Results: Today was a good day to take my new and improved Novelty for a spin. Max put her in some beautiful ebony with yellow wedge. She looks gorgeous:tu. It's like this wood was created specifically for this blade. The Novelty effortlessly wiped the 24 hr growth. I received a bunch of stuff from MdC and used them in combination today. The soap is well known around this forum so I won't dwell on how wonderful the lather really is. The oil of copra was one I was a little apprehensive about since some folks seem to find it too oily. I actually found it very very refreshing and extremely moisturizing:y. The scent is out of this world (like all MdC products). I topped the day's shave with some of MdC's Limette EdT and it is fabulous to say the least:tu. The staying power is rather short (3-4 hrs for me), but still worth it. An incredible shave to get this busy Thursday off to a great start |
