This morning, I had a surprisingly better shave with my Frederick Reynolds than I am used to. For me, this beast usually performs at its best when used on whiskers that are 2 days old or so, but today...well, what can I say? I was pleasantly surprised. Very smooth shave. For all I know, it could have been my prep . And CarrieM's creme...Top notch!! Delivers moist, consistent lather on demand .
