Thursday Morning

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Vulfix best badger
Soap: Ogallala bay rum and sandalwood
Razor: Merkur open comb
AS: Aqua Velva
ASB: Proraso
Results: I am amazed every time I splash on the velva at how well it performs (for being such a cheap drugstore item) I guess you don't last as long as it has by being sub-par. Very smooth shave. I pick up a very faint pineapple top note from the Proraso ASB and it's gone as soon as it came. Anyone else get that? Have a great day all!
