Pre-Shave: Hot shower + fresh lemon juice
Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill
Razor: 7/8" Novelty 1879, 1/4 hollow, Spike Point
Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Creme/Überlather: Al Raz Da Bomb Custom Shave Creme (scent: cloves + orange + a hint of cinnamon, formulation: dense)
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
Post-shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food
Cologne: Sparks, Claiborne
Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer
Result: Second time with Da Bomb today. The lather was even better than yesterday. I have not experimented by mixing it with any other combination(s) of soap/glycerin yet, but will soon - once I am certain I got the hang of this formulation, which I feel is very close. However, I am not sure if I will see an improvement in quality/density of überlather...this thing is as dense and moist as I have seen in "überland", so far. As far as the shave, my Novelty is one of my first and favorite spikes. This thing is like the "Genie in a bottle" who willingly grants his master's every morning wish - "Whiskers be gone"...and "Poof", just that simple. The shadowy and pesky growth magically disappears and makes way to a smooth and refreshed skin. And so my friends and fellow shavers, as every other cycle in life, this battle of wills will once again come to bear fruit tomorrow. Stay tuned as the saga continues. Same bat time, same bat channel.
