Week of August 8 SOTD - Monday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme |
Razor: 7/8" Frederick Reynolds Wedge, Barber's Notch |

Creme/Überlather: CarrieM's Black Raspberry Vanilla Shave Creme + TOBS violet Soap + Glycerin |

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 :shrug:. And CarrieM's creme...Top notch!! Delivers moist, consistent lather on demand :). |
