AS: WitchHazel then Nivea Replenishing ASB
Brush: Dimestore boar
This blade is a recent acquisition, I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger because I couldn't find too much about the company. Cleaned up nice with some simichrome polish, honed w/ Norton 4/8K then PHIG to finish.The Greyhound was excellent, twice around the track and DFS (didn't even have to chase a mechanical rabbit around the bathroom!). Speik + Northwoods was an excellent combo, felt pretty spoiled by tonight's shave. Need to give the old cheap brush more love, I always forget how soft and broken in she's gotten over the years...

It's a cheap cream, the scent is only pleasant, the lather is well cushioned but not as thick and lubricating as "Al's" . It's a decent product by its price (less than 3€ / 7 oz ) , it has menthol, and gives fresh feeling at shaving, but the scent and the feeling in the face are not as top products.

Mikael,
I had never seen a Henckels box before (at least I don't think so). Very nice.

Birnando,
Have an awesome time my friend. BTW: Great shave with the Livi custom. +1 on SRD's Bulgarian Rose. Great stuff indeed.

Sorry to hear that brotha. Lots of liquid is the key (if it's a common cold). On a side note: There is a warning out by the FDA about using MWF in combination with W&B. They state that it leads to excessive happiness, LOL. Great choices.

Interesting...Thanks José. If I recall correctly, some members (I think on B&B) were raving about this brand in a thread (some time ago). Nothing beats Al's cremes.
